Ploughman's Rigg Reviews

Ashley
Perfect in every way. Spotlessly clean, spacious, lovely views & great location. Ploughman's Rigg accommodates 7 people very comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The extra fridge was particularly handy. Beds and huge sofa were very comfy. We would love to return and bring our dog next time.
We had a wonderful week away, made all the better by staying in this lovely property. The location, views and quality within the property were fantastic and we will look to return again. The welcome basket and card from the owners were a nice touch.
Michael
The cottage was lovely. Spacious, charming and in a spectacular location.
What a wee gem, with beautiful features from the original building incorporated. Downstairs is one really large room incorporating the kitchen, large dining area and relaxing lounge. A wonderful space allowing us to be together, doing our own things, especially when I am cooking an evening meal. The views from the lounge are gorgeous overlooking the fields and countryside. The kitchen has been really well equipped allowing you to cook from scratch with plenty of pots, pans, crockery, etc, including a weighing scales! Full instructions on how to use all appliances are provided. Recycling and food waste bin are a big thing with well labelled bins outside. Three lovely large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. Plenty of towels provided and really comfy beds. Wonderful, relaxing stay and there's a pub in easy walking distance, what more can you ask for. Thanks again
We have had a lovely week at Ploughmans Rigg. The property was very well equipped and extremely clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable and it was good to have a bathroom ensuite with each bedroom. There is one thing that I think would be useful is a handrail up to the building as the steps are quite steep at the Ploughmans Rigg end. I am disabled with arthritis and it would have been very useful to have a handrail to help me with navigating the steps and Im sure others would find it useful too. This is not a complaint but an observation as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Michael
Our stay at Ploughman's Rigg was fantastic, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a holiday in the area. Being only 15 minutes from Harrogate makes it the perfect destination. The property is by far the best we have ever stayed in and the owners were so welcoming. I have given it a 5 star rating but it is worthy of 6 stars. We will definitely be returning.
We were a group of three couples and one child and the accommodation was perfect for our requirements. Friendly owners who live nearby and walks straight from the door. Great accommodation and very clean. Cant fault it at all.
Jonathan
Beautiful accomodation and setting. The owners were very welcoming. Well situated between three villages with amenities, all within walking distance. I would recommend this property.
Ploughman's Rigg is a wonderful cottage in an excellent location. We have holidayed in many country cottages and stayed in none better.
As a family with small children we loved Ploughmans Rigg. It offered us everything we needed, from peace and quiet, beautiful countryside, comfort, and space. It is appointed to a high level and appreciation to detail. Stunning views, and a perfect place to relax. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts who were so friendly and generous. We will hopefully return soon. With thanks to Tim and Carol
Debbie
Soo peaceful n relaxing, just what was needed
Very nice accommodation, easily housed 6 adults and a child. Very clean and a practical living space. The bay window provided great country views and it was an easy commute to visit places like Harrogate and Wetherby, both only 15 min away. There were places to walk from the house but we did not have opportunity to explore these. For local eating places we had a good lunch at the Castle Inn, Spofforth.
Raymond
Absolutely fabulous accommodation which was well equipped and very comfortable. Very large open plan kitchen and lounge space which was lovely and warm. Great location for walking to nearby villages and beyond or visiting the local area by car. Would definitely highly recommend.
An absolutely perfect cottage for us to celebrate an early family Christmas. It is a clean, modern, well equipped & spacious Cottage. Great Country views & plenty of parking. We were left a nice welcome pack of milk, wine & fruit. This was our second stay at this group of farm cottages 3. We have already booked for next year.
Magdalen
A fantastic property the best one we have been to yet. Cannot fault it in anyway. Beautiful,clean , comfortable, perfect. The welcome basket was also great the owners even catered for me, I am gluten free which was very thoughtful of them . We couldn't have asked for more. The very large TV was enjoyed especially by my nephew. We hope to visit the property again on the future. Thank you to the owners for such a great property.
A stunning home in a peaceful location. Well equipt with everything you need. The owners are very friendly and welcoming
Philip
Had a long weekend here at ploughman's rigg with family and friends and we will be back, what an amazing place it is, beautiful and quiet, clean, spacious, everything you would need except the hob that didn't work on full when using more than 1 sure that will be replaced next time but there was a seperate single hob we could use. Nice friendly owner was chatty and informative, lovely local walks, we all highly recommend this accommodation.
Samantha
Ploughmans Rigg was easily one of the best accommodations weve stayed in. It was perfect for our family of four, with each bedroom featuring its own ensuitea real bonus, especially with our children now young adults. The property served as a wonderful base for exploring local attractions and truly felt like a home away from home. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, including a generous and muchappreciated welcome hamper. The accommodation was clean, tidy, and full of character, with a distant view of York visible through the patio doors. Theres even a telescope, allowing you to spot York Minster in the distance. The property owner was a lovely and helpful lady who made our stay even more enjoyable. Honestly, I would happily live at Ploughman's Rigg.
Our second visit to Ploughman's Rigg. The location is peaceful but also has so much to see and do in the area and nice walks too. Very comfortable house with everything we could need. Hopefully we'll return for another visit
Stephen
The accommodation here is absolutely amazing. All the facilities are first class. We had a fantastic week here and loved the remoteness of it as it was so peaceful. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay here again.
Michael
What a lovely place beautifully converted and luxuriously appointed. Peaceful and quiet, away from public roads ... quite excellent. The owners advised taking care on the access road and with five adults in the car, I kept to first gear and did not have any problems
Nicola
A lovely, very wellappointed property, with great attention to detail. It had everything we needed for our stay and we really appreciated the generous welcome pack. It was in a great location, and the ability to be able to walk from the cottage into Spofforth was an added bonus.
Jonathan
Everything was perfect couldn't nitpick anything! Lovely house with great views very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was very thoughtful and left a lovely basket of treats, as well as basics for the fridge. We'll definitely be back for a week next time!
Beautiful property. Spotlessly clean. Amazing welcome pack inc homemade cakes. Extremely well equipped. Everything you could need is there. Even down to hand wash and boxes of tissues. Dishwasher tablets, washing liquid for the washing machine it was all provided. Plenty of parking. Lovely views from the property. Telescope on tripod is there too !! Outdoor seating front and rear. 10 out of 10. It couldnt have been better. Thankyou to the owners.
Kellie
We had a fantastic stay at Ploughmans rigg. The accommodation is absolutely stunning and had everything you could possibly think of. The hosts were extremely accommodating and provided many extra little touches to make us feel so welcome and at home. We could have stayed longer! The location is stunning and peaceful
Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and the standard of the bedrooms and bathrooms was like staying in a hotel. The kitchen is very well equipped and no need to worry about packing dishwasher tablets or washing up liquid as these were provided along with soap in each bathroom and plenty of towels. Had a lovely meal at the Crown in Spofforth which can be reached by footpath. Found a big Sainsburys Wetherby Rd, Harrogate to stock up for the week. Enjoyed trips to Skipton, Knaresborough and of course York.
What an excellent place to stay, large basket of goodies to welcome us into Ploughmans Rigg, everything we needed for our stay, well stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable lounge with enormous television. The upper floor is of the same standard as the ground floor, bedroom 3 with it's extremly large superking size bed, could get 4 people in it! The views from all the windows of the fields & surrounding country side, the only noise was the sheep in the field. Excellent location for visiting Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey & Knaresborough. Track to the accommodation needs a bit of attention.
We stayed at Ploughmans Rigg for 3 nights at the end on May this year. It was exceptionally well presented, very clean, lovely bedding and towels and importantly all the kitchen equipment and utensils you would ever need. We also really loved the green credentials for all the cottages including 2 EV chargers which we also used. Lovely location from which you can explore north Leeds, Harrogate and Wetherby. We walked into Spofforth to see the castle which was only a short walk long a lovely countryside footpath. Highly recommend for a family break in fabulous countryside.
Christine
Excellent stay at Ploughmans Rigg cottage. Every piece of equipment you will ever need is on hand and the instructions for equipmentoven heating invaluable. Warm welcome on arrival by the owners and the welcome basket with delicious scones along with bread and milk was very much appreciated by all of us. Cottage was immaculate and very comfortable and the on suite for each bedroom was appreciated by all. The view from Ploughmans Rigg is exceptional and the telescope allowed us to see further. Enjoyed the walk into the village and exploring the surrounding countryside with our dogs. Would not hesitate in booking again.
Beautiful cottage and very accommodating highly highly recommend !
Jessica
We had a wonderful time in Ploughman's Rigg. The cottage was superbly well equipped particularly the kitchen. The beds were fantastically comfortable and the cottage was wonderfully clean. We really appreciated the helpful welcome pack, which had an excellent walk to Spofforth. The views from the cottage were just fabulous. All in all a great place to stay.
Eileen
Spotless, immaculate, all the latest kitchen gadgets. In a beautiful quiet area surrounded by fields. A beautiful property that the owner takes great care of and adds personal touches. The welcome pack was so generous and filled with bread, milk, M&S shortbread, coffee, bottle of wine, sandwich cake. The owner even left a balloon
We honestly could not have asked for a better stay the house was perfect for our family of 5 adults, two small children and one big dog it was perfectly set up with each bedroom having its own bathroom and a huge open plan kitchendiningliving area. The property was very well equipped and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Some fabulous walks close by. We will most definitely be back
