A beautiful house right in the heart of of the countryside. The cottage was cosy and tucked away in a peaceful area. The bedrooms were very spacious, beds comfy, plenty of space in the living areas and a very large kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay here 🙂

Beautiful property on the edge of a lovely little village which had a butchers, village shop etc. Lots of great pubs nearby too. House is a private and peaceful setting, super comfy and spacious rooms. Can’t fault!

Intake is just delightful. Beautifully furnished, extra comfy beds and surrounded by peaceful countryside. It was very special to stay here with my family and I would revisit in a heartbeat. Can’t think of a single thing I would change.

Another lovely stay at this beautiful old farmhouse. The views and peace and quiet are so special and the house very comfortable.

We were a family of 7, the three children aged 10, 7 and 2.
Intake was a beautiful property set in a valley with a drive up to the main road. A stunning location which was peaceful and afforded stunning views across the fields.
The house was in perfect order, newly done up it seems and the furnishings and beds were so comfortable. The bed linen and towels of a high standard. Yorkshire Escapes were very helpful and efficient.
The area is wonderful. We enjoyed visiting Fountains Abbey, Newby Hall and the Himalayan Gardens and sculpture park. All within easy distance. Ripon is a lovely city with interesting museums.
Thank you to the owners and Yorkshire Escapes for a truly fabulous family holiday.

Had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean and the location was amazing

Everything we wanted – space, peace, well-appointed, comfy sofas, tastefully decorated… We didn’t want to leave.  This place is beautiful and we would 100% return and recommend to friends.

The house and location were perfect for a family trip. Beautiful surroundings and very secluded. Would love to re-visit and would definitely recommend the house for a quiet getaway.

Beautiful property, spacious and well presented. Perfectly sized for our group of 7 with room for another person. Super comfortable beds, great amenities and simply wonderful overall.

Perfect stay, the host was super helpful with any questions we had and always responded quickly.

Everything fabulous. beautiful setting and surroundings. comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.

Beautiful cottage to spend a few days. Nice to see the sheep and their lambs in the adjoining field. Loved having a downstairs bedroom and toilet so the oldies could come along too. Everything was spot on! Lots of pots and pans and utensils to be able to cook, without having to worry. Logs provided for the logburner which was very much appreciated… Beautiful views and a very peaceful location. Hoping to return as soon as we can.

A really lovely property in beautiful countryside. I really appreciated the peace and quiet, the views and the warmth and comfort of the house – from the incredibly comfortable beds to the elegant sitting room and farmhouse kitchen. I will definitely go back!

Absolutely gorgeous cottage, furnished to a very high standard and immaculate, with all the amenities you could ever need. The surrounding area is stunning and we were lucky to have a really good week of weather too! Great location for walking and had some nice day trips to Ripon, Harrogate & Pateley Bridge. Highly recommend a stay!

Lovely peaceful house set in the countryside down a long track from a quiet road. It is a very comfortable with lots of character. It is ideal for families to stay. The house is surrounded by fields, with sheep, deer, rabbits, hares and birds including curlews.
We enjoyed our stay for a long weekend in April and the sun shone everyday.

We had a lovely time, the house was full of character, tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed for cooking and dining. The beds were comfortable, with cosy duvets.

We looked at some of the books and played with games with our grandchildren.

We enjoyed being in the quiet and peaceful location listening to the birds and watching the sheep & lambs, rabbits and hares.

We loved our stay at Intake cottage. The pictures don’t do the property justice, everything was spotless, the kitchen was really well stocked and the scenery was beautiful. A perfect country escape, we will be back thank you!

Wonderful place. We visited as an extended family with a 4 and 1 year old . Plenty of space and character. It was also very well resourced.

Intake is a tastefully furnished, spacious house in an unspoilt rural location. It is very hard to find fault with it. We had a great week and would definitely like to return. The service from Yorkshire Escapes was quick, efficient and helpful.

Beautiful home, idyllic surroundings, lovely and homely interior. Perfect for our weekend getaway, thank you very much!

Absolutely fantastic house. Probably the best air bnb I have ever stayed in. I would love to come back and stay there again in the future.

Fantastic place to stay. Spotlessly clean, everything you need in the fully equipped kitchen. Every room is large and beautifully decorated. The house is even better than the photos. Good nights sleep in the quiet location, great views over the countryside and wildlife that surrounds it. Such a lovely place to visit the area and spend time with family. We will be recommending the house and will revisit. Can’t thank you enough.

We had a great stay at Intake. There was plenty of space for us all (6 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs). The kitchen was well equipped and the living room is cosy but spacious. Great location just out of town with nice views and surrounding fields. We would definitely recommend staying here and would come again!

Had a lovely stay. Good for 2 – 3 families. Great space for the kids to run around outside. Easy communication and clean well equipped house
