Whashton Springs Farmhouse B&B

Slightly off the beaten track, this farmhouse B&B offers a beautifully quiet night's sleep in a comfortable building, a cracking breakfast with eggs from the chickens (in earshot), and if you're lucky even a chance to meet their very own three-legged ginger tom, who is naturally the star of the show. 'Can't fault it.

I booked 2x courtyard rooms to stay in after dining at the amazing Forge restaurant on an estate off Scotch Corner. The ensuite rooms have been converted from farm buildings and are very tasteful with lots of extras (fridge, m/wave). Breakfast is in the main house where there are also rooms to let, which I believe are bigger and a little more expensive, although that is relative to the cost of the courtyard rooms which are exceptional value for money. Breakfast is in the main farmhouse and is as you’d expect… fabulous! We had a lot of poached eggs in our 7 days in N.Yorks and these from the farm’s chickens were the best. Jane, the host, is very friendly and is available for local info and recommendations. There is no card machine so bring cash or be prepared to do a bank transfer.

Lovely getaway in a farm setting

Good farm B&B Stay was pleasant and in stunning countryside. It is a working farm as advertised and Jane was busy lambing as well as hosting us! Breakfast was good and freshly cooked to order. Heating was a bit unpredictable and pillows were not the best, but bed was comfortable and room was clean. Only thing that was surprising was that you couldn’t pay with a credit or debit card - I have never come across that before.

This place is unreal a real old style farmhouse B & B, set in a stunning location which is so peaceful with rooms over looking the gardens with a large amount of wildlife. The whole place is spotless the rooms are comfortable big beds nice bathrooms and quality bedding and towels, Jane is a fantastic host and very kind and welcoming, the breakfast is for me the highlight real food cooked properly bacon and sausage of the best quality and eggs from their own chickens along with real fried bread was a thing not many places do any more but was fantastic. There is also a good selection of fresh fruit and plenty of tea, coffee and toast can’t wait to return

The visit was superb! The hosts were lovely - nothing was too much trouble and their son even helped to bump start our motorbike as the battery had drained! The setting and rooms are beautiful, idyllic and peaceful and the bed to die for! Breakfast was amazing and really sets you up for the day. The local town of Richmond has some wonderful bars and restaurants, particularly the Tapas. Lots of places to visit or walk to in the local area. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
