About Summerfield Farm Holiday Cottage
Summerfield Holiday Cottage is a stone built cottage, which sleeps 4-5. It is situated on a small, family run, working farm in a peaceful and rural setting. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring the countless delights of North Yorkshire. It is situated in open countryside between the picturesque North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills (National Landscape). Nunnington Hall and Rievaulx Terrace are National Trust properties located within a few miles of the cottage. Both the historic city of York and the East Coast, with its lovely beaches and traditional seaside towns, are within easy travelling distance. The pretty village of Harome is half a mile away and Helmsley, a popular market town with impressive castle (English Heritage), traditional tearooms, country pubs, charming shops and open air swimming pool, is only 4 miles away. With an open log fire, traditional features throughout and enclosed garden, it is a perfect retreat at any time of the year. Summerfield Farm is a small traditional working farm growing barley, wheat and potatoes. We also keep a flock of sheep and a small number of hens. The farm is a family run business and has belonged to the family since the 1920's. The farm is participating in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme which encourages wildlife and birds. Wildlife has benefitted from increased grass margins around the fields. At the last count by the RSPB there were 58 different species of birds. Guests are welcome to enjoy a stroll around the farm and to the pond and trout stream (River Riccal) situated on the farm.
