Great house, good condition, very suited to our needs as a family get together. Ampleforth good place to holiday from with two different but good pubs, local shop.
Lovely spacious house, thoughtfully equipped. In a great position for walking, with pubs, village shop and coffee house all within a minute’s walk.
Excellent house and location, had stayed there before so that is why we chose the property.
A beautiful house, very well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday. Ampleforth is a lovely village with two excellent pubs, a great cafe and a well-stocked village shop - what more could you need? A great base for some wonderful walks both on the doorstep and further afield, with a lovely hot shower when you get back! The non-walking members of our party very much enjoyed the facilities at leisure centre at Ampleforth College, which are open to the public. Would definitely recommend.
property is very nice but we found it not well cleaned from the previous holiday makers. it was a little dirty and grubby.Parking is a nightmare we had 3 cars with us and there is very little road parking spaces. you park on the road- but if you park in a "locals spot" expect some abuse! Very nice coffee tea shop opposite
Owner reply: We are very sorry to hear that you thought the house was not as clean as expected. We are surprised as we pride ourselves on the high standard of cleanliness and have never had a negative comment before. If you had mentioned your concern directly we would have taken immediate steps to address your concern.
We loved Prospect House. Tastefully presented and very well equipped. It being decorated for Christmas with log fires ready to light made it even more special. We’ll be back !
We had a wonderful stay at a perfect place!
Lovely house, great location we had a great break
Lovely property. Fantastic hamper with local produce with all you need for a couple of days. Beds and linen can easily compete with 5-star hotels.
A beautifully house in a lovely location, everything was top quality and nothing had not been thought of, the welcome cake and bread were delicious, 2 wonderful village pubs and lovely dog walks , just perfect, would highly recommend.
Lovely property. Great location and everything internally done to a high standard. It’s also the small things that take away annoyance- dish washing tablets, clean cloths/sponges etc that mean you can just turn up. The welcome hamper was amazing and the fruit cake was delicious. Good sized rooms and good layout
Spacious, well equipped, clean house with attractive original features and good views across the valley below. The shared bathroom does not have a separate shower; some of our party used the en-suite showers in the other rooms.
Fabulous accommodation, lovely hamper on arrival with everything we needed. Will definitely recommend and hope to be back again soon.
Excellent location and well equipped.
Beautifully furnished comfortable house, very well equipped kitchen, super outside spaces and in a lovely location - what more could you want ?

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
