Low Penhowe is located in the Yorkshire wolds, about 25 minutes drive from York. A vast variety of sites can be seen within an hour or so. Beth and I stayed for 2 weeks and were enriched by the experience! Philippa and Christopher are the ideal hosts for a vacation in north Yorkshire. They make it their business to make your stay comfortable and to answer any and all questions about attractions in the area. They suggested for us places that were not indicated in travel brochures but, as it turned out, were not to be missed! The breakfasts they provided were a gourmet's delight - especially try the scrambled eggs! Nothing is forgotten! We had had some car difficulties and Christopher and Phillipa ensured - almost within minutes - that we were literally up and driving! With their concern and perseverence and suggestions they are responsible for a most successful vacation in the wolds and dales of North Yorkshire. We enthusiastically recommend Low Penhowe - Phillipa, Christopher, Molly and Isla - as not just a stopping over spot, but as a vacation destination! Thank you to all - Tom and Beth

We fully endorse previous comments. The setting, facilities and attention to detail were second to none ensuring that we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Our hosts provided personal assistance with booking meals, travel/sightseeing advice including a delightful tour around the North Yorkshire moors prior to our journey home. We were treated more like friends and would happily return for another stay. The breakfast was truly great!
Rural location, car essential.

We were intending to stay nearer the coast; so glad we didn't as we hit on a brilliant gem of a b&b and found the area with its lovely stone villages a hidden delight. Our hosts were very welcoming and the standard of accomodation was excellent. The dogs were very well-trained and friendly and the views from the house absolutely stunning. Breakfasts were gorgeous and there is a great collection of pubs nearby for a hearty evening meal. We will definitely be going back!

Christopher was extremely helpful with directions. The home was very clean and comfortable with a lovely lounge and beautiful dining room which was delightfully set for breakfast. The food really did live up to it's description on their website. They own two well behaved labradors and a few rather unusual looking cows can be seen grazing on their land. Nothing seemed too much trouble for Christopher. We would definately recommend this to friends and if planning a break to York again would book well in advance.
