Lovely 4 night stay
Really lovely property and enough space for 5 of us. Everything was as described and clean. We had a fabulous 4 night stay and a great location. It was easy to get to York, McArthur Glen and Scarborough. We would definitely return, the owners are lovely and the bonus, a little farm shop.

Lovely, peaceful Barn
A lovely Barn located just 10 minute short drive from the Park and Ride taking you directly into York city centre. Brilliant location for exploring the loval area. The Barn was lovely, clean and welcoming with everything needed. It really was home from home and exceeded expectations.The oweners provided a lovely welcome pack which was gratefully received. This was a treasure to find and we will definitely come back again.

York -July 2023
This was an amazing property with great views of the cows and we were very happy for our 4 night stay. On arrival we were able to relax in the Garden and enjoy the sun , but we looked at the forecast and the rest of the time was going to be very wet. It was sad that we only got a few hours with no rain , but after going into York and getting wet for 2 days we were so pleased to be able to come back to this amazing property. It's larger that it looks in the pictures and very well located for the park and ride. We would like to come back some time, great beds and great night sleep and a very well equipped kitchen. Next time we come we may have better weather and get to explore the area . On a wet day the designer retail park 15 mins drive away is great , some nice shops we don't get in the south and our boys loved all the big sports shops and Haribo shop.

Great venue
The barn would be ideal for a small family or, in our case, a couple for a two-week stay. The owner was flexible enough to allow midweek to midweek. Our stay was 2nd and third week of June Location is ideal for access to park &ride to York, and a stone's throw from the A64 with access to major arterial roads. Take the back roads to the Wolds and Moors for best scenery. Use a map if you have one or be prepared to frequently redirect gps

This property is so much better than the photos make it look. We booked for 2 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of space and it’s so much Bigger than it looks online. It was 10-15 minutes out of York for most of the activities we did but the location didn’t bother us. We had a full size kitchen stocked with plenty of stuff to do dinner and breakfast there. We would absolutely stay here again. Laundry with washing machine and dryer was outside the building around the corner in another room. We caught up with about 5 loads of washing which was perfect. Thanks for a great stay we were really happy.
