Reviews

A beautiful, cosy cottage set in idyllic countryside. The Calf Pans have been restored to a very high standard, and the underfloor heating is amazing! A perfect location for the children to play outside, with lots of ducks, cats, pheasants, lambs and deer to spot. The owner is very friendly and kind, making us feel very welcome. The added extras of eggs, bread and some treats for the grown-ups and children made for a really personalised touch. There is lots to do and see in the surrounding area too. Masham has lots to offer - a weekly market, some great cafes and pubs, lots of local produce for sale. We very much enjoyed the Easter trail around the town centre! Other highlights were a visit to Stump Cross Caverns. A fantastic family day out, and a really good cafe too. We also visited Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Bird of Prey Sanctuary. The bird of prey talk was the best I have ever been to! There seems to be lots of lovely gardens (National Trust/RHS) to visit in the surrounding area, so will come and visit again in the summer months to see some of these places. Thank you very much for a fantastic stay. We will be back!

Miss S,

The Calf pens is a delightful cottage. The surrounding is very peaceful. There is no traffic noise, all you can hear are ducks, sheep and cows. The cottage is located outside Masham next to the Marfield Wetlands, a "Site of Importance for Nature Conservation". So there are plenty of walks nearby. On the other hand, the village with its shops isn´t far away. Sights such as Fountains Abby and Studley Royal Water Garden, Ripon Cathedral, Brimham Rocks, Middleham Castle are within easy reach - as is the whole Yorkshire dales NP. And if it rains York ist less than 1 hour away by car. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Dr H,

This is an outstanding property run by a lovely owner. Quality of accommodation is extremely tasteful and the surroundings are extremely restful. I would strongly recommend in all regards.

Mr R,

Lost count of how many times we have stayed here. Needless to say - we love it.
