Lovely family weekend

This is the second time we have stayed at Humble Bees. My son and his family in Swallows Nest cottage and my husband and me in our caravan. We received a warm welcome, enjoyed the farmer visits and the natural countryside of the Wolds around us. Our granddaughters loved it and it is quickly becoming a special place for us all.

Wonderfully relaxing brilliant team here

Daily walks with our young retriever fresh air and so close to nature plenty of different breeds of birds including that elusive Barn Owl. The staff are so welcoming and friendly cannot stress enough how wonderful they are. The Hive bar and its staff are always happy to help. This is a great place to unwind from long days at the work place for my wife. The animals are fit and healthy and love being fed especially the two donkeys. Thank you Humble Bee Farm see you again soon xx

A brilliant farm holiday for the whole family

Some of the family stayed at Swallows Nest and some in a touring caravan. The staff from start to finish were excellent providing a warm and friendly reception,helpful cleaning staff and brilliant customer service. The farmer was really sweet with the children at animal feeding time. We loved being with the animals, enjoyed a drink in the bar and everyone thought the hot tub was perfect. It’s not the cheapest place to stay but did seem really special.
