Truly a lovely spot. our room looked out over a field of sheep, could not ask for a better view. Warm welcome on arrival. We stayed in the bed and breakfast part, there are Self Catering units as well. The breakfast should last all day... Whole heartedly recommend this accommodation.

Just home from yet another fantastic stay at Mains of Taymouth. It just never lets us down, year after year we have enjoyed a fantastic family holiday, and only a cars drive away. The properties are all high end and the staff are just fantastic, nothing, and I mean nothing is too much trouble. We were welcomed again by the friendly staff at the reception (they remembered us!), the other staff we came across when out walking the dog were all friendly and chatty too, there is such a nice family feeling there. It is our go-to holiday place, a short drive away to another world!! Can’t recommend enough!

Gem of a place

Reviewed By karenlY9484JJ

What a great venue for a holiday in and around the north yorkshire moors /heartbeat area.Graham and Kirsty have thought of everything to make these cottages a home away from home ,you needed to take nothing but yourselves and of course food but the cottage had everything else and you even got a welcome cake to settle you in.The facilities on site were great our 6 yr old grandson loved the well stocked playroom,and had to be prised out of it so we could go out.There was a table tennis table under cover and a trampoline ,swing, tractor den and slide and a football area with goalposts in the outdoor play area all of which were equally as popular. There is also an indoor pool with an integral jaccuzzi and,sauna and each cottage was allotted a private 1 hr slot each day or there were open sessions available.equally enjoyable was the animal feeding sessions on a morning ,after feeding the sheep and goats outdoor you could then feed and pet the rabbits and guinea pigs,dont know who loved this more our grandson or his mum!!! All in all a brilliant holiday for all ages thanks again kirsty and graham and all the staff

Fabulous weekend away here

Reviewed By Sue J

This was our first visit to Broadgate - an extended family weekend away. We were all delighted by the standard of the accommodation and the lovely countryside it is in. Walkington village, about 20 mins walk away, boasts 3 pubs - perfect for a walk and refreshments. Beverley a few miles away is a delightful small market town with a very good selection of shops/cafes and Saturday market. Further afield in Hull, there are lots of museums and a fabulous aquarium, where we spent a very enjoyable 2 hours. The houses themselves are very well equipped with luxurious bedding and towels, extremely well resourced kitchens and quality furnishings. It really is so nice to stay somewhere with this level of consideration to comfort and attention to detail. Many thanks Elaine.

Puffin View in Amble is superb booked through coquet cottages

Reviewed By Pamela J

Immaculate, extremely well provided with high quality furnishing, equipment, crockery, everything one could need. Ideally situated on quiet road overlooking dunes and sea, but an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Great base to explore Northumberland coast. We were just 2friends who enjoyed our spacious en-suite bedrooms, but we could see how well this would work for 3 couples or a multi-generational group. Two sitting rooms would allow for separation at times. Sheltered rear garden is quite a suntrap. We had dinner outside on two of the long evenings. Lovely welcome hamper was the finishing touch.

8 Self catering cottages with private hot tubs and an on-site children's farm with daily animal feeding activities. Autism Friendly.

Wonderful Family Friendly Holiday

Reviewed By Jon H

North Hayne Farm is a wonderful place to switch off and focus on family. Plenty for the little ones to be entertained with, animal feeds, exploring, a games room, plenty to stimulate them - definitely a place that goes the extra mile. Plenty for the bigger ones too, wonderfully clean and comfortable accommodation. We stayed in Jeremy Fisher, as well as being spacious and with everything you could require it was accessible and the hot tub was a delightful treat. The reviews on here speak for themselves - we had planned to visit surrounding places of interest but it was so nice at North Hayne Farm that we only made it out once!
