Alice’s Garden @ Bleak House Farm

I spent many days deciding whether to opt for Alice's little piece of paradise, and ended up booking in the early hours on the day of the stay. This may have created a few problems, but you'd never have known and Alice has gone to the trouble of providing a plant based milk alternative, when I informed her we were vegan in the booking.. Alice herself met us when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know.. I didn't notice it say anywhere,, but the Sheppard's got included a microwave and toaster, the former which is used within one of the cupboards. It certainly made basic food preparation much easier than I'd expected.. there's also a sizable fridge with a freezer department. Again you can't see in the photos, but there is a TV on the wall at the end of the bed. The hot tub was especially great, big in size and hot in temperature, depending how long it's been heated, with natural log fires heating both the hot tub and the sauna. The sauna itself was the perfect size for two, but is also shared with the other Alice hit that shouldn't be a problem. The hot tub is very private. Opted for Ubers into the city centre, costing around £6 to get in and around £9-11 to get back in the evening.

Difficult to find something that we didn't like, but a couple of points to note. The sauna to me took a long time to heat up, and was difficult to get to the expected temperature, but that may have been as much due to my fire starting skills. The other thing I would suggest is getting something on the back of the two rugs to prevent them slipping so much.

Absolutely beautiful and cosy, the place was very clean and the hot tub and sauna were a great bonus

Just returned from a two night stay here. Nothing else to say other than absolutely fantastic! The friendliest hosts ( including the cat!) Everything you can possible need. Lovely walk into York and your own little piece of paradise tucked away. Can’t wait to return.

The property was fabulous. Very clean and well presented with everything you needed. So cosy. Will certainly stay again.

Nothing.

We always have a great stay here.

The place was amazing, we felt like we were in the film The Holiday, it was idyllic, we chilled as soon as we arrived. The place was peaceful but close enough to York if you wanted to go and see the beautiful city. The host Mark was fantastic.

there was nothing we didn't like.

Cute place, really nice and well thought of. Hot tub was great would definitely reccomend. Oh and Mark was brilliant on arrival showing us around the property. Was a brilliant weekend away, including the Christmas Market Too!

The location was really nice and secluded, host was really helpful and welcoming. Really close to York only £5ish for an Uber. Would thoroughly recommend.
