The property has been well done inside and the host was very friendly. We had the afternoon tea on arrival which was nice. The views are spectacular. However, the cleanliness of the cottage was well below what we're used to and what we expect from anywhere we choose to stay a
Perfect little get away , well equipped property with everything you can think off you would need home from home , just bring your shopping. Topped off with some personal touches of milk , eggs, and cake waiting for us on our arrival ..definitely..wourecommend
Came for a 2 night stay with my partner to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. The cottage is perfect, really lovely inside and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. Communication from Julie was brilliant when needed. Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for 2 nights and had a great time! The Pig Garth is a great little property. The perfect size for us and our 2 dogs to relax. The hot tub is a great addition, especially with the amazing views!
Well what an absolute find needed to get our dachshund away as constantly was upset by the coming and going of the window fitters in our house so took her away from the stress and ourselves and what more could we ask for absolutely stress free surroundings hot tub was an absolute bonus will visit again
Went for two nights mid-week with my partner and our dog to celebrate my birthday. Lovely little well kept and decorated property. With nice touches like fresh eggs, milk, homemade cakes and fresh flowers when you arrive. Literally on a working farm with all of the hustle and bustle you would expect, but it still felt private, with great views over the fields. Well stocked kitchen, we cooked both nights we were there. Plenty of walking spots nearby and unrestricted use of the hot tub.
Stayed Sunday to Friday and had an excellent short stay in Pig Garth, such a great find, peaceful, views, warm, cozy, well equipped and presented, couldnât have asked for more and the little extra touches very much appreciated. We didnât use the hot tub this time or have an afternoon tea so we will have to book again and look forward to doing that. Thank you so much, we really have had a lovely few days.
Lovely little cottage in peaceful setting. Added bonus of a hot tub that we used daily during our stay being a perfect end of the day of visiting local towns and walks. Will surely be back!!
I live and work here with Nicholas my husband and our son John who lives on our second farm at Blubberhouses and comes in everyday to work. We run a Dairy and sheep farm, farming just over 500 acres. In 2019 we installed 3 milking robots to milk our herd of 150 Holstein cows, we keep all the calves and rear them to 2 ears old when the males and continental breeds are sold on and all the females are kept for replacements in the dairy herd. We try to be as green as possible by growing as much of the fodder needed for winter here and harvesting it ourselves so keeping fuel use as low as possible. In 2012 we invested in a wind turbine to produce some electricity for the business and we also sell the excess back to the grid. Nicholas's mother's family moved here in 1932 after being moved of their farm to make away for a new reservoir. Mary Houseman was11 years old and came with her mother father and two older sister. In July 1945 Mary married George Houseman ( note she didn't have to change her surname) and they stay here and George worked together with Jesse his father in law to run the farm, taking over when Jesse retired. Nicholas grow up here with his older bother and sister and young brother and has worked here since leaving school. In 1981 I married Nicholas and we lived at our other farm at Blubberhouses where we had our son John in 1988 and we moved here in 1999 after building a granny flat for Mary which is now the Old Calf Shed and we converted the Pig Garth in 2018. In 2020 we welcomed George our lockdown grandson and in 2021Lily completed the family. This year we are having a change around and John and family are moving up here and Nicholas and myself are moving across the yard into one of the barns.
We converted the Pig Garth in 2018, it was a small building that consisted of 4 small boxes originally used for calves and lambs, but as the farm evolved it was no longer viable to use so was beginning to fall into disrepair, so it was decided to try and get planning to convert and we were very luck to be given permission to convert. I love the fact that though it is close to the house it is also very private and is a very calm and peaceful place to rest.
Although we have a wonderful rural location with stunning views and peace and tranquil atmosphere we are only about 5 miles from Otley, 6 miles from Harrogate. close to the railway for Leeds and York, and the Yorkshire Dale are a short ride away. For anyone who just wants to chill out we have many fabulous walks direct from the cottage, our if you are more energetic, Stainburn Forest that is behind us has some really good cycle tracks for all levels. We also enjoy showing any guests round the farm to watch the milking and help feed the calves. Whilst you are here why not treat yourselves to an afternoon tea served on vintage china and consisting of freshly made sandwiches, mini quiches and homemade scones and cakes or indulge in homemade chocolates.
