'House is immaculate!'
The City EscapeMyself and 3 friends stayed at Beth’s house for a nice relaxing week in York. The house is immaculate and all bedrooms done to a high standard and very comfy beds! We were welcomed to the property in person and had a nice surprise bottle of wine and chocolates – just what we needed after a long drive! Thanks Beth!
"A truly special place to unwind!"
Gennell Farm GlampingGennell Farm is everything a proper camping escape should be. Pitching up surrounded by rolling scenery and crisp country air is exactly what we needed to switch of from everyday life. It's a genuine gem of a farm stay - highly recommended!
