Stay House

Had a lovely stay- 3 families for a birthday. Beautiful house in beautiful scenery. Home was very warm and beds were very comfortable. some TLC needed in places, broken cooker door, broken door knob, many doors don't close shut properly. Good communication from the host prior to visit but messaged on arrival to advise one of the external doors was unlocked with no key and we did not get a reply. Would also benefit from a slightly check out time. Roughly 20min drive to civilisation/town with shops. However, would revisit.

Amazing house, we had a lovely time! It is on a working farm (which the kids loved) but isn’t clearly highlighted in the listing. The kitchen is well equipped and all of the bedrooms are a great size. A perfect place for our family meet up.

Perfect

Great 3 night stay as an extended family party, plenty of rooms to spread out, peaceful scenic countryside and decent satellite internet speeds for everyone,mainly the kids, to get online.

Gorgeous building in a lovely quiet area, not much nearby which is what we wanted but worth keeping in mind for others. Interior was very modern-ly presented and tastefully developed.

Excellent thank you x

Thank you we vacated the property at approximately 9;40am I have to say we really enjoyed our stay however there was a few issues The cleanliness of the property was extremely poor when we arrived there was a full box of empty beer bottles and wine bottles in a box by the door the bathrooms were full of spiders Webbs and the oven was very poor the oven door did not close properly and took an extremely long time to cook our evening meals Considering the amount of money I have been charged for the cleaning of this property I am very disappointed The location is a little to far from the nearest town an PH there is poor public footpaths nearby to walk your dogs Most rooms in this property had a strong odour of damp this is probably because no windows open ?

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. So much space! Couldn’t have asked for a better house to spend time away as a family. Plenty of space for 7 adults and 3 children and huge gardens to play in. So peaceful (except for the sound of the farm animals from time to time). Just wonderful!

Fabulous property in a quiet and picturesque rural location. Nicely furnished and decorated throughout, and clean. On arrival, there was water on the kitchen floor from the dishwasher, which was full of dirty, smelly water. Cleared that up and tried to get dishwasher working before seeing a review from 2 weeks earlier reporting it broken. Asked host, who said they were awaiting parts. Unsure why host didn't leave a note or tell us in advance. Requested tea towels etc so we could wash/dry dishes by hand, but was told they could only provide the standard 'pack' of one J-cloth and 2 tablets for the (broken) dishwasher! We went out and brought our own. Also reported one of the showers unuseable because the temperature control was stuck on hot. Host noted it but didn't have it repaired. The host responded to emails promptly and came across well, but didn't actually do anything to sort the dishwasher or shower. Didn't spoil the holiday though - great location and great property. Thank you.

Gorgeous grounds and lovely old house with so much space

The house was perfect for a family trip away of 7 adults and a baby. It was nice and spacious and the surroundings are lovely. However we did report an issue with the dishwasher not working shortly after arriving and didn’t receive a response to this until we chased twice. A maintenance engineer was sent out on the last night of our stay but the problem wasn’t resolved. Also note that the house isn’t equipped with any basic cooking/cleaning essentials such as oil, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets (when it works) and extra toilet roll so be prepared to pack or buy a lot.

Not our first visit here because we absolutely love it x

We booked this house for a family gathering. There was plentry of areas to have family time or go sit reading a book on your own. It was a perfect weekend in a perfect property. Thank you!

Absolutely perfect - Thank you for having us We’ve booked again x

All the rooms are beautifully styled.comfortable beds. Lovely bathrooms.kitchen well equipped. Gorgeous location. Lovely property. Walks just outside the door. Great communication from the owners. Very minor and more a suggestion .maybe more outside seating if the house is at full capacity and the same with the dining table. Could do with some board games if the weather is not good.

Gorgeous house in a lovely location. House was really clean and perfect for a big group to spend time together. The only things I would say that would make it better would be if there was refills for the toilet paper. Only one or two rolls per toilet and with 11 people it doesn’t last very long. Also some stains on the towels which were noticeable as they were white. Also some doors didn’t shut and locks didn’t work on bathroom doors. There was lack of kitchen essentials e.g. oil, salt and pepper even though we were told that essentials such as those would have been provided. Other than that, a perfect place to stay in North Yorkshire and we would definitely love to return. The issues raised were only minor things and could easily be amended. I’d recommend Stay House to anyone!

Great place for a big group - allot of space and super clean

Beautiful location and beautiful house. Pictures are nice but don't do it justice! It is big! All rooms are lovely and well decorated. Loved the local farm animals on site too. I think as the house is so big and open it can be difficult to heat in the winter but we did eventually get it to the right temperature :-) Overall though, Great house, great location and great value!

The house was lovely and perfect for our party size. The only thing was one of the downstairs doors didn't lock. Also the shared bathroom door upstairs didn't lock easily from one side and not at all from the other, so difficult to relax in case someone walks in on you! Also the upstairs bedroom door didn't shut properly so kept opening during the night. Apart from that we had a great time and the facilities were excellent.

Booked the house for a family get together, which it was perfect for. Spacious dining/living area, as well as great size bedrooms, and it was nice to have the 2nd lounge area. The house is set in a beautiful rural area, which was perfect for us. On our 2nd evening we drove into Thirsk (approx 15mins drive) for an evening meal. I would definitely recommend the house, and would stay here again.

We went on a family holiday and had lots of kids with us which loved the outdoor space and the farm that was close by we had all amazing time .

Stay House is in a beautiful location, and it is a wonderful house. We stayed here for a special occasion as it was our friend's 60th. Whilst the house is beautiful, there are no games or cards or books or anything that would make it a bit more welcoming and also give you things to do in the evening if you wanted to play cards etc. Also the oven door wouldn't close and whilst the host sent somebody out - they couldn't mend it there and then and so the big roast we had planned for Sunday took ages to cook and spoilt the meal. Although the house caters for 12 people, there are no big pans or frying pans so cooking for a big party was quite tricky. We did enjoy our stay but I think the house could have been better equipped.

Great accommodation, a bit away from anything but if you’re up for that then it’s great. Lovely walks a short drive away. We hosted 6 but could’ve easily done more with the double beds and large living space.

Absolutely stunning farm house. Perfect for a big group. Lots of space and beautifully decorated. Charlie was great too replied straight away if I needed to ask a question. Thanks again, we will be booking again

Great location, and a perfect place for a family get together.

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning location for a week. The living areas and rooms are spacious and well-maintained. Everything was clean and inviting. Highly recommended!

Great location, great price for the side. Lovely quiet place for a weekend staying in for a big group.

Really nicely decorated and spacious property. It was difficult to heat downstairs on the first couple of days (but was particularly cold outside) and there were no logs or kindling for the fire. We had a great stay regardless!

Thanks for such a wonderful stay! Hoping to stay again!

What a wonderful stay with 3 generations of my family for a long weekend get together! The farmhouse was delightful and very spacious with beautiful surroundings which was very tranquil, albeit a few moo’s from the nearby cows! The spacious living and dining area was perfect for all the family to come together where we all ate, laughed and played lots of family fun games, it was just what we imagined! The kitchen was huge and very well equipped. We cooked all our meals for the 3 day stay and had everything we needed. Loved that host and stay offered Nespresso coffee pods for the coffee machine ?? very much appreciated! With 6 very large bedrooms we all had our own space within the property to relax and enjoy some chill time, great that the bedroom all us their own smart tv’s! We will certainly be back to enjoy all over again in the not to distant future ?

Kepwick House is a beautiful, peaceful and spacious house. And although old in history, it’s lovely and modern inside. It looks exactly as it is on the photos. It is surrounded by farmlands, the kids enjoyed seeing the sheep and cows. Believe it or not the house itself is 600 years old, part of the monarchs. So lots of history within the house. We know this because we met the owner who happened to know a family friend of ours. We were 9 adults and 3 kids and the house felt sufficient in size. The kids were 6,3 and almost 2. If you have a toddler though, be prepared to keep eyes at all time because there are a fair few stairs in the house and no child proof gates etc. from the stairs leading up to the bedrooms. But lovely area for playing. One of the downsides of the house is the insulation. If you are staying during winter it can get very cold in the main living area and kitchen. Drafty through the kitchen. All in all though, a gorgeous house for a peaceful holiday. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous. Great value for money. The house was gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay.

Accomodation as described, nice location, good views. Was very cold, struggled to get the house warm.

Very good thank you

Overall a great stay

Beautiful surroundings and a lovely house to stay. Fantastic vicinity to Sutton Back and local walks. Would highly recommend and will hopefully be back for another visit.

Had an amazing stay with my friends! Lovely and clean and the perfect place for a big group.

Lovely property set in beautiful countryside.

Great weekend! Beautiful place, would definitely visit again! Thank you!

What a stunning house! The pictures really don’t do it justice. It’s huge! All the bedrooms are a very generous size and there is a choice of an open plan family lounge and a super cosy snug lounge. Although based in a rural setting the tech is great, wifi works really well and there are numerous Smart TVs which are really easy to stream to. The house is also conveniently located to explore the beautiful local area and close to towns such as Thirsk and Northallerton for stocking up on provisions. The garden is enclosed and was perfect for our dog. It’s next door to a field of very friendly and calm sheep. The scenery is beautiful and the house is extremely private. It was pure bliss to hole ourselves away there for the weekend.

Beautiful area x

Amazing place! I would say it’s even better than the picture! A great space for entertaining and a big enough kitchen to feed everyone which is great! The garden was great for dogs and all secure! The decor was so modern and refined, to the point we are going to re paint rooms in our home to match the lovely green running through the home. We highly recommend!!

Stay House was a gorgeous place, beautiful accommodation in a stunning location. The issue we had was with Host and Stay. There were a couple of situations we needed support with (a local kerosene delivery arrived without our knowledge and then we lost power on our check out day) and the company were VERY unhelpful. My son also had an injury whilst we were there (caused by a stray carpet nail) and their treatment was superficial and entirely unhelpful. They didn't even know when we were checking out! Very detached management company responsible for a very important family holiday.

Disappointed I had to chase for arrival info. Booked for a family birthday weekend and to suit family member with mobility issues. Downstairs toilet blocked upon arrival (apparently not the first time). No follow up for the rest of the weekend resulting in complete inconvenience and pain for the whole family. Electrics dangerous. Dining room light trips the fuse board and happened throughout weekend. One downstairs external door does not lock leaving family expoexposed to any intruders. Not all linen provided. Missing towels. No teatowels or bin liners left. Description does not include working farm and animals nearby. Complaints made. No follow up. Complaints form sent. No Follow up This house is lovely and could have been a nice stay if accurate info posted and complaints followed up.

This is a great house for a large gathering in a beautiful part of the UK , with lots of walking , stunning landscape and gorgeous villages to see. Spacious and clean with plenty of toilet/bathrooms. The bedroom sizes are fantastic, the beds very comfortable with good quality linen. We were all very comfortable. Hot water supply and water pressure was great and the house was warm enough for us in October. The space outside is beautiful with two lovely gardens, although not nearly enough outdoor seating, only 4 chairs and a table. The equipment in the kitchen is lacking too. One medium frying pan is nowhere near enough to cook a fry up for 12. Although there were a lot of pans, none of them were big enough to cook spag bog for 12. It would also have been helpful to have a few essentials included like salt and pepper, some teabags, etc. There were no games or books, so come prepared especially if you have children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this gorgeous house. Excellent space in the living area. Fabulous getaway as a family for my mums 70th. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, spacious farmhouse in a peaceful, rural setting on a working farm. The house has been beautifully decorated and furnished with big comfy rooms and there is plenty of space. There is a large, fully enclosed garden making it perfect for dogs, and lots of space for muddy wellies, boots and coats. Looks just like the photos and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A superb location away from it all ; a modern interior with huge rooms , but within a beautiful old building.comfy beds and lovely bathrooms, with a kitchen to die for. a great place to gather with room for everyone to do their own thing too. Dog friendly and space for muddy boots and coats. The kids loved seeing the animals each morning and the country air did us all good. There were 4 generations in our group and we all enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

A lovely large property.

Lovely house in a great setting.

great property! it is very nicely done. you can tell a lot of money has been spent on it. very relaxing stay in lovely surroundings We came with my grandma in her wheelchair and there is a downstairs toilet and sink but the shower is up a few stairs. there is no on-suite for the downstairs bedroom. not too much of a problem for my gran (as only there 3 nights) but might be for some. also a there is a step into their down stairs bedroom. perhaps missing some kids toys and would be nice if there was a swing of something outside.

We loved our stay. The house is literally on a farm away from everyone apart from the cows and sheep. The house is very big and as described. There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen for those cooking meals. The beds were clean and comfy, and the bathrooms were equipped with small shampoos, etc. and toilet rolls. Really great for big families or a few smaller families staying together.

A beautiful house in a lovely location. It was very private and peaceful. We stayed with 3 families and there was so much space. Bedrooms very spacious. House was clean and is decorated beautifully. It had everything we needed for a great weekend with friends. We had a fantastic weekend and would definitely return.

Beautiful, tranquil area. The house was spotless, modern and very spacious. Well stocked with amenities except there was no spare loo rolls, kitchen roll or any cleaning sprays at all. We bought our own. Apart from that a fantastic stay in a beautiful house.
