Home-Ensuite with Shower-Mountain view

This house is perfect for a big group, every possible requirement is provided for and the setting is absolutely stunning. We had from age 9 to 83 and everyone loved the house, from the glorious views in the garden to the comfy sofas in the two sitting rooms. Everything a cook could need in the kitchen, super comfy beds, lovely bathrooms - it's just perfect. Damian and Joanne were super hosts, there when we needed them and with really helpful advice and local information.

I have held a few Yoga and Wellness retreats here and it never disappoints. It is perfect for what I need in a venue as it has an indoor studio and an outdoor Yoga decking for if the weather is nice. Joanne and Damian go out of their way to be helpful and welcoming and the property itself is a home from home. The beds are super comfy and most of them can be made into a double or twin. There are plenty of areas both indoor and outdoor for guests to relax. Already booked again for next year ?

What can we say other these FANTASTIC. Second stay and planning a third for our weekend sewing retreat. Has everything you need and more. Joanne and Damian have thought of everything and are there if you need them. All of us would highly recommend this beautiful property xx

Friendly welcome, immaculately clean house and full support available throughout our stay.

St Marks Stays was a perfect venue for a weekend retreat. The communication and help from Jo & Damian was exemplary, the kitchen was well equipped and the yoga studio with all the props saved us lugging them from our studios at home. A really easy venue to navigate and house ten guests and two teachers for a weekend of nurture.

Remote Yorkshire countryside

There wasn’t anything we could fault about the place or the hosts

I loved the homely feel to the venue, the modern but rustic feel to the house. The thought and effort that the hosts put into the venue shows, they have thought of everything down to water bottles for each guest and lovely local homemade soaps. You do not want for nothing when staying in this venue The one thing I think could elevate this property even more would be a little sauna. With the ice bath it would be something so unbelievably unique

I Loved that from as soon as we arrived Damien was there to greet us and walk things through with us. And knowing if there were any issues that they’d be dealt with without any hesitation. This took a lot of stress away. Everything was immaculate,and good quality but still with a homely vibe so you didn’t feel on edge & could relax fully. There was ore than enough crockery & utensils so made life in the kitchen providing meals for large groups easier. Then there’s the view…from every window!!

House is really well equipped, beautifully decorated and with lots of character. Lovely gardens and well situated.

This is my 3rd year using this gorgeous venue for my yoga retreats. Joanne and Damian are always so welcoming and make sure you have everything you need prior to and during your stay. The house is beautifully decorated, clean and very well equipped for large groups, plus lots of attention to things that make you feel even more at home. The view, the gardens are stunning and my guests always love getting out to practice on the decking. Another fabulous visit and can’t wait to be back soon.

After years of searching, I have finally found the ideal venue to host my wellbeing retreats. Every room is beautifully appointed with so much love and attention to detail. The location is both private and accessible and the views from the garden are spectacular. Joanne and Damian are the wonderful live-in hosts who offer the perfect balance of freedom and friendly support. I'm so glad I took a leap of faith and am really looking forward to returning again with my retreat ladies next year.

This is the second year running that I have co-hosted a Yoga retreat at St Marks Stays. All our guests loved the ambience of the house which is extremely calm and peaceful. It really is a home away from home. We enjoyed the gardens and decking as the sun shone for us. The in house yoga studio makes the space work particularly well. However, it’s very versatile house and would work for many other types of stays. The owners Joanne and Damian were very helpful ensuring we had everything we needed.
