No resolution was sorted by the end of our stay and no one had come to clean up the mess or fix the heating. The bedrooms all look over the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and it was a novelty to watch the steam trains come into and leave the station through out the day. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and the bedding and towels were all supplied and again very nice. Once again, I called to report the dog excrement and the heating issue to which I was told "we'll inform the cleaning team" - that's it?! Nothing to say they'd come round to clean up immediately, just that they'd leave the large mess there until our stay is over.

Lots of the property can only be described as tired. It’s fair to say the photos on Airbnb are ‘flattering’. There are lots of maintenance issues needed – we’ve sent in a list of a few. What was particularly annoying is how difficult it is to get into any of the kitchen cupboards. The incredible open plan kitchen and living area is a sight to behold! With exposed beams, high sloped ceilings and beautiful glass doors, it has a very atmospheric feel. The kitchen area is modern and bright with a minimalist style. You’ll have everything you need for your stay as it is fully equipped with an oven, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle, microwave and toaster. There is even the added luxury of a coffee machine so you can enjoy a fresh, tasty coffee each morning. Parking is tight – we had three cars. Room for 2 small ones only; other cars have to park on the street, which is fine, but it’s up the hill and round the corner – approx. 300/400 metres away.

The included images are in the respective files for ease of navigation and relate to several identifiable areas of concern, namely: The design of the property is lovely and we loved the kitchen, and living area. It was spacious and comfortable, and nice to have Netflix etc on the telly.

Description says there’s a coffee maker – but it’s a Nespresso one, so unless you bring your own pods (which you wouldn’t know to do), then it’s useless. We went out and bought a cafetiere – this would be an easy fix for the owners to do! The nearest mainline railway station can be found 8 miles away in Malton with routes to Scarborough, Manchester and Liverpool amongst others. Open the doors and you’re on the terrace space, which has a glass railing around the edge. With outdoor seating, this spot is perfect for relaxing with friends and family. Below the terrace is the garden which is a lush green space. Location is great, overlooking the station. The original conversion from perhaps 20 years ago was excellent. The second bedroom is a sophisticated haven with calming neutral tones and pops of colours. It features a Super King bed and a seriously stylish en-suite with a huge walk in shower. The third bedroom has a luxury hotel feel, with a large window and comfy King bed. The fourth bedroom is a cosy space with quirky bunk beds and exposed beams on a sloped ceiling.The property is WOW from a design perspective, and comfortable, but definitely not luxurious. On balance, it’s overpriced and whilst it wasn’t awful, it definitely was not the luxurious experience we were expecting. It’s run as a business, and not by someone who loves it and wants you to have a home from home experience. But we enjoyed our weekend.
