Your dogs and kids will love the gardens at The Farmstead. You’ll sit for hours on the patio furniture, occasionally turning your sausages on the gas barbecue or whacking swing ball. Play table tennis and watch the kids swing on the play set. It’s just a slide of a door back into the swim-spas. We’re all about flow here.
Enjoy open-plan living, designed for sociable gathering and the family flow of moving from the dinner table to the forgiving couch for flowing conversations. Or opt. in for the squishy leather sofas for fire-warmed Netflix nights using the password you remembered to bring. Raid the landing cupboard for board games for the whole family.
Looking for more? How about kicking against the current for fitness in the swim-spa, potting balls on the pool table or playing darts in the games room. Open another bottle of Beaujolais whilst basking in the bubbles from the hot tub. Whatever you’re doing, keep toasty warm, thanks to the biomass burner.
Chattering and chopping won’t be an issue here. With space to dine everyone in the dining and living space, or even to eat al-fresco in the barbecue area? When dinners ready, the whole clan can ferry that last of the wine over to the living area to continue the conversation or just nod off in front of Netflix.
If you’d prefer to slosh around in the swim-spa before being called decorously to dinner, consider hiring our pro chefs: At the Dinner Party, By Molly or Willows Catering. Book a one-off celebration or even a fully catered break. Put your feet up further with takeaways from Pizzaland, China China or The East, and fish and chips from Harper’s.
Fill the American-style fridge/freezer with deliveries from all the major supermarkets, meat from Trotter’s Farmshop, and deli or afternoon tea from Sally Middlewood’s. Pretend you’re in the Med in Snainton at The Coachman. Pick from breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner at The Farrier in Cayton. Or dig into small plates at FortySix.
Tuck into wild halibut fillet or lamb tagine at the highly rated Brandysnap Bistro. Eat great pub grub in the beer garden at The Star Inn in Weaverthorpe. Pop in to Nosh for paninis and sarnies.
