We have family living locally, hence we have visited many nearby Certificated Locations over the years and know the area well.  We have been here for short breaks in the past, but having recently stayed for a prolonged three week period, feel able to state that this site really is consistently exceptional. The location is ideal, encompassing a feeling of having escaped to the wilds of the North York Moors, while still being an easy, quick drive (or cycle) to local amenities or attractions.  There are literally hundreds of miles of dedicated cycle tracks and footpaths winding through stunning scenery available directly from the CL. The site itself, from which stunning views abound, is spacious yet remains sheltered from the worst of any bad weather,whilst managing to maintain just the right balance between an authentic working farm and a relaxed, serene but exceptionally well maintained holiday location.  Finally, the owners manage a similar balance, always there to help, but never invasive in their attentions.  Additionally, the farmhouse abuts the entrance and overlooks the site, imparting a sense of security. We can confidently give our heartfelt recommendation for this CL and will definitely be returning for years to come.
