Fabulous property - Sleeps 6
This lovely single story property can sleep up to 6 people with the addition of a sofa bed in the lounge. The property is a lovely size for either a family holiday or a group of friends, looking to explore everything that both York and the wonderful Yorkshire countryside have to offer. You will have a lovely sized living area, a kitchen that has everything that you will need for holiday treats, two luxurious bedrooms, both of which can be set up as either twin beds or exceptionally comfortable Superking size beds. There are two bathrooms, one with a shower and the other with a bath and shower over. If this wasn't enough there is also a lovely outside area that has an outdoor sofa, dining table and chairs and a charcoal barbecue, all for your own private use.
The owners of Brecks Farm have finished these converted properties off beautifully, with the addition of the immaculately kept external areas, plenty of space for parking and the proximity of both the City of York and the Yorkshire countryside, we are sure you will be coming back!

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.
Really enjoyed our week, the property was superb. Very well appointed, spotlessly clean and in a very convenient location. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Overall a lovely experience

Perfect stay
Beautiful, clean, modern accommodation nestled in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Easy drive into York city centre. Fully furnished to a very high standard. Lots of space with excellent beds and showers. Tracey and Guy are very welcoming and accommodating.

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.

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.

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.

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.
