Flanders Hall, West Burton

A lovely building and all the lounges were beautifully presented. We did find a slight shortage of forks for the amount of people and accounting for the dishwasher which didn't clean as effectively as expected, and with no draining board made washing up a bigger task than hoped. Beds were comfortable and the heatingwater was easy to set and keep warm. Felt being given owners bank details upfront for any broken glasses etc was a bit off putting, especially with the price paid. Nothing such as teasugaroil provided which is fine, but meant us buying more than we really needed. We've stayed various places as a group before and it's always lovely to be left such things so you can have a cuppa whilst you settle in and wait for the tesco delivery! Otherwise, a well presented house and would consider staying again, especially if more than the very bare minimum was provided in regards to the kitchenbinstoilet roll situation. A lovely area with some lovely walks and imagine the gardens are a delight in the summer.

We had a fantastic family stay at Flanders Hall. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful Yorkshire countryside and offering a real sense of peace and space. The house itself is spacious, full of character, and finished to a great standard both grand and welcoming at the same time. We especially loved the grand piano, which made our evenings together even more special. A wonderful place for a memorable family break highly recommended.

Another great family holiday at Flanders. Three generations all cooking, eating and playing games together. Like stepping back in time to a slower pace of life. We will be back.

FH suited our multigenerational family of 6 adults, 5 children 10 months to 6 years and a dog extremely well, with plenty of space for everyone. The large, wellstocked playroom and the garden were big hits with the young. Because of our profile, we could have done with another shower and loo to ease the pressure at busy times, but we managed and washbasins in all the rooms were a definite bonus and we were fully aware of the limits when booking. When we had a problem with a bed, the owner organised its repair quickly, and also responded promptly and helpfully to previsit queries and requests. We would certainly consider rebooking and would recommend to others.

We had a great week at Flanders Hall. A truly amazing place. It was extremely spacious for the 12 adults staying ranging from 25 to 94!. There is so much to do in the local area and plenty of great walks from the house too. The grand piona was used for an impromptu concert. The weather was amazing which made the week.

We had a fantastic long weekend at Flander's Hall. Even better than described.

A character grade II listed Hall with authentic bedrooms and lounge areas. A rustic feel to the place which was great with the aga and open fire. One shower between 10 of required a rota . Having paid nearly 1800 for 2 nights we felt it was a bit tight asking us to pay 60p for each log we burnt.

Fabulous property in a beautiful location for a family weekend . . 9 adults 3 children and the dogs

Lovely comfortable old house full of charm and character in a great location. The working Aga was a lovely additon to the warm and cosy kitchen. Grand children loved exploring the house, especially the play room with its trunks of traditional toys. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the property.

We found the kitchen was too warm to leave the dog in the kitchen as was suggested so his cage was put in the corridor. Bathroom facilities we thought were inadequate for a party of twelve.

We had a great time staying at Flanders Hall 8 adults and 3 children. We loved the old fashioned charm of the house,' you could almost imagine being in a Bronte novel, and the views are outstanding. The house is well equipped for cooking and there are lots of toysgames in the Playroom. There is only one shower and one bath in separate rooms so we needed a rota for the morning but that is manageable, and there was lots of hot water. Some others have pointed out the quirks and oddities of the house but that is the nature of an old house. West Burton must be one of the most beautiful villages in the country and the butcher there is amazing. Places to visit locally, that we would recommend, are Aysgarth Falls 40 minute walk, Bolton Castle and the Forbidden Corner amazing even if you do not have children. Hawes and the Wensleydale Creamery are also worth a visit but I would avoid the restaurant at the creamery as the service is very slow. There are also many beautiful walks close to the house.

This is from a few different people 1 nice house and grounds good for kids with toys in cupboards and space outside the pennypinching about logs and charging cars etc is out of keeping with the luxury price of the property should have some recycling on site or owners deal with it guests don't want to drive around looking for recycling bins 2 It is a beautiful old house in a delightful area. Kids loved it. Thanks for finding & booking it D&A, and C&S for paying for most if it! 3 Excellent location, big house with big garden, lovely period details, and warm underfloor heating under the kitchen flagstones is lovely. Plus points are big rooms and comfortable beds, super books and games and the great Aga, butplease provide a decent microwave. And, when one has paid over 2000 for 3 nights, and discovered the limitations of the only shower, and that only 2 people can get a good view of the only TV, it strikes a bum note to be charged 60p per log and 4.50 for kindling we brought our own. How about providing enough logs for a couple of nights but charging for extra? Xxx 4 They specifically ask for feedback to help make improvements, so .... in addition to everyone elses comments they need to buy a replacement microwave and relocate it its completely unacceptable to have an old microwave, without any instructions, at floor level, so you need to kneel or lie on the floor to try to work out how to use it they need to buy replacement and far more cutlery from, say, John Lewis, rather then the oldcharity shop stuff thats there, and keep it in easily accessible drawers, not ones which are very difficult to openshut and most importantly, they need to remove the childs stool from the kitchenhouse, it is a serious accident waiting to happen with a stone kitchen floor by a sheer fluke we narrowly avoided having to take a young child to A&E with a serious head injury.

Wonderful old hall , in beautiful setting comfortable and homely only ... Wonderful old hall , in beautiful setting comfortable and homely only downside directions signage could be better especially when arriving at dusk in the dark

We had a wonderful stay at Flanders Hall it was spacious, comfortable and in such a glorious setting. We enjoyed the gardens and grounds and the marvellous views. The kitchendining room is a fantastic sociable space and all the bedrooms are a generous size. We would warmly recommend it for gatherings of family or friends.

We found Flanders Hall very comfortable and a delightful place to stay. It had real character and the surrounding gardens and countryside made it feel like we were really getting away from it all. We would be very happy to return. If us a real gem.

Thank you for hosting our group, really enjoyed Flanders Hall. It's a lovely location with a pretty garden that's private. Beds and linen are comfortable. Plenty of space in the house for a large group, shame there are only 2 bathrooms! My brother commented that in the main bathroom the pull handle is too heavy for the old cistern.

We had an enjoyable stay at Flander's Hall. Lovely roomy house for a large party. It was in a lovely setting near to West Burton.The beds were comfortable. Another shower would have been useful when there are a lot of people. The gardens are beautiful. If the weather had been better a bigger outside table and chairs would have been needed to eat outside.

Fabulous property and location. We were 8 adults and 4 children, lots of grounds for the children to run around, lovely garden fire pit for evening drinks. Stunning scenery, enjoyed by all.

Flanders Hall is a truly beautiful and quirky property. We had a long weekend here to celebrate a big birthday, twelve people in total. The house is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is stunning with walks straight from the front door and views for miles. Great for wildlife spotting barn owls and herons amongst some our party saw. Really comfortable beds. We used both the log burner and open fire during our stay, but it was December. Great communication from the owners and help when we were struggling to find the property in the dark! This is such a special place we hope to return in the future. You will need to factor in sufficient time at the end of your stay to get the property ready for leaving as requested by the owners it took four of us probably 23 hours to strip the beds, empty bins, tidy, wash up, put away and pack.

This is a very special house in an incredible location. Walden beck runs through the beautiful enclosed garden. The kitchen is a fantastic space for large family feasts and the many generous living spaces mean you can escape if you need to. The rooms are full of character and beautiful furniture. There are brilliant walks on your doorstep and plenty of waterfalls to visit. We had deep snow and beautiful night skies. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful family gathering at Flanders Hall with all the space and facilities we needed for 11 of us. The decor was an amazing mix of antique and modern. Beds were very comfortable with super king beds in 3 of the large bedrooms, The grounds were great for family games. All within walking distance of the beautiful village of West Bradford, and 2 miles from Aysgarth Falls. We're looking forward to our next visit.

A gorgeous historic Hall that we loved spending the weekend in. It was great to be able to host 12 of us in one house. Good instructions, comfy beds and a good range of equipment. The house is set in beautiful grounds. Lovely to have games and dvds to hand for rainy days and real fires in all 3 lounges.

This was our first family holiday since the pandemic and the house was perfect for us. Full family from grandparents to grandchildren and the house suited everyone. Lots of equipment in the kitchen for preparing big family meals and an aga that kept the place toasty warm. This is a country house so yes there were cobwebs but overall cleanliness was good. The grounds were private and beautiful and we had a bonfire. All rooms have log fires so.perfect for an autumn winter retreat. We had 2 electric cars and recharged from an outhouse socket as we had brought an extension. Beds were comfortable with high quality bedding and bathrooms were good. Plumbing was a little gurgley and one more shower would have been perfect for us but for a house of its age the facilities were very stylish. Overall fab place to stay and relax in the house and grounds or explore the local area. I'm expecting to book again if I can find a vacancy as its super popular!

We had a wonderful short break in this fabulous house. Both the house and gardens are perfect for a family or mixed group as there is plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing. Also great for dogs, our two loved it, especially being able to go in the stream directly from the garden. We spent most of our time in the large cosy kitchen where the aga was permanently on. The house is beautiful but also has a lived in family feel to it. Would definitely recommend. There are also lots of walks directly from your doorstep.

The kitchen was well appointed with the Aga making the room lovely and cosy and plenty of room at the very long table for us all to eat together. 3 lounges allowed us to spread out Beds were comfortable Nice large fluffy towels wood burner in the one lounge made it very cosy The children loved the garden but would have like to have paddled in the Beck which we could not get to. Plenty of parking room under the trees so the cars kept cool.

The property could have been lovely but it was very very dirty and not at all ... The property could have been lovely but it was very very dirty and not at all suitable for letting out as a holiday let in this condition

The kitchen had absolutely everything we could have possibly needed. And we had really great communication with our hsot over the weekend really responsive and checking in to make sure we were settled.

The house was huge and exactly the space we needed for a big family with dogs so we had a great time. The beds and towels were clean but the only thing I would say is the house felt like it needed a good clean. It's a big old house so we didn't expect it to be shiny but there were big cobwebs hanging from the ceilings and dead spiders in the corners in some rooms. It's a great location for some lovely walks, cooking on the aga was amazing, we had a supermarket delivery the day we arrived so it worked out perfectly. We did walk to the local pub in West Burton one day and ate there which I would not recommend, the food was awful. Overall we had a fantastic weekend!

We had an extended family gathering at Flanders Hall to celebrate a 21st birthday and spend some time together. The accommodation is spacious and very well provided for with all the amenities one would expect in a traditional farmhouse. The house is a fascinating time capsule of family history and the extensive library reflects an interesting range of interests including wildlife, the local area and enough fiction writing to keep a student of English literature happy for years! The grand piano in the main sitting room was an enjoyable distraction and far enough away from the rest of the house not to be a nuisance to everyone else! The kitchen is amply stocked with all the utensils needed for cooking and the lpg gasfired AGA heats the water and complements the electric cooker. The dishwasher was easy to operate and reduced the chore of washing up to a minimum.The bedrooms with their shutters and lovely old washbasins were very pleasant, bed linen was spotless and the beds very comfortable. The children loved discovering the toys in the playroom including the drum kit! and had great fun on the rope swing in the garden! One of our party spotted a red squirrel in the grounds. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and the owners have thoughtfully provided good quality maps of the local area. In addition to walking into West Burton to let the children play on the swings, we visited Hawes, the Wensleydale Creamery free samples of cheese!, Aysgarth falls, Leyburn, Richmond, Barnard Castle and even ventured as far as Harrogate and the RHS Gardens at Harlow Carr where we sampled the delights of Betty's Tearoom! We would recommend Flanders Hall as a great, relaxing place to stay with loads of room for a larger party and all home comforts. We'd love to come back someday!

We brought a group of French cyclists to see the beauty of Yorkshire and the gte enhanced the experience the house, gardens and setting were perfect. The house is beautiful, the beds really comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and lovely and warm after occasional wet rides. The plumbing could be interesting, but it didn't detract from our enjoyment. I just wish I'd had a bit of time to read some of the hundreds of books! I would definitely recommend this and would happily go back again.

Really nice property. Some niggles but more than balanced by the ambiance

A lovely place for a large group, the kitchen is a delight. Very dog friendle and best of all lots of walks straight from the house

Brilliant weather helped make this an amazing weekend. The scenery and waterfalls nearby were fantastic. We never put television on all weekend.

Cottage was in a nice location and the cottage itself was ok. I know it was old and traditional but could do with a little updating and the toilet facilities could be improved, i.e. The two main toilets did not flush very well and the shower wet room, the drainage could be improved on and the toilet bench in the same room does not go together. Apart from these issues the cottage was ok if you like the old traditional look feel.

We have just finished a weeks holiday at Flanders Hall, near Leyburn. It was a new destination for an annual family gettogether and it absolutely ticked all the boxes! It is a lovely house, full of character and space to spread out if needed and the bedrooms were all really impressive. There are three living rooms all a bit different, with great details such as a piano and shelves full of books. The kitchen is large, warm and a very convivial space I enjoyed my first experience of using an Aga! The weather was pleasant enough to be able to sit out in the garden a couple of times, but later in the summer, that would be even nicer. The nearby walks and villages are lovely, and next time we go to the area, we would take bikes, as cycling would be great too. Jo was very prompt and helpful replying to texts with any queries and questions that we had. Because we were a mixed agegroup ie getting up and going to bed at very different times!, the fact that there was only one bath and one shower was not a problem, but it might have been an issue if 12 people were all trying to get ready at the same time every day.

Flanders Hall is a unique period property with lots of character. It isn't a museum, it's a very much loved and lived in home. It made a perfect house for a get together with old school friends, particularly as we had visited it before, back in the 1980s. We were delighted to find it was just as lovely as we remembered it. There are good quality appliances and very comfortable beds. We enjoyed the challenge of cooking on the Aga and found the instructions left by the owners really clear. We never had to cheat and use the electric oven! It is also in a wonderful location in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales the locals are very friendly and welcoming. All in all we had an amazing week.
