Mr Round August 2020

“This is very nice holiday cottage located in the countryside near the pretty village of Thornton-le-Dale; it is a good location for visiting the city of York or the coastal towns of Whitby, Scarborough & Filey (Castle Howard is also close by as is Dalby Forest if you like walking etc).”

The cottage is well-equipped, clean and comfortable - absolutely no adverse comments to make about the place or facilities. Thanks.

- Mr Round, August 2020
Mrs Scott July 2020

“The cottage is immaculate and in a great location.”

Due to covid the appliance books had gone. A little basic guide stuck to the wall would help. Garlic press and measuring jug would be great

- Mrs Scott, July 2020
Mr Kane November 2019

“Excellent and cosy accommodation and all the facilities needed for self catering.”

Security for dog also.

- Mr Kane, November 2019
Mrs Palmer September 2019

“The accommodation was really good but unfortunately I was disturbed by revving engines and other mechanical noises from the farm machinery being worked on directly behind the property at 7.”

45 and 8am on 2 occasions during the week. Whilst this might not be early for some customers, it was for me as I was looking for lie-ins over my holiday as I don't usually get them at home. It might be useful to customers to know there may be farm machinery noise at these times.

- Mrs Palmer, September 2019
Mr Stewart July 2019

“The barn was very clean.”

Beds were very comfy. There was a separate shower and bath. The shower was brilliant with great water pressure. Kids loved being able to run out in the court yard and we also had a private garden out the back. Steven was fantastic at making recommendations for places to go and eat. Nothing was too much trouble not that we had any issues as the barn had everything you could possibly need.

- Mr Stewart, July 2019
Mr Cooper June 2019

“Very nice comfy ideal location can not fault the place will be back .”

- Mr Cooper, June 2019
Mr Arnold June 2019

- Mr Arnold, June 2019
Mrs Little June 2019

“We were so impressed when we walked in, the barn was definitely the nicest place we’ve stayed at.”

- Mrs Little, June 2019
Mrs Taylor May 2019

“Our 2nd visit to The Barn at High Grundon.”

As before, clean, warm, comfortable and everything you need for a quiet, relaXing stay. Thornton le Dale only 5 minutes away with local shops and great food at The New Inn.

- Mrs Taylor, May 2019
Mrs Cragg May 2019

“A super place, spotless clean and comfortable.”

It was home from home. Owners couldn't do enough to be helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this holiday home.

- Mrs Cragg, May 2019
Mr Smith March 2019

“A most welcoming Barn cottage which was warm and cosy on arrival.”

Everything you needed was supplied, including a “Welcome Pack” of milk, tea, coffee and cookies. Would certainly recommend to anybody looking for a quiet retreat getaway or longer stay travelling the moors and coastal areas which are on your door step. Would certainly recommend the 840 Coast bus across moors from Thornton Le Dale to Whitby, an excellent day out. A good time was had with excellent weather for the time of year.

- Mr Smith, March 2019
Miss Smith February 2019

“Beautiful clean cottage!”

Took our dog and a 2 year old and ample space to play with toys and put up the cot. Thornton le dale and Pickering are lovely traditional Yorkshire towns with dog friendly pubs and restaurants not far from the cottage but you'll need your car. Also not far from Scarborough, Filey and Whitby. Pickering is where you can catch the steam railway too which dogs are also allowed on. Our son loved the fact the cottage was on a farm as he loves tractors. We'll absolutely be back it's been a lovely week.

- Miss Smith, February 2019
Mrs Taylor February 2019

“A wonderful cottage, definitely home from home with everything you need.”

Clean, warm, comfortable and quiet. We'll definitely be going again.

- Mrs Taylor, February 2019
Mr Smallbone February 2019

“Hoilday cottage the barn was amazing warm cosy and so clean a must stay cottage so near everything and so relaxing”

- Mr Smallbone, February 2019
Mrs Mackintosh December 2018

“We had a really comfortable, relaxing break at The Barn it was so clean and well equipped.”

We stayed Monday until Friday morning it is well placed for visits to Whitby, Pickering, Beverley and Goathland. It was just what we needed and visiting Whitby in the winter is a special experience everyone was lovelyand very dog friendly. It’s so nice to be able to go into cafes which allow dogs, we found Whitby to be very dog focused which ensures that we will return. Some of the small shops were closed during the winter but that did not ditract from our overall enjoyment. We would definitely return!

- Mrs Mackintosh, December 2018
Mr Greeves November 2018

“Absolutely lovely cottage, very homely, well equipped, home from home, and in a rural farm location but well placed for touring the North Moors area.”

Would definitely return

- Mr Greeves, November 2018
Mrs Jinks October 2018

“We have just had a wonderful 5 day stay in the barn and found it a very peaceful place to stay.”

Everything we needed was in the barn. Comfortable bed and heating and hot water. Fresh milk and biscuits on arrival was a lovely touch. The barn was situated in a lovely area and near to the beautiful Thornton-le-Dale and the moors and within easy reach of the coast which we covered. Whitby and Robins Hood bay well worth a visit and Goathland. There are plenty of good eating places around near to the barn. The owner of the barn Rita was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend the barn and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you very much to the owners.

- Mrs Jinks, October 2018
Mrs Bullman September 2018

“This is the second time we have stayed at The Barn and it was just as lovely as the first.”

Very clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. A real home from home.

- Mrs Bullman, September 2018
Miss Cahill August 2018

“Lovely place really close to lots of beautiful villages.”

Would highly recommend.

- Miss Cahill, August 2018
Ross August 2018

“Holidayed abroad for years.”

Having a new puppy ment a different holiday this year, and this holiday surpassed traveling abroad, so relaxing, and chilled. Close proximity to the beautiful coastline, loads to do Dalby Forest, Castle Howard, and Flamingo Land. On arrival tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits, The Barn had everything we could have wanted and more, every detail had been thought of. I can’t recommend this property enough, with its friendly helpful owners, and magnificent location. Will be returning.

- Ross, August 2018

- Mrs Ormsby, July 2018
Mrs Ranshaw June 2018

wessy May 2018

“Absolutely great place”

We stayed for a few days at The Barn with our daughter and granddaughter. We totally enjoyed our stay in this quiet place, yet so near to many attractions. The place was spotless. Kitchen spot on with everything you wanted to cook at home. The bedrooms were cosy and the beds so comfortable. The family bathroom was big with a bath ( loved by daughter for her soaks ).....and the shower I loved it, the water temperature was easy to manage and the water stayed in the large shower, not all over the floor as has happened to us many times. Games provided and a section of books. Totally recommend this place...give it a try

- wessy, May 2018
