Ghyll Crest Reviews

A group of 11 of us stayed here over a long weekend to celebrate a 30th birthday, and we couldnt have picked a better place. The house is absolutely stunning, much more spacious than it appears in the photos and spotlessly clean. The kitchendiner was the ideal social hub, with plenty of room and everything we needed. We were greeted with thoughtful touches like milk, eggs, and Easter eggs, which made us feel instantly welcome. Each of the bedrooms were as beautiful as each other, so no one felt like they got the short straw. The terrace at the back is generously sized, complete with two sets of outdoor furniture and a hot tub tucked away to the side, all overlooking the breathtaking North Yorkshire countryside. The hot tub was checked and maintained daily, which was really reassuring. The surrounding area is an idyllic Yorkshire town, perfect for relaxing walks and soaking in the scenery. Im usually incredibly particular about places I stay, but I genuinely couldnt find a single fault. Ill be recommending this place to friends and family and definitely hope to return. Thank you, Emma, for such a wonderful stay, it truly made for a 30th birthday well never forget.
A fantastic property which was great for our family group who enjoyed the beautiful location with great walks and bike rides from the door. We had a super week and found the large house and facilities to be perfect for a really enjoyable holiday. The open plan kitchendining area, terrace and hot tub made for lovely convivial evenings and we were blessed with fantastic April sunshine all week which may things even better. Highly recommended.
We had a fab long weekend here in March. The house is BEAUTIFUL as well as the surroundings and views. The open kitchendining area is perfect for the group size this house accommodates so we could all be together in one room. The host is very helpful and really has thought of everything you would need for your stay. We especially enjoyed the little touches including the robes for the hot tub. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic stay, 100 recommend! As a group of 10 celebrating a 60th birthday this property had everything we needed, a beautiful big kitchen for us all to celebrate together, stunning views over the countryside and a fab hot tub that everyone enjoyed. The location is lovely and peaceful but still close enough to enjoy the nearby areas of Thirsk and Northallerton. We all had a wonderful stay and will absolutely be recommending to friends and family in the future.
We had a fantastic stay at Ghyll Crest! Emma was a fantastic host. Everything you could possibly think of Emma had already thought of. Lovely walks surround the area. A pub is also in walkable distance. We would highly recommend Gyhll Crest to anyone!
Cannot fault anything on our stay here, would happily stay again. Kitchen Dining Area Everything possible provided to make a meal. We found the 2 dishwashers was very handy with 10 of staying. Huge dining table so we could all sit down and enjoy our evening. The wine fridge was a nice touch aswell. Bedrooms and Bathroom All bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate, despite the house being full it was also very quiet while sleeping. Wasn't disturbed by friends who were up earlier than me. Outside Area Patio Area and Jacuzzi were perfect, the pagola over the jacuzzi kept the winds out and provided spectacular views for as far as the eye can see. Drive easily fit 5 big cars on, bins and recycling area provided. Surrounding Area Lovely walks nearby and friendly country pubs 1010

Emma was a brilliant host, we received a very warm welcome and were provided with complimentary items, such as croissants, bread,milk and juice which was very thoughtful. The house is stunning, the kitchen dining area was a fantastic space to socialise with the rest of the guests. The whole house is equipped for all needs two dishwashers! and plenty more. The house also includes a downstairs room with disabled access with a large walk in showerwet room. All rooms are furnished beautifully and the beddingpillows are such lovely quality. The whole house is immaculate with beautiful finishing, especially the barn gate hanging from the ceiling which was an amazing feature in the kitchen. As we were celebrating a 60th birthday, we found the location was great for a country getaway as well as a short taxi journey to Northallerton where we booked brunch at The Potting Shed. Overall the weekend was perfect and beyond our expectations, it is the nicest holiday home weve visited, definitely recommend this beautiful home!
Rachel

Debbie
Wow! Dont let the lack of reviews on this property put you off booking, this is a new property to the holiday let market and oh my word! What a property. It is finished to the highest standard, there is nothing lacking. The view out over the balcony is just stunning and the addition of the well maintained hot tub just tops the whole experience off. Well done Emma this is a credit to you!
Stayed with a group for my partners birthday, and we were all absolutely blown away by the place. It's huge, decorated beautifully and has everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances, everything was super clean and the host was really friendly and accomodating. The location is great, with a gorgeous view regardless of the weather. We're likely turning this into an annual visit, beautiful place.
