Pear Tree House

We stayed at Ben’s for New Year’s and had a wonderful stay. The house is immaculate and beautiful, particularly the kitchen/living area. It was warm and welcoming and Ben and Rosie obviously take a lot of pride in the place...

Kitchen is very well equipped to cook your own meals. We went out each day and it was lovely to come back and relax. Ben as a host is amazing. Unfortunately I didn’t get to meet him as we were out so much but he has been very responsive and helpful over message, going above and beyond when I asked about paint colours and bathroom wallpaper! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here. Thanks both for making the stay special.

Every now and then, you meet a host so warm and kind that you wish they were part of your own family.…

This was the case with Ben and his family. Communicative and generous. They went above and beyond to make my stay a pleasant one. Their home is absolutely perfect, gorgeous, spacious, well-equipped in an idyllic neighborhood. I can’t wait to return.

A fantastic Oct 1/2 term break spent at Pear Tree House, I don’t think I have ever stayed anywhere so well equipped!…

Ben & Rosie were so helpful and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We all hope to re-visit again soon.

We have had a wonderful stay at Pear Tree House. The house is so well equipped with everything you need & more for a very comfortable stay…

Communication was excellent & we knew Ben & Rosie were on hand if we needed them, but otherwise they left us to our own devices. The village is absolutely beautiful & our dog will very much miss the forest walks!

Thanks Ben & Rosie. XX

Wow! What a fantastic house and in a beautiful location. The house was spotlessly clean, immaculately presented and very well equipped…

We had an absolutely amazing weekend, and loved our stay at Pear Tree House. We also had Sunday Lunch at the Rose and Crown, and afternoon tea from Daisy’s Tea Room. Both located close by and both delicious. Ben and Rosie couldn’t have been more accommodating, and we can’t wait to come back.

Pear Tree House is five star plus holiday accommodation and yet it retains the feeling of a much loved family home.

We have enjoyed every moment of our stay here and it has surpassed all our expectations. We are already planning our return. Thank you for allowing us to share it. X

I initially applied to Ben for Fox Cottage in Helmsley, which was fully booked. Luckily, he was close to completing Pear Tree House, so I was very fortunate to be the first guest. We had the most wonderful stay to celebrate a special birthday. The village of Sutton-on-the-Forest is beautiful with well maintained front gardens. Every aspect of PTH was beautiful, starting with a pretty front garden, smartly painted white gates and a large graveled courtyard. The kitchen is astonishing with a generous island, marble worktops and floor tiles. There is perfect harmony between the traditional, (e.g. enormous AGA), and the modern appliances. It was designed by a serious “foodie”.

When my birthday dinner was cancelled due to an emergency at The Bay Tree in Stillington, we successfully used the kitchen to cook our own dinner. The private walled garden was a delight. Every aspect of the internal decor and furnishings is impeccable, in particular the use of wallpaper with William Morris prints. The principal bedroom looks onto the garden and the ensuite is lovely, including the high end Aqualisa shower. There is a spacious “dressing room” and the separate study is great for some quiet time.

I enjoyed a coffee at the Sutton Estate tea room across the road, as well a nice walk through the estate forest. The location is ideal to explore all parts of North East Yorkshire including the seaside. Ben and Rosie were responsive, friendly and professional throughout. I look forward to returning to Pear Tree House.
