The Hayloft provides spacious self contained accommodation on the first floor. Luxuriously appointed, all the rooms have the benefit of a complete refit in 2008. There are two bedrooms, one with double bed and built in locally madeTreske wardrobe and the other with twin beds and antique farmhouse furniture. Both bedrooms have lovely views, one across the courtyard towards Cropton forest the other across our vegetable patch towards the Roman Road.  

A fully equipped kitchen including electric oven with ceramic hob, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer and microwave. The large lounge/dining room has twin aspect views, comfy sofas and a wood burning stove for those cosier evenings. There is a large TV, DVD with a wide choice of films and CD’s.

The bathroom has a double ended bath with a shower.  All of the rooms are newly decorated.

The Hayloft has it’s own entrance from the courtyard of Flamborough Rigg Cottage and also has use of the fully enclosed garden including it’s sun terrace and barbeque area. The garden is crammed full of interesting shrubs, quite a few varieties of Acer, a surprising number of lilies and many different fruit trees.

If you are staying for a week or more there will be a local food hamper waiting for you. This will include rare breed  sausages from Raindale Farm here in Stape, Dry cured bacon from Cedar Barn near Pickering, fantastic free range eggs (from Alex, Coxie, Ginny, Glenys and Edith who live at the end of the garden) homemade bread and preserves, milk, local butter, orange juice and often some seasonal fruit from the garden. Unfortunately although we grow a considerable number of grapes, we have not as yet mastered the art of wine making, but watch this space!
