This was a lovely property to stay in, for a much needed rest. A perfect balance between quiet and being near lots of local facilities.The hosts were very welcoming and the property excellent and well equipped for a family of 6.
The Granary at Waterhall Farm is one of a small group of holiday cottages on this brilliant complex at Sutton near Thirsk. Myself, my wife & 2 friends had a fantastic relaxing 3 nights at this place. Edward the owner, Sarah the complex Manager & James the ever helpful, hard working farmer were always on hand with a cheery word or to help with information required.
