Sally and John Robinson welcome you to their family farm at Old Byland, here you will share a friendly and informal atmosphere situated in the beautiful surroundings of North Yorkshire. The views from the six cottages are stunning and far reaching over the grazing sheep across the Moors. Expect friendly, affordable accommodation for the discerning guest - Sally will welcome you with tea, homemade cakes and the local paper (please bring your own slippers).
4 Star Self Catering Accommodation - Valley View Farm Cottages have been inspected and rated by the British Tourist Board Quality In Tourism.
Each cottage has been lovingly restored and equipped for both comfort and practicality.
There are cosy open fires in each cottage to enjoy and in the Summer, what better way to finish the day then by sitting and relaxing on the large patio area and reflecting on the days activities, whilst the sun dips down over the moors.
There is plenty of off road parking and pets are all made welcome at Valley View - there is the option of a kennel for your dog/s for days when you want to enjoy a days shopping in York. If you want to avoid the shops Tesco's will deliver, however all your shopping requirements can be met at the local market towns of Helmsley and Thirsk.
