we had a lovely stay it was a perfect base for exploring the area
Pros: fantastic location with countryside views, with a bonus of being able to walk our dog in the estate grounds. Very easy to get into nearby towns for any required supplies. Lovely cosy property very nicely decorated
Cons: As it was a very warm spell when we visited we quickly realised that many of the windows had been painted shut, such a shame for those lovely sash windows, so when it was warm or we were cooking there was no way of getting fresh air in or let cooking smells out (front door had to be kept open most of the time) The painting on the windows was really messy too much of it actually on the glass, which spoilt the look of the property as everything else was lovely. We like to leave a property as we find it there was a brush but no pan, could have also done with some oven gloves

Excellent
Pros: Location worked perfectly for us as we were attending an event at Bridge Inn Hotel, Having read other reviews I had some concerns over the condition of the property, but i didnt have to worry. It was spotlessly clean ( albeit there were a couple of cobwebs - but they can appear within minutes of a cleaner leaving ) There is some evidence of damp but given the age of the property and location was understandable Was very well equipped having everything you could need, was very comfy and warm
Cons: Slight smell in one bedroom, smelt of sweaty feet. Windows in kitchen would have benefitted from blinds

Lovely break away enjoyed the area and being in the countryside
Pros: Location in the countryside. Being able to walk in the grounds of Ripon Hall in farmlands.
Cons: One of the single beds was in a poor state, sunken squeaky and uncomfortable. The Roman blinds need the safety catch on the chains to prevent children from hurting themselves. Which I believe is the law? There were a lot of cobwebs and spiders. Finger prints all on the TV screen and window in the lounge uncleaned. The napkins and oven gloves that we didn’t use looked dirty. More traffic than expected going through the gate all the time, wanted a quiet break away from traffic.

Easter Weekend Family Break
Pros: Very clean. Lovely location inside the grounds of Ribston hall, easy to find with directions provided. Lots of footpaths on the doorstep of the property. Great for dog walks, runs and exploring the local area. Lots of wildlife, could hear the owls at night and saw deer from our window. Fields full of wee lambs was delightful. Lots of information on the local area provided. Food at the Bay Horse and Tickled Trout was amazing. Great that we could bring the dog with us too (£10 per day cleaning fee). Beautifully decorated property and very warm. Staff from Nightspace we're very responsive to questions. Well equipped kitchen for cooking dinners and breakfasts.
Cons: Close to A1 which is great for meeting family as easy to get to but can hear the road especially at night. A few little snagging issues to be fixed. Some garden furniture would be lovely to enjoy the garden and listen to the birds as the weather was great for our stay. Expensive compared to other places we have stayed that have provided lots of little extras such as basic cooking ingredients like salt and pepper or a welcome pack with essentials.

Lovely views!
Pros: Great location. Lovely and warm bedrooms. The views were amazing. We enjoyed watching the lovely playful horse out of the lounge windows.
Cons: The kitchen felt like we were in a different continent to the rest of the building! It is so cold in the kitchen, remember to pack slippers! Also, we arrived in the dark and the road to the gatehouse is riddled with potholes so drive carefully! Finally, arrival instructions were slightly wrong. None of this would put us off coming again!
