A great find for our overnight stay. The room was huge with a nice en suite and the bed very comfy. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was very tasty. The accommodation is part of a working farm but was very peaceful and it was surrounded by stunning scenery. Finally a thank you to Jane for the warm welcome and hospitality and a special mention for Fergus the very friendly cat.

Stay at Whashton
I enjoyed my stay at Whashton Farm very much. I live in London and the country setting was just what I needed. The surroundings were beautiful and it was quiet. The air was clear. It was close to places of interest to me and I had lots to do in Richmond and further afield. The walks were fine and I enjoyed my tour of the Georgian Theatre in Richmond, as I go to the theatre often in London.

The rooms are spacious, warm and dry and well furnished. The farmhouse is charming and set in beautiful scenery. The breakfast was from local farm produce and perfectly cooked, and I mean perfect. Last but not least, the owner could not be more helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this place.

Everything I needed to set me up for a great day at work. Clean, comfortable room, solid and tasty breakfast. Quiet, peaceful and very well appointed room with en suite. Based on a busy and active farm, surrounded by countryside, a few minutes from Richmond.

Lovely weekend
Jane was very welcoming. The accommodation was very clean and well presented. The farm was in a lovely location and we were very happy with everything. The breakfast was lovely and all of the staff very friendly too. We watched the birds and a woodpecker each morning in the garden whilst having breakfast. Would highly recommend.

One for the ‘Will Return’ book!
This is an absolute gem of a find! From the genuinely warm welcome beautifully furnished room with every need catered for - thank goodness for the ironing board, hair dryer and extra large brolly! - through to farm cooked breakfasts with freshly picked rhubarb and a view of the woodpeckers on the bird feeder, EVERYTHING was faultless! Apologies for gushing, but having stayed at distinctly average B&B’s this stands head and shoulders above the rest. All staff are helpful, friendly, happy to go the extra mile and the chef is worthy of praise - this is someone who knows how to cook!! The rooms are set in an old steading, full of character but with all modern facilities. My bathroom was immaculate, water was instant and hot and the shower was powerful enough for me. Bed linen and towels are luxurious and someone has a great eye for detail as interior decoration is above and beyond the usual. I appreciated the ultra quiet nights, apart from the occasional owl hooting, and arrived after vacating an unacceptably noisy hotel. I’m so glad I did! Location is super, easy access to Richmond and the A66 and a short drive to the A1 however here you can take a breath of stunning countryside, look out over hills and open fields, eat farm-laid eggs for breakfast served with local sausages and totally relax. Teesdale, the Dales and all that North Yorkshire has to offer is a mere hop away. This is a B&B where someone has got it absolutely right! Well done and a very grateful thank you!

Highly recommended Farmhouse B&B
Jane was the perfect host. Very welcoming and made us feel at home. The room was a really good size and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was amazing with the best poached eggs! A lovely place to stay about a 7 minute drive to Richmond. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again if we return to the Yorkshire Dales.

So peaceful, clean and comfortable. Lovely staff and fabulous breakfast. Also, the most gorgeous friendly cat!! No phone reception (at least on our network)…which I count as a good thing. The WiFi was superb though.

First Nights in Yorkshire!!
We were looking forward to our first stay in Yorkshire and so went for a Deluxe King Room on Suite. Unfortunately we were surprised that the room was a little tired regards furniture (Wardrobes, Chair and Table being damaged and in disrepair). And completely dumbfounded that there was no serviceable shower at hand in the bathroom. Only a bath that took 45 minutes to fill, a Toilet seat that was broken, and basin tap loose. A small ironing board but no iron to use on it. Room was not service regarding clean linen or towels during our stay even though all Covid restrictions had been lifted in the UK. Jane's efforts at providing a really good Full English Breakfast every morning, together with the outlook over the rear garden from our room was almost a redeeming feature. But I cannot forgive or forget not have a serviceable bathroom in our room for our 2 nights stay. Not so Deluxe!!

Nice B&B
Overall our stay was good. The accommodation was excellent, especially with the provision of two rooms in the family suite which meant a great night sleep for us and our daughter. However, on arrival the entire house, accommodation and farm yard were in total darkness with no-one to meet us despite agreeing our arrival time. A note was left on the guest entrance door, however, this was not visible as there was no light. As stated despite this issue on arrival the overall stay was good with excellent breakfast.

Golf trip
Very warm friendly welcome. Room with door directly into the courtyard was really good, no stairs etc to navigate with our golf clubs and luggage. The room was just what we wanted, clean and comfortable and there was a good shower. The full English breakfast was delicious. Short and easy drive into Richmond for evening meal and close to golf course. Excellent B and B
