“We were looking for quiet holiday, so I don't know if we picked the wrong week but the road outside the cottage there was continuous traffic and we could'nt sit outside and even sitting inside the noise was bad even if the patio doors were closed, and then I was'nt feeling well so decided to come home a day early.”

- Mrs Morris, September 2021
Mrs Rogers August 2021

“Wonderful holiday cottage.”

Very well looked after with great facilities. The fluffiest towels I’ve ever felt and delicious complimentary homemade cake on arrival, definitely welcome after a 6 hour journey. Will definitely recommend.

- Mrs Rogers, August 2021
Mrs Harding July 2021

“Lovely place to stay.”

Very peaceful and comfortable. Appreciated the lovely cake that greeted us and the owner coming to check everything was OK when we arrived. We know Yorkshire well and this was in a good position to drive to everywhere we wanted to visit. The garden was appreciated when it was sunny enough to sit out and the surrounding views were lovely. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. My only downside (which is true of most rentals we have used) is that bath towels were small so we ended up using our bath sheet size beach towels. But that really is a small niggle on our part.

- Mrs Harding, July 2021
Mrs Winch July 2021

“Situated amongst fields, this is lovely accommodation; we slept with skylights open - awoke to the birds' morning song.”

Peaceful.

Mr Collins June 2021

“The location of the cottage was extremely good for visiting York and the Dales.”

The cottage is extremely clean, comfortable and well cared for.

Miss Simpson June 2021

“We had a week break in the Barn cottage and we had a fabulous time.”

It’s was cosy, comfortable and a lovely break away.

- Miss Simpson, June 2021
Miss Moore June 2021

“Lovely cottage, well equipped and furnished.”

Nice dog safe enclosed garden and good off road parking. Very friendly and helpful owners. Only negative point is the closeness to the road and the noise from local traffic. If you are looking for complete peace and quiet then the road traffic noise could be a problem. Had a very enjoyable week, lots of interesting places to visit within a hours drive.

- Miss Moore, June 2021
Granger June 2021

“This is clean, comfortable, well equipped, very quiet and peaceful accommodation situated out of town almost like being in a farm Cottage.”

We felt very relaxed there but close enough to use the local pub for our cooked meal of the day saving us the bother. It had a large garden where we could relax in the summer evenings. Would highly recommend.

- Granger, June 2021
Mr Noakes September 2020

“A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a quiet and convenient location.”

Good parking, safe, enclosed garden for the dog and well equipped kitchen. Stamford Bridge just a few minutes in the car with good pubs, takeaway, a co-op, chemist etc. Would definitely book again.

- Mr Noakes, September 2020
Mrs Willis August 2020

“We were absolutely delighted with The Barn.”

It is a lovely cottage with every need catered for. It was very quiet in the evening and at night time, although the main road could be quite busy during the day. The enclosed garden is wonderful if you have a dog, it's the best one we've found. The cottage was clean and well equipped, the shower excellent, a lovely big TV and good parking facilities. The owners kindly left us some milk and cake which was most appreciated after a long journey. We will definitely be returning to The Barn, highly recommended.

- Mrs Willis, August 2020
Mr Weeks August 2020

“It's a fantastic area for anyone with a dog and looking for a quiet area to get away and chilll but also plenty of places to go if you are looking for something to do.”

We will hopefully be back next year again.

- Mr Weeks, August 2020
Miss Buckett July 2020

“We loved our holiday home.”

It was comfortable, clean, homely and as soon as I saw the property and garden with the surrounding fields I felt relaxed. It had everything we needed and I wouldn’t hesitate in going back.

- Miss Buckett, July 2020
Dr Blair December 2019

“We had a wonderful time in The Barn over Christmas and it was very clean, warm and cosy!”

The owner had left us a home baked cake and had also added Christmas decorations around the flat, including a small Christmas tree which were very nice touches! We used The Barn as a base for walking around Yorkshire and visiting York. It is situated in a quiet location about 15-20 minutes drive from York and with easy access to the Yorkshire countryside. Having the two bathrooms was definitely a bonus as there were four of us plus our hound. The owner of the cottage was very helpful and checked that everything was okay the day after we arrived.

- Dr Blair, December 2019
Mr Bones December 2019

“Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to family bereavement.”

The owner greeted us on arrive and could not be more helpful. The cottage was very clean with facilities as described. The village of Stamford Bridge was about 1 1/2 mile away with a fully stocked Coop. York was about 15 min drive away as was a good garden centre at Shiptonthorpe. The area was very Dog friendly as was The Barn and garden centre. There are many Dog friendly shops in York and several places where can take your dog in while you have a meal. Ultimate question would we return? YES it was brilliant. Dave & Margaret Bones

- Mr Bones, December 2019

- Mrs Walker, November 2019

- Mr Seymour, November 2018
Mrs Kirk August 2018

“A great base for exploring around York.”

Due to fab weather we did lots of outside things. A trip to the beach and Brimham Rocks were highlights. The owner of The Barn was lovely, very friendly and helpful.

Mr Hopkinson April 2017

“Very warm welcome from our hosts”

- Mr Hopkinson, April 2017
Mrs Ford August 2016

“If you could pass this request onto the owner it might be something that is considered for the future.”

"The garden was absolutely great for the dog - ours was still a pup and we needed the security. The garden had a gate but there was nothing to secure it from inside the garden. I don't think we would have thought about it until the neighbour in the other cottage tried to come in whilst the dog was in the garden. He wanted to ask us something and thought it would be ok to come in. After that we secured the gate with a spare dog lead. Perhaps the owner could fit a bolt lock for added security - not just for dogs but for children too"! Cannot fault anything else about the property or area it was excellent. Thank you

- Mrs Ford, August 2016
Mrs White April 2016

“A lovely cottage which was well equipped and very clean.”

The secure garden was great for the dog. Highly recommended.

- Mrs White, April 2016
Miss Cooper September 2015

Miss Maldzinski July 2015

“What a perfect break in stunning surroundings, a lovely barn and garden area.”

- Miss Maldzinski, July 2015
Ms Forster June 2015

“The cottage was exceptionally clean and really comfortable.”

The hosts have furnished and equipped The Barn to feel like a real 'home from home', and the garden was really great for the dog. I would definitely recommend The Barn to anyone looking for a rural retreat within easy reach of York and the coast.

- Mrs Jones-Gerrard, September 2014
Mrs Ridley September 2014

“Excellent accommodation in a very quiet part of the country, although only a couple of miles from a village and another mile or so to local shops, pubs/restaurants etc.”

Owners were close by and very helpful and pleasant. Lovely cake, milk left in the kitchen for us on arrival. Would definitely recommend. Weather was very kind to us.

- Mrs Ridley, September 2014

“The cottage was great, and there was lots to do in York.”

- Miss Reid, October 2013
Mrs Mcmeekin October 2013

“We loved the situation, in the country but handy for York and the coast.”

The cottage had all we needed. We liked the walk in shower in our en-suite, and the i-pod deck, books and dominoes. We had a couple of meals in the Gold Cup in the next village (Low Catton) which were very good. Best day out was to Whitby; about an hour and a quarter's drive away. We would happily come here again.

- Mrs Mcmeekin, October 2013

About the location

STAMFORD BRIDGE

York 8.5 miles.

Stamford Bridge, as its name suggests, was a fording point over the River Derwent for a Roman settlement. Nowadays, it is a village with a selection of shops and restaurants and is notable for a renovated railway viaduct, which is now used as a cycle and public footpath. The village is well known as the site of the Battle of Stamford Bridge on 25th September 1066, which marked the end of the Viking era in Britain. Within easy reach are the pretty Yorkshire market towns of Malton, Beverley and Driffield and within an hour’s drive is the unspoilt coastal resort of Filey with open beaches and the nearby RSPB nature reserve at Bempton.
