Beech Farm Cottages have won the Yorkshire Holiday Cottage of the Year four times and they also have a “Green Tourism' award.

The cottages are set around a pretty courtyard and gardens backing onto open fields. Converted from Grade II listed stone buildings, they retain much of the original charm and character, with beams throughout. The interiors are superbly finished, furnished and equipped. The indoor heated swimming pool for the exclusive use of visitors to Beech Farm, has a sauna and spa. All the holiday cottages enjoy the shared use of a walled garden, sun terrace, paddock, children's play area, barbecue area and sheep, chickens and ducks in the field.
