“Barn Owl Cottage was decorated ...”

Barn Owl Cottage was decorated beautifully and better than we expected. The underfloor heating and wood burning stove were a bonus especially as it was a brisk week, however we did have plenty of sunshine bearing in mind the time of year.The outlook over the rolling Howardian Hills was stunning. And the owner made us very welcome when we arrived, and explained if there were any issues her door was always open. We were sad to leave.

“A Welcome Retreat”

Barn Owl Cottage was an ideal base for our Yorkshire holiday. The cottage is wonderfully inviting, warm and cosy, equipped with everything you could need. The beds are really comfortable and the walk-in shower amazing! Wi-fi access enabled us to stay in contact with our family. Sadly it was not cold enough for us to light the wood burner. Maybe next time! We went from the cottage to York, using the Park and RIde; to Whitby for seaside and fish and chips; to Castle Howard; across the moor to Helmsley and Rievaulx Abbey as well as dining at excellent local inns. The owners were very helpful and the Welcome Pack provided was greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to a return visit.

“Beautiful and luxurious cottage in nice setting”

We absolutely loved our stay at Barn Owl cottage and would definitely come again. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The cottage has everything one could want for and more and is very clean. A perfect spot to visit the Yorkshire Moors or Dales.

“Better than brilliant”

We have stayed in many places over time - but this was by far the best. It had all you could want and then some. Easy to find, magic views from kitchen window, central for just about everything north of the city of York. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

“A Home away from Home”

We arrived at this cottage to discover it was everything that was advertised. We were welcomed by the friendly owners. No details were left untouched. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything that you would need. The cottage was clean with a nice modern decor from bedding and luxurious walk in showers. The location was ideally situated close to all amenities and major routes to other areas in North Yorkshire. Just a short drive to York and the train station to whisk you away to other destinations. It was truly a home away from home and will recommend this location to friends and families!

“Perfect cottage in an ideal location.”

Barn Owl Cottage is in the ideal location for visiting all areas of Yorkshire with fantastic views and stunning scenery. The cottage is spacious, spotlessly clean, well-equipped and the attention to detail in every room is outstanding. We loved the wood burner, wi-fi, comfy beds, exhilarating showers and the extensive library of information. This is truly a five star accommodation which we would highly recommend.

“Excellent in all aspects!!!!”

Booked mid February for celebratIng our 11th Wedding Anniversary, chosen as a result of the location, but also the marketed pictures and facilities! On arrival, nothing disappointed! All facilities, from the kitchen, to the log burner, to the powerful walk in showers and the very comfy bed were as expected and more! For me, a chance to revisit the places in North and East Yorkshire where I have many happy childhood holiday memories. The location was a great base to visit loads of places from. Thank you, we will recommend.

“Wonderful base in beautiful countryside”

What a find. The cottage was so comfortable and warm, decor excellent and it was very well equipped. We loved being close enough to visit York but in the countryside, we came away feeling very refreshed and relaxed. Lovely walking in the area. We hope to visit again soon and will recommend to our friends.
