Beautiful cottage , fully equipped everything you could need. On a working farm with views to die for. Very quiet and peaceful. Host was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. Will definitely book again.
Perfect location with stunning view. Everything you could need is provided in the cottage - even robes and extra towels for the hot tub. Plus a lovely welcome spread of fresh eggs, milk and cake. So peaceful and quiet. Very friendly and helpful host. Hope to come back soon!
Check in was easy and the owner very helpful. Lovely little cottage with fantastic countryside views. The owner had left some cakes and essentials like fresh milk and eggs for us and they were very much appreciated. The hot tub was a lovely addition, just what was needed after a day of walking. Close to many walks and picturesque towns and villages. Would note that the glasses and some other crockery, cutlery could do with an update and as we were there during a very hot few days there were a lot of flies around. Saying this we would still highly recommend for a relaxing holiday. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful. Security, exceptional! Would have given excellent but were delayed trying to exit premises. (Electric Gate). Would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to family and friends.
My partner and I enjoyed a wonderful little holiday at Pig Garth. The property was excellent, spacious, and clean. Julie was an excellent host: responded quickly to messages and was helpful when we had questions. Would definitely recommend!
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
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
The cottage is lovely. However it felt as though the cleaning had been rushed. Lots of cobwebs and the bedroom carpet felt like it needed a really good vacuum. Also not a fan of not having a duvet.We booked an afternoon tea which was tasty. Felt as though the hot tub could have been warmer.
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.
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
Had a great three night stay that culminated with waking up to almost a foot of snow on the morning of departure. Not only did the hosts clear the yard of snow, they helped push the car onto the paved area and then led us down the country road to make sure we could escape. They clean go above and beyond in all that they do. Thank you.
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.
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.
Loved our little 2 night stay

Views amazing

All modern facilities inside

Would definitely recommend and return
Great stay at this property. Let down slightly by a spillage in the fridge that had ran down the kitchen draws and onto floor leaving it very sticky which we cleaned ourselves. Cooker also looked like it needed cleaning so we did not use it. Rug by sofa also looked like it needed a clean and had dog hairs on it. The rest of the property was clean and the views are amazing. Very enjoyable stay just a shame about the issues we have mentioned
Julieâs a perfect host, there when needed , nothings too much trouble, we requested afternoon tea for our arrival, it was such a welcome site, all home made. The cottage is superb, so peaceful and lovely to have calves in our front garden over the wall. The hot tub was our saving grace and Julie kept the hot tub pristine and running each day. We would love to stay again and would highly recommend. Thank you
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.
