wow a fantastic place for relaxing time

 

September 2023

We had a lovely stay, the location was beautiful and there was lots to do nearby. We needed a little help during our stay and we’re able to contact Christina really easily and she was very helpful. Thank you

 

August 2023

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Quiet and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed

 

July 2023

It is a very quiet and remote location, but in easy reach of Scarborough or Pickering. There is everything you would need in the cottage and the large garden was a bonus in the afternoons with beautiful views across the valley. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with excellent showers. We had plenty of room with 4 adults, two small children and a dog.

A very beautiful and spacious cottage, we will certainly be going back.

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful peaceful location. The cottage was immaculately clean and spacious.

Such a peaceful and tranquil home just what we needed to get away

 

July 2022

Lovely house. Ideal for our 3 generation family holiday. Very quiet ( apart from the sheep!). All the facilities we needed.

A fabulous house set in an idyllic valley on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Beautifully kitted out inside with very comfortable living sleeping and cooking arrangements, this is the place to go to get away from it all.

 

October 2021

Beautiful location if you want to feel away from things in the proper countryside. House warm and smartly done. Fantastic each room had its own bathrooms. Weren’t aware of neighbours at all, v quiet.

 

October 2021

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful country side, great for walking and a perfect location for visiting Whitby, Robin hood's bay, Pickering etc. Fabulous Farm shop between Pickering and Thornton le dale with a cafe called Cedar barn. Lovely pub at Allersyon called Cayley Arms.

 

September 2021

Idyllic farmhouse in the middle of nowhere for ultra “getting away from it all” vibe but also only 30 mins from coast - Scarborough/ Filey / Whitby

Absolutely wonderful stay. Good quality furnishings. Would certainly return again at the drop of a hat.

 

August 2021

Lovely cottage in an idyllic setting. Ideal for getting out and about.

Great remote location. Peaceful and quiet with a lovely big garden. The beds were comfortable and the cottage well equipped.

 

July 2021

We had a brilliant stay at Manor House Farm. The house is perfectly kitted out with everything you need. The location is ideal if your looking for somewhere a tad more remote and quiet but within easy driving distance to places like; Flamborough Head, Robin Hoods Bay and Filey - couldn’t recommend enough.

 

April 2021

Lovely cottage, but really made special by the stunning location

 

September 2020

A beautiful set of cottages in the remote moors. The whole extended family had a great time and we will be coming back next year!

 

August 2020

Beautiful and peaceful location on the edge of Dalby Forest, and perfectly laid out for families and couples. Manor Farm lacked for nothing and we had a great time.

 

August 2020

The property and surrounding are amazing. Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Most towns/seaside resorts are 30-40 minute drive away. The property has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which is fantastic. The host is brilliant and the property is very clean. You won’t be disappointed.

 

September 2018

Manor farm is in a rural location (so driving is a must) but the surroundings are magnificent!The house was very clean with a high standard of furnishing. The bed was so comfy that we bought one for ourselves! The house has loads of character with a beautiful large garden which the kids really enjoyed. There were lots of lovely touches such as wine and chocolates on arrival and lovely body washes in each bathroom. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back in the future.

 

August 2018

The Manor House is a treasure. Plenty of space for a family-three bathrooms and a lovely large lounge room and three bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. Both the dishwasher and washing machine come dryer are easy to use. There is a large grassed yard ideal for children to kick a ball or race around. The Manor House is situated in a quiet valley away from the hustle and bustle of life. Ideal for a family or two families. A wonderful Place to relax and enjoy country life.

August 2016

A delightful house in a delightful spot! Highly recommended!

 

April 2016

We had a fabulous time in Troutsdale. We loved the fact the house was tucked away in what felt like our own personal valley but still had plenty to do nearby.

The house was very comfortable and cosy with lovely underfloor heating!

Highlights of the trip were cycling in the Dalby forest and building the inevitable sandcastle on Filey beach. Communication with Christine was excellent.

Jan 2024

We stayed with his six in this spacious home. It was warm and cozy. The furnishings were complete, nothing was missing. Rural location, you get out the door in no time for a nice walk. We witnessed the neighbours, returning from their traditional pheasant hunt, very special to see.
We took the steam train from Pickering to Whitby, visited the York castle museum, and saw the waves hit the boulevard in Scarborough. In addition, we occasionally enjoyed a drink or lunch at a local pub.
In short, a recommendation and within an hour drive there is a lot to discover,
Also the communication with Christina prior to the trip was perfect.

 

September 2023

Very spacious house in a beautiful location. Had everything we needed for our two week stay. Would visit again.

 

June 2023

Beautifully setting, so quiet and peaceful we had a wonderful stay in this well appointed converted Granary. We loved the space, having two living rooms was a luxury. Kitchen has everything you need. Luxurious linen comfy beds.
Wonderful family holiday exploring York, Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay fossil hunting, Whitby Abbey. Lots of activities for the kids walks in the forest, Go Ape and MTB in Dalby Forest which is a 10 min drive. North Yorkshire Water Park was a hit with Warrior Inflatable adventure course and Paddleboarding. Great location.
Thank you. We had an amazing holiday.

Gorgeous location, beautiful cottage. would definitely recommend this to anyone although I don't want it to become too popular selfishly ! Very spacious for everyone staying, with the two living rooms it felt huge. Will be back!

CONAGLEN ESTATE

Tigh Beag – which means 'little house' – is located on the Conaglen Estate, which was formed in the 1850s when Lord Morton bought the northern half of Ardgour Estate extending to in the region of 38,000 acres from the Macleans of Ardgour. In 1862 Lord Morton commissioned the architect David Bryce to build the three-storey main house, with a galleried hall and staircase, and benefiting from views over Loch Linnhe. There the Mortons lived for more than 70 years. When Lord Morton died in 1936 the family moved to a secondary estate house in nearby Stronchreggan and let Conaglen House to a Mrs Kerr. In 1952 the Mason family bought the Estate, then sold it to John Malcolm Guthrie, from Yorkshire – the current owner's father – seven years later.

Since 1959 the Guthrie family has invested time, money and dedication in the Estate, undertaking in 1991-2 a major restoration of the 13-bedroom house, which is let on a weekly basis to house parties for activities such as stalking and fishing, and for general family holidays for outdoor enthusiasts. The estate employs in the region of 25-30 full and part-time staff, including stalkers, ghillies, chefs, a gardener and house staff.

In 2015/16 the derelict estate cottage of Tigh Beag was demolished and a new modern four-bedroom holiday home was built to make the most of the site's position and views over Loch Linnhe.

 

ACTIVITIES ON THE ESTATE

CYCLING - The lochside road in both directions makes a pleasant ride, and the track up Conaglen (see Walking) is suitable for mountain bikes. See page 10 for more cycling ideas in the district.

FISHING - There's sea trout fishing in the estuary and salmon fishing in the spate river. Please contact Ross McLean (01855 841304 or 07825 313859), our head stalker, who can advise you about conditions and fishing pools.

STALKING - Red deer stag and hind stalking takes places on Conaglen Estate in the applicable seasons. Guests at Tigh Beag may be able to book stalking in advance.

 

WALKING

We recommend the following walks, most of which you can do from the door:

Short stroll to the Deadman's Bay: Turn left at the bottom of the track to Tigh Beag, cross directly over the road and follow the track towards the shore and the bay straight ahead, from which there are views across to Ben Nevis.

Short stroll round Conaglen Garden and Woodland Walk: Turn right at the bottom of the track to Tigh Beag and head over the little bridge towards Conaglen House. The entrance to the garden is on the right, by the first golf green. You're free to explore at leisure, but the lawns immediately around the big house, plus the pitch-and-putt course, are reserved for tenants of Conaglen House. The Woodland Walk begins at the top of the main garden, beyond the skier sculpture, and loops round to the left and back to the Estate Yard. The garden holds an annual open day.

Out-and-back hike up Conaglen: Turn right at the bottom of the track to Tigh Beag and along the track towards Conaglen House. Just after the bridge over the stream, turn right up the track alongside the garden. When it bears right to re-cross the stream, turn left into the woodland walk above the garden. Follow it as it ascends through the woods, with a field about 50 yards on your right. It then descends to a large metal gate adjoining a pedestrian gate to its left, through which is a level track (do not go up the hill to the right, through a similar gate). Follow the track straight on as far as you like, taking care to close any gates you open along the way. Following the River Cona, the track peters out after 10 miles. You may see free-roaming Highland cattle and red deer.

Out-and-back hike up Glenscaddle: Turn left at the bottom of the track to Tigh Beag then right onto the road towards the Corran Ferry. Follow this for about 400yd, over two bridges, then turn right onto a track just after a cattle grid (you can drive this first section if you like, and park in the layby). The track passes a few cottages and houses, then continues up Glenscaddle, sometimes ascending through blocks of forestry and sometimes meandering along closer to the River Scaddle. It peters out after about 8 miles. You may see free-roaming cattle and red deer.

Adventurous walk to Heron Island - approaching low tide only: Turn left at the bottom of the track to Tigh Beag then right onto the road towards the Corran Ferry. Follow this for about 400yd, over two bridges and a cattle grid. At the next gateway turn left into a grass field and make for the island, about half a mile away across the flats. The ground may be boggy and you will have to cross numerous rivulets. Only for the adventurous, and only possible when the tide is dropping. Please leave ample time to get back while the tide is low.

Out-and-back-hike up Stronchreggan: A 10-minute drive away - turn left out of Tigh Beag, drive about two-and-a-half miles along the loch shore and park in the lay-by next to a large agricultural barn on your right, which has large gates to its left. Leave your car there, walk over a little bridge on the sealed road and take the first left, through a gate and up a track. The track follows the peaceful Stronchreggan Glen, which narrows to a smaller path before petering out after about 3 miles. You may see free-roaming Highland cattle and red deer.

 

ACTIVITIES IN THE DISTRICT AND DAYS OUT

BEACHES

ARISAIG - Beautiful white-sand beach with dunes and views to the West Coast islands. Ideal for beach games, picnicking, swimming, rockpooling and birdwatching. About 1hr15 away: turn left out of Tigh Beag, follow the lochside for 20min then turn left at the A830 towards Mallaig. The beach is north of Arisaig village, just after you pass Traigh Golf Course (see Golf, page 12), with a small parking bay on the left. No cafe.

ARDTOE - Lovely white-sand beach, ideal for beach games, picnicking, swimming, rockpooling and birdwatching, with views to the Small Isles.

BEN NEVIS – see walkhighlands.co.uk

We suggest you pick as clear a day as possible if you want to hike up Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis (4418ft/1344m). Set off early, as it takes almost 1hr to drive to the start of the mountain footpath, and the ascent and descent take as long as 9hr. The way is strenuous, steep and stony. Carry water, snacks, waterproofs, warm layers (it can be snowy, even in summer) and a mobile phone. The footpath starts south of Fort William, by the Ben Nevis Inn (see page 7). To get there from Fort William follow the A82 through town, signposted Inverness. At a mini-roundabout by the Highland Centre shop, bear left (still on the A82). After crossing the river turn sharp right onto Claggan Road, just before the traffic lights. After 800yd, turn right at the sign for Achintee, just before the Spar shop. Follow Achintee Road for a mile and park just before the Ben Nevis Inn.

L. B, United Kingdom - July 2022

 

"We stayed here for our honeymoon last year so it was special to return for our first anniversary. We love the seclusion and the large private grounds that the dogs could run around in. I think they remembered it from last year too!! It is lovely to wake up to the sound of the stream and the sight of the lochan. We enjoyed a very lazy holiday, walking the dogs in the large grounds of the estate. Everyone we met was very friendly. The house is very clean and wants for nothing. The men who came to take away the bin for emptying asked if we'd had any problems with wasps. We hadn't then, but a couple of days later we did. I phoned the housekeeper then we went for a walk. The nest had been dealt with by the time we returned. Brilliant. We came across the men again when they were cutting the grass, and again when we were walking. They were very friendly and obviously hard working."
