Excellent accommodation and location.

We stayed at Cow Kennels for a long weekend. The accommodation was excellent, as was the location. Great place for the dog, with plenty of options to walk locally. Very close to and easy to access York. Guy and Tracey were fabulous hosts; their personal touch made such a difference.

A very luxurious, clean, well equipped holiday cottage . We particularly like the open fire. We have stayed in many holiday cottages across the uk and this is one of the best.

Xmas stay

We had an amazing stay at Brecks Farm in The Cow Kennel, whilst visiting York for the Xmas market. The accommodation was spotless and warm, the beds comfortable and the kitchen well kitted out. There was even a Xmas tree set up. The drive into York was 10 mins and we found no issue with parking however if you prefer the park and ride is only a short drive away.

Excellent accommodation - but you need a car

We have stayed at Brecks Farm before, and found the accommodation just as comfortable and well-equipped as previously. It is a lovely quiet place just outside the outer ring road, so convenient for travelling to other places around York and Yorkshire and no parking problems. However, to get to York city, you need to drive in (15 mins plus usual traffic jam), or drive to Rawcliffe Bar Park and Ride (5-10 min drive) and get the free bus. There is a bus outside the farm but it's not very frequent. It is about 5 minutes drive to Clifton Moor retail park where you will find a huge Tesco for all your catering requirements, plus restaurants, home retail chains, bowling alley, cinema. The hosts appear to have thought of everything you might need in equipping the cottages and each one has a delightful garden patio area with barbecue and outdoor furniture. They are set within a lovely rural area overlooking a pond and fields. A beautiful retreat from the hustle and bustle of York city centre. The farm is served by York taxi firms and takeaway/delivery restaurants.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cow Kennels

We had a fantastic short break staying at Brecks Farm. The accommodation was exceptional and beautifully finished. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay with owners who were friendly and responsive. We will certainly be returning soon.

Return visit

The cottage provides quality accommodation with furnishings and fittings to a high standard. The rooms are spacious and immaculately presented with the hosts providing everything you might possibly need. The outdoor lawn and patio areas are generous in size with views over the duck pond and access to a lovely walk around the large wildflower meadow. Well placed for visits to York and the surrounding areas, welcoming and friendly hosts, this is the best of the many places we have stayed in over the years.

Ideallic!

We stayed for 4 days with my elderly mum and were really impressed. The property is very well located to explore Yorkshire and there are plenty of places to eat nearby. The bungalow was clean, well-equipped and had a lovely outdoor seating area, it was a real home from home. Guy and his family were friendly and helpful, without being intrusive, and it was lovely to see the owls feeding at dusk.

The cow kennel is stunning. The service is great and the views are spectacular. Was a home away from home for our wedding party.

Perfect cottage for a family holiday

What a fantastic cottage! Beautifully decorated with the best kitchen supplies I've ever known in self-catering accommodation. Shame there's no pavement to the bus stop (or the lovely cafe next door), but that didn't stop us exploring. I'm looking forward to the new washing machine "cupboard" soon too. Thanks for everything Guy and Tracey.
