Launde Barn is a unique, high quality barn conversion offering privacy and style just a short distance north of York. The village of Sutton on the Forest is charming, with a popular tearoom, Miss Daisy's, just 5 minutes walk away, a Georgian stately home, Sutton Park, a beautiful 19th century church, a recently opened whisky/gin distillery, a delicious Italian restaurant and a large recreation ground with play areas, boules, football pitch and table tennis table.

The village has easy access by bus into York (for attractions such as the famous York Minster, National Railway Museum, the Yorvik Viking Centre, the Yorkshire Chocolate Story, the City Walls and Racecourse) or the nearby Georgian town of Easingwold.

The barn is ideally situated for access to the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors and other attractions such as Castle Howard, Eden Camp, the Yorkshire Air Museum, Ampleforth Abbey and School and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby.

Beautiful barn getaway.
The barn was absolutely perfect for our family get together. A real home from home. We all enjoyed our time thoroughly. Our hosts were very good at communicating which made organizing our stay much easier. Will miss waking up to see the alpaca and sheep in field opposite!

A wonderful find
Perfect for what we needed to get together as a family for the first time in years. Very nice property, thoughtfully ready for us and a lovely cake to welcome us. Really friendly and helpful when there were things we needed. The location is lovely and the children loved the alpaca and walking in the woods. Thank you both!

A beautiful place to stay and relax
The property is not only stunning, it is set in the beautiful countryside with sheep, rabbits and even a friendly Alpaca. There’s tons of room inside, we were a party of 8 and a small dog. There’s also loads of room to play and explore outside. You can sit in the garden and eat breakfast/dinner together as there is a large garden table. My mum is in a wheelchair so the downstairs bedroom with en-suite was perfect for her and dad. There’s lots of great things to do for all ages within a short car journey. I would definitely recommend this excellent property.
