The Old Back Kitchen really is the place for you if you want a break away from it all.
The kitchen and entrance hall radiators, bathroom towel rail and hot water are heated by the wood fired Rayburn and water heating solar panels in the farmhouse, whilst the living room and a bedroom are heated via the wood burning stove. There is Wi-Fi signal up here, but it is not always 100% reliable and the TV reception can be a little hit and miss, but there are plenty of books to read, and board and card games to play; the owners have thought of everything. There’s even a pair of binoculars and bird books so you can spend a while enjoying the wildlife on offer within the National Park. The farm has no mains electric and generates power from an eco-friendly system comprising of a combination of solar panels and an Archimedes screw in the beck producing hydro-electricity. The lights run on LEDs and you will also find a low voltage hair dryer and travel steamer for you to use. There is sufficient electricity to charge phones, laptops and E bikes, but please do not bring any other appliances with you.
After a long day walking or cycling within the National Park why not relax and enjoy a drink on the private decking or soothe aching muscles in your own home-made wood-fired hot tub with its barbeque grill; whilst it has no jets or bubbles, it does have simply stunning views across the valley, or up at the stars, as the North York Moors has Dark Sky status.
