Reviews
Booked at the last minute as there was a window of availability. Contacted the owner by phone prior to arriving, (much earlier than normal check in time) after booking which was pre agreed without any issue. ‘The Granary’ is on a working farm in the small village of Askham. It’s a great place to get away from it all but equally it’s easy to get to places to visit if you want. The standard of accommodation is really very well done and creates a cosy, traditional yet contemporary feel. Everything we needed to cook was there. There’s even friendly cats, a dog a donkey and some sheep, so if you live animals it’s all here. We were very comfortable during our stay and would highly recommend Orchard Hill Farm to anyone seeking a lovely friendly place to stay.
Spent a lovely weekend in the upstairs apartment of this building, and Sue the owner was kind enough to let us have a look at this one as well. They are beautiful apartments and so well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Set in a beautiful countryside location the grounds are immaculate and Sue and her daughter are lovely hosts. I would stay here again and would recommend to anybody looking for a few days in the country.
An excellent property in a great location. The owners were really friendly and helpful and there was a lot of information readily available about what to do in the area. I would definitely recommend it.
Loved the peace and quiet at The Granary . The owner was very friendly and helpful.
