Mrs Littlewood
October 2020

“Fantastic location and fabulous cottage.”

Homely, warm, cosy. Everything you needed was there. Beds were amazing. The space of rooms was perfect and having a spacious hallway and great utility room after walks out with coats and boots and dog was great. Truly home from home in every way. Kids loved the train going passed and recommend the train journey too and spotting cottage too.

“The long barn was the most outstanding property we've ever stayed in!”

A lovely welcoming tray of coffee, tea, biscuits and freshly laid eggs, the property was spotlessly clean, equipt with everything you could possibly need. The beds were pure luxury and to wake up to such superb countryside views every day was just amazing. We loved seeing the steam train go past the end of the garden too... Simply wonderful! Thank you for such a memorable stay

Mr Gale October 2020

“We could only fit three nights in but loved every minute, the Long Barn was fantastic and was beautifully furnished to a very high standard.”

We have already recommended it to our neighbours, family and friends. Watching the steam train pass the end of the garden was a real treat. We will return for a longer break at some stage.

Mr Lovell September 2020

“Wow! This place is just fantastic.”

The location is great for any walking and sight seeing and with the train running at the bottom of the garden twice a day it was always a pleasure to see the passengers waving at us. The facilities are everything you would ever want for during any stay, a home-from-home cottage. The equipment level and quality of the items were great. Our family had a superb week and we would all recommend this property, it has and is everything you’ll need.

- Mr Lovell, September 2020
Ms Kirby September 2020

“The barn was lovely with the added bonus of being able to watch the steam trains go past every day.”

The barn itself was well equipped with everything you could want. Honey our 2 year old Cockerpoo certainly loved all the walks even if she could not go off her lead because we were surrounded by sheep. The barn was exceptionally clean and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay .

Mr Boon September 2020

“The Long Barn at Goathland was the perfect place our family holiday.”

The location was stunning and a starting point for many wonderful walks over the moors, along the local trails, to beautiful waterfalls and rivers, and pretty villages. The highlight for us was the garden, overlooking the valley, with the steam trains passing by. The house itself was extremely comfortable and ideal for family cooking sessions and cosy nights in. The owners were helpful when needed but unobtrusive. Thank you John and Lyn for a lovely stay and for the ‘welcome gifts’

“This was a lovely cottage ideal for a family break, plenty of room.”

Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Wifi is limited but this is stated in listing. Beautiful location, great to see train at the end of the garden, lovely walks from cottage.

Mrs Collins November 2019

“The Barn was a fabulous place to stay.”

Lots of room, everything provided for a great long weekend. Very clean. The steam trains passing the end of the garden were a delight. Will definitely recommend and would love to return.

Mrs Peters August 2019

“This was a beautiful barn with fantastic hosts.”

If you are travelling with anyone with limited mobility who is planning on using the downstairs bedroom (which has stunning views) and downstairs wetroom and toilet, be aware the three steps mentioned in the posting are tall and there is no rail. We got round this by buying a commode from a shop in Scarborough and helping with the steps. Would still recommend this gorgeous barn to everyone. Stunning and very comfortable.

- Mrs Peters, August 2019
Dr Rawles August 2019

“This is a beautiful house in a beautiful place; we were *very* lucky with the weather, but it would still have been good in bad weather.”

Proximity to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway was a particular bonus.

Miss Telfer June 2019

“Long barn was lovely I would highly recommend.”

Could not fault the Barn. steam train runs along the bottom of the garden. The barn was very spacious clean. everything you needed was there. tea sugar cake biscuits and a bottle of wine included wish was a nice touch. Plenty to see and visit . When using sat nav to get to barn put in saddler house not just post code. I would definitely return to the Long barn

- Miss Telfer, June 2019
Mrs Allen April 2019

“The garden with the steam trains passing.”

All of us not just my two year old grandson were excited to see the trains. The location was fabulous with stunning views across the moors.

Mr Wilkinson March 2019

“We rented the Long Barn and Orchard Cottage for my 60th birthday do, it was great that the rental period was from Friday - Friday as this suited us perfectly, the cottages are superb, clean and well presented and we had a fantastic event.”

- Mr Wilkinson, March 2019
Mr Haines March 2019

“Great location very clean and very good facilities.”

- Mr Haines, March 2019
Mr Pitchford March 2019

“The property was top-class!”

Everything about it was perfect, location, facilities, quality, space, log fires, comfortable settees and beds .... what more do you need?

- Mr Pitchford, March 2019
Mrs Clarke February 2019

“Fantastic location for exploring the North York Moors and the property had stunning views across the valley.”

The only negative was the downstairs toilet was a combined wet room which served the downstairs bedroom so if you needed the toilet after someone had showered you had to go upstairs or get wet feet.It was also a lot smaller compared to the bathrooms upstairs

- Mrs Clarke, February 2019
Mr Williams December 2018

“Beautiful location made even better by the regular passing of steam trains.”

Great for walkers, country lovers and children.

- Mr Williams, December 2018
Mrs Roberts November 2018

“Lovely property, really cosy,great location for Whitby and surrounding villages.”

Great for walking the dogs.into Goathland to Mallyan Spout pub and coffee shop,food and drink excellant.Owners are lovely,found little treats on our arrival. Cannot recommend highly enough will definitely return.

- Mrs Roberts, November 2018
Mrs Ford October 2018

“An excellent cottage.”

Everything was as described.

- Mrs Ford, October 2018
Mr Smith September 2018

“This was our fourth time at this lovely cottage.”

Slight niggle is the water pressure results in a weak shower in the upstairs bathrooms but I guess that’s related to the location and nature of the water supply. Cottage was lovely and clean on arrival and the owners are on site and quickly attend to any issues.

- Mr Smith, September 2018
Mr Hoy September 2018

“Was listed as having 3 bathrooms which we had put in as a search criteria as we were 3 couples holidaying together.”

The downstairs toilet had a small shower/wet room which couldn't be used as such because it would have meant the toilet would have got soaked.

- Mr Hoy, September 2018
Mr Harrison March 2018

“Perfect property in the perfect location surrounded by Yorkshire rolling countryside with the North Yorkshire Steam Railway just to the rear of the property.”

- Mr Harrison, March 2018
Mr Warrell January 2018

“The owners could not do enough for us.”

We really enjoyed the barn and its location.

- Mr Warrell, January 2018
Mrs Scherrer December 2017

“Property was just perfect, and the steam train at the bottom of the garden was so much fun.”

The kids ran out every time to wave. Kitchen full of things to make a big meal for 8 people (or more!). Rooms large and spacious and really clean. We’d love to come back at some point, location great! Just 20 mins to Whitby coast and robin hoods bay.

- Mrs Scherrer, December 2017
Mrs Sutherby November 2017

“Other than I would love to live there, even got snowed in which was fabulous.”

Perfect place run by lovely friendly people.
