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.

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.

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.

My wife and myself stayed in Cow Kennels Cottage during the first week of September 2023. WE COULDN'T HAVE POSSIBLY MADE A BETTER CHOICE (of where to stay) THAN WE ACTUALLY DID. The cottage (and the other four nearby cottages, around Brecks Farm} was extremely modern, spacious, light, airy, well-thought-out, clean, tidy, and contained every possible comfort and convenience we could have hoped for. The group of five cottages (on Brecks Farm) are in a lovely, rural setting, but also very close to main-roads, very close to a huge Retail Park (for groceries, and most other types of shopping, and places to eat). It is also barely a mile away from one of the PARK & RIDE Bus-Stations, which take you into the centre of York, after only a short Bus Ride.
When we originally arrived at the cottage, we were EXTREMELY FORTUNATE to meet Guy (the owner) and some members of his family. Over the following days, we met him again several times, and also got to meet his wife, Tracey, and his two sons, and other extended family. They are all extremely friendly, helpful, and usually close at hand, if anyone needed any information or help during their stay. I would like to think that we could, maybe, call Guy, Tracey (and the rest of the family} "Our Friends". - - - My wife and myself will MOST CERTAINLY be returning to Cow Kennels Cottage, sometime in the near future, for another EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE stay.

Another good stay at these cottages. They are ideally placed in close proximity to York and other attractions in Yorkshire.
They have pretty much everything you need to make it a home from home.
Would recommend.

We found the accommodation ideal for my wife and I and her parents. It was spotlessly and the welcome pack was much appreciated.
The owners are lovely and couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay more enjoyable.
We will be definitely be back.

This cottage was amazing. We also booked another cottage for other family members which worked really well.
Clean, comfortable, spacious, and really well equipped. Guy and Tracey were very friendly and helpful too.
I'd highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

The cow kennel is stunning. The service is great and the views are spectacular. Was a home away from home for our wedding party.

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.
