Absolutely perfect place for our recent family gathering. A beautifully presented property with everything you could want for a weekend of celebration and chilling. Loved the fire pit area which was well used due to the weather being kind to us too. Such a beautiful part of the world and North Stainley a great base to explore from, The Old Police House is definitely on our ‘Favourites’ list - we hope to return.

We were a group of 12 - 8 adults and 4 kids - and had a wonderful stay at the Old Police House. The house is huge, the main kitchen/diner/living area was a brilliant space for us all to spend time together. The garden was well kept and a good size for a few garden games etc. and the hot tub made it feel extra special. Beds really comfy and all bedrooms a good size. Overall, would not hesitate to recommend.
