The Foldyard Reviews

William
An ideal set up for a large family holiday, the separate barns worked well, and the games room was well used. A lovely welcome basket went down very well. Some lovely walks straight from the property, as well as a good golf course close by. Great pubs and coffee stops in the surrounding villages, would highly recommend the Pipe and Glass for a special meal.
Janey
We stayed in all 3 properties for a celebration birthday. The location was spot on and the comfort was incredible. Lovely properties with all the home comforts provided. The craft/ deli in the village was great too
Ben
Really great barn conversion for a large family gathering. The three linked properties means there's plenty of space/privacy/quiet for those who need it, and the large communal spaces are ideal for spending time together.
Gemma
We absolutely loved our stay for my husbands 40th. Plenty of room for 14 adults to eat, play games, relax and drink! We did get out to the local pub but really felt happy onsite. The place is so modern and well decorated. The host was super quick to help with a heating issue that was resolved straight away. Thank you
Glenys
Beautiful property from the interior design, to even the smallest thing was thought of ,13 of us and 3 dogs for mums 80th ,we just had the most amazing time ,and so glad we spent it there ,would return in an instant ,
Elaine
We rented the full accommodation, 12 adults, 2 teenagers and a 15 month old. Everything is there that you need, from pots and pans, kitchen utensils to board games and games room which was used constantly
Nicola
The cottage is amazing. Absolutely perfect for our surprise 50th with friends. Very spacious and all cottages are a high standard. Location brilliant - and only a short walk to the village. Will be booking again and will highly recommend any one to book.
Karen
Excellent accommodation. High standard of cleanliness and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable
Christine
Lovely accommodation
Lauren
The Foldyard is made up of three beautiful properties that are well furnished and well equipped. We arrived as a party of 14 and were all taken aback by the standard of the property. It was perfect for a large family celebration, we had an amazing stay and would definitely love to return!
Carla
The place suited our needs well and we had a lovely staff here.
Anthea
This is an ideal venue for an extended family/ friends as the different 'houses' easily allow for individual groups to have their own space whilst also having room to enjoy being together. We particularly enjoyed the courtyard as we had great weather. The pool table was a great hit with all ages (8 - 70). The cottages have been decorated in lovely colours, and all the soft furnishings of high quality, as are the beds and bed linen. We appreciated having plenty of good tea towels, and hand towels in each bathroom (as well as bath and hand towel for each guest). It was lovely to find wine and other goodies and treats for us on arrival. As we had all three properties we were able to share fridge and freezer space but would have struggled if we only had one property, particularly with freezer space. Also, had we not had all three properties, we would have hesitated to use the courtyard and games room as much as we did.
Chris
A really great propert, 10 adults and 4 children took the entire complex and it was marvelous great location, friendly host, amazing quality. The property us every bit as good as the pictures suggest. Surprised it's not permanently reserved!
Araminta
We had the most wonderful time. A glorious location and everything done to a high standard. Excellent value for money
Susan
The Foldyard was perfect for our family bank holiday stay with a â??wowâ? factor. We will return!
Sam
Foldyard is perfect for family gatherings. We loved the secure courtyard and games room . There was everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean . The welcome pack was a extra special with fresh local bread and loaf . We would love to return in the near future .
Alan
Fabulous property in fantastic rural location. Perfect for a large party.
Joy
This was a very pleasant and comfy stay. We would highly recommend it. It worked well for a family of 14, for a family celebration. The only slight problem of no hot water, in one cottage, was very quickly rectified once we had mentioned the owners.
Siobhan
We had a wonderful time over the Easter weekend, 3 generations of our family came together to celebrate my Sonâ??s 30th birthday and the accommodation and layout suited all of us. Excellent facilities, well looked after properties, very clean and a delightful, safe place to stay. Owners left a lovely welcome basket for us to share which was such a thoughtful addition and treat. Will definitely stay there again.
Thomas
Excellent property, exceeded expectations
Emma
A really lovely comfortable and warm place to stay. Excellent for groups. Well equipped with good quality kitchen bits and bedding. Beds really comfy. Parking excellent. There's nothing not to like.
Juliet
Just spent a fabulous long weekend at the Foldyard, celebrating a family 30th birthday. The accommodation was ideal for a large group, and the pool room was a great added bonus for the youngsters. Beautifully renovated, the property was well equipped with comfortable beds and quality bedding. The open fires and underfloor heating were very welcome! The owners were on hand for any queries. With easy access to York and the countryside, we would certainly recommend for larger groups.
Helen
Lovely property, excellent host. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway.
