Perfect little getaway
Went for two nights mid-week with my partner and our dog to celebrate my birthday. Lovely little well kept and decorated property. With nice touches like fresh eggs, milk, homemade cakes and fresh flowers when you arrive. Literally on a working farm with all of the hustle and bustle you would expect, but it still felt private, with great views over the fields. Well stocked kitchen, we cooked both nights we were there. Plenty of walking spots nearby and unrestricted use of the hot tub.

Nice get away
The cottage is lovely. However it felt as though the cleaning had been rushed. Lots of cobwebs and the bedroom carpet felt like it needed a really good vacuum. Also not a fan of not having a duvet.We booked an afternoon tea which was tasty. Felt as though the hot tub could have been warmer.

Snowy retreat
Had a great three night stay that culminated with waking up to almost a foot of snow on the morning of departure. Not only did the hosts clear the yard of snow, they helped push the car onto the paved area and then led us down the country road to make sure we could escape. They clean go above and beyond in all that they do. Thank you.

Enjoyed this lovely cottage.
Stayed Sunday to Friday and had an excellent short stay in Pig Garth, such a great find, peaceful, views, warm, cozy, well equipped and presented, couldn’t have asked for more and the little extra touches very much appreciated. We didn’t use the hot tub this time or have an afternoon tea so we will have to book again and look forward to doing that. Thank you so much, we really have had a lovely few days.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
I live and work here with Nicholas my husband and our son John who lives on our second farm at Blubberhouses and comes in everyday to work. We run a Dairy and sheep farm, farming just over 500 acres. In 2019 we installed 3 milking robots to milk our herd of 150 Holstein cows, we keep all the calves and rear them to 2 ears old when the males and continental breeds are sold on and all the females are kept for replacements in the dairy herd. We try to be as green as possible by growing as much of the fodder needed for winter here and harvesting it ourselves so keeping fuel use as low as possible. In 2012 we invested in a wind turbine to produce some electricity for the business and we also sell the excess back to the grid. Nicholas's mother's family moved here in 1932 after being moved of their farm to make away for a new reservoir. Mary Houseman was11 years old and came with her mother father and two older sister. In July 1945 Mary married George Houseman ( note she didn't have to change her surname) and they stay here and George worked together with Jesse his father in law to run the farm, taking over when Jesse retired. Nicholas grow up here with his older bother and sister and young brother and has worked here since leaving school.
In 1981 I married Nicholas and we lived at our other farm at Blubberhouses where we had our son John in 1988 and we moved here in 1999 after building a granny flat for Mary which is now the Old Calf Shed and we converted the Pig Garth in 2018. In 2020 we welcomed George our lockdown grandson and in 2021Lily completed the family.
This year we are having a change around and John and family are moving up here and Nicholas and myself are moving across the yard into one of the barns.

Why they chose this property

We converted the Pig Garth in 2018, it was a small building that consisted of 4 small boxes originally used for calves and lambs, but as the farm evolved it was no longer viable to use so was beginning to fall into disrepair, so it was decided to try and get planning to convert and we were very luck to be given permission to convert. I love the fact that though it is close to the house it is also very private and is a very calm and peaceful place to rest.

What makes this property unique

Although we have a wonderful rural location with stunning views and peace and tranquil atmosphere we are only about 5 miles from Otley, 6 miles from Harrogate. close to the railway for Leeds and York, and the Yorkshire Dale are a short ride away. For anyone who just wants to chill out we have many fabulous walks direct from the cottage, our if you are more energetic, Stainburn Forest that is behind us has some really good cycle tracks for all levels. We also enjoy showing any guests round the farm to watch the milking and help feed the calves. Whilst you are here why not treat yourselves to an afternoon tea served on vintage china and consisting of freshly made sandwiches, mini quiches and homemade scones and cakes or indulge in homemade chocolates.
