Lovely 4 night stay
Really lovely property and enough space for 5 of us. Everything was as described and clean. We had a fabulous 4 night stay and a great location. It was easy to get to York, McArthur Glen and Scarborough. We would definitely return, the owners are lovely and the bonus, a little farm shop.

Lovely, peaceful Barn
A lovely Barn located just 10 minute short drive from the Park and Ride taking you directly into York city centre. Brilliant location for exploring the loval area. The Barn was lovely, clean and welcoming with everything needed. It really was home from home and exceeded expectations.The oweners provided a lovely welcome pack which was gratefully received. This was a treasure to find and we will definitely come back again.

York -July 2023
This was an amazing property with great views of the cows and we were very happy for our 4 night stay. On arrival we were able to relax in the Garden and enjoy the sun , but we looked at the forecast and the rest of the time was going to be very wet. It was sad that we only got a few hours with no rain , but after going into York and getting wet for 2 days we were so pleased to be able to come back to this amazing property. It's larger that it looks in the pictures and very well located for the park and ride. We would like to come back some time, great beds and great night sleep and a very well equipped kitchen. Next time we come we may have better weather and get to explore the area . On a wet day the designer retail park 15 mins drive away is great , some nice shops we don't get in the south and our boys loved all the big sports shops and Haribo shop.

About the host

Hosted by Jayne

Host profile image
Kevin grew up at Ivy House Farm, Kexby, in 1985 married Jayne and we have both worked on the farm since then. In the year 2000 Jayne opened a pet shop and put plans in motion to convert an old farm building and pig sty into Ivy Cottage. This has been a long project, but we wanted Ivy Cottage to be a stunning and comfortable place, with high standards, which we would love to stay in ourselves.

What makes this property unique

Ivy Cottage is located on the family farm with open views of the countryside but close to York city centre, York Maze, Elvington Air Museum, MacArthur Glen Designer Outlet and is also ideally situated for the east coast, Leeds, Harrogate, the Yorkshire Dales/Moors.

There are several villages nearby which have good pubs/restaurants and other local amenities so everything required for an enjoyable holiday is close to hand.
