Guest comments
Wonderful house, wonderful hosts, wonderful North Yorkshire, within seconds we knew why we had returned to Morton House!
An unbelievable weekend, awesome place, thanks for the memories!
Home from home only better! Thank you for a relaxed weekend, we'll come for a week next time
Situated in the beautiful village of Masham, which has excellent general amenities and a very welcoming tourist information shop. Tennis courts available for the more enthusiastic, situated just next to a fabulous childrens play area. Personally, one of the fastest roundabouts I have ever been on, accompanied by a long slide, mini castle, swings etc.... wonderful!
Highlights of this visit include a visit to the National Railway Museum in York which is less than 30 minutes away, and has one of the worlds finest eateries... Betties!
If you want something more local, a visit to the Black Sheep Brewery is a must. If only for Sunday lunch.
