About Us
Welcome to South Newlands Farm – a peaceful countryside escape lovingly run by Peggy and Rod.
We’re proud to be third-generation owners of this beautiful spot in the heart of Yorkshire, just outside the village of Riccall and only a short drive from the historic city of York. South Newlands has been in our family for many years, and we continue to build on its legacy by offering a warm welcome, great hospitality, and a friendly, relaxed environment that keeps guests coming back year after year.
Our passion lies in creating inclusive and comfortable stays for everyone. That’s why we offer three fully accessible cottages, thoughtfully equipped with features like profiling beds, ceiling hoists, wet rooms, and ground floor bedrooms. We’ve worked hard to ensure every guest feels right at home, no matter their needs.
For a cosy countryside break, we also have The Snug – a charming, private accommodation perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to unwind. If you’re touring with a caravan or motorhome, you’ll love our well-maintained certified Riccall Caravan Site, offering spacious grass or hard-standing pitches, electric hook-up, and all the essentials for a relaxed stay.
We’re proud to be dog-friendly too—because holidays are even better with your four-legged friends!
Whether you’re visiting for a quiet getaway, an accessible stay, or a base to explore Yorkshire, we’ll do everything we can to make your time with us special. Our reviews say it all—and we’d love for you to experience South Newlands Farm for yourself.
If you have any questions or special requirements, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

As always a wonderful warm welcome and everything perfect for our Christmas family break. Facilities are perfect and the updates are really good. Thankyou for a lovely few days.

This is our third visit to South Newlands Farm Cottages. we found the Cottage spotlessly clean, with useful kitchen appliances and equipment. we appreciated the selection of mobility aids in the house also. We only needed to use the hospital bed. It was cold weather during our stay and the cottage is toasty warm which is important for my disabled sister. The grounds are great - plenty of space to run around. Peggy and Rod are the loveliest and kindest people and make us feel so welcome. This is an oasis for us to bring my sister , it is near our Yorkshire family . (we are from South Coast) We look forward to our next visit.

Yum! The kitchen is fully kitted out with every single thing you could possibly need and the large table makes for a great place to gather as a family or group. The lounge is big and the sofas are very comfy. I was truly impressed by how clean the entire place is! The beds are comfy and the linen is outstanding quality. Outside there's a BBQ and comfortable table and chairs. The most impressive thing of all is how well Peggy is informed about all the things required for differently abled people. The bungalow has ample space for a wheelchair to move around easily. Peggy can arrange any of the gadgets and goodies you may need and it's such a smooth process. My only regret is not staying longer! We will definitely be back! Peter Smith2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Copper Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. We didn't need to bring anything with us - Fully equipped kitchen had everything, and dishwasher was a big bonus. Dishwasher tablets supplied! Bed was comfortable - Don't normally sleep well in holiday accommodation, but this was great. Disabled facilities excellent - Mobile shower seat and rise / recline armchair provided on request. Proprietors were friendly and helpful, and anxious to please. Good price for our stay. Would very much recommend.

Rod and Peggy are very welcoming people and are on hand to help with anything you may need or ask for tips on where to visit. The cottages are ideal for my disabled daughter who needs the space for her wheelchair. The cottages are well equipped and our dog Rosie enjoys the holiday as well.
