Description

Thirsk 7.1 miles.

The Hay Barn sits on a quiet working farm in the small village of Holme, giving guests a true taste of the North Yorkshire countryside.

It’s a relaxed, pet‑friendly cottage with plenty of space, making it ideal for families and friends wanting a comfortable base with a bit of luxury.

Head indoors to discover a kitchen/diner, fully equipped with all the essentials you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or a delightful evening meal.

Gather around the dining table to enjoy your culinary creations, sharing stories of the day's adventures and planning what adventures are to follow!

After dinner, the sitting room will call out for you to relax, where you can sink into the plush sofas and tune into the TV, while the woodburning stove crackles in the background, adding a touch of warmth and charm to your evenings.

The rear garden is one of the many highlights of the property, boasting a spacious lawn where your four-legged friends can stretch their legs.

On top of this, a private hot tub for a soothing evening under the orange glow of the North Yorkshire sunset is sure to complete a memorable day.

As the night draws in, find three well-presented bedrooms, each boasting its own en-suite facilities for added convenience.

Choose from a king bedroom, a double bedroom, or a third twin, perfect for children or friends.

Once you're settled in, venture beyond to appreciate the simplicity of rural life.

Visit the fascinating World Of James Herriot, a museum dedicated to the famed writer-vet, before spending an afternoon at Thorp Perrow, marvelling at an extensive collection of trees in the arboretum and meeting an array of birds of prey and mammals.

Sporty guests can enjoy a round amongst the greenery at Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club.

Admire the regal Newby Hall, a truly majestic stately home blanketed by beautiful gardens and a tranquil river.

Board the charming Wensleydale Railway at Leeming Bar Station for an authentic glimpse into yesteryears with wistful views of the Yorkshire Dales.

Immerse yourself in Ripon, with a peaceful stroll through Ripon Spa Gardens and an enlightening visit to Ripon Workhouse Museum shedding light on past lives.

From historical exploration to fun-filled nature encounters, your stay at The Hay Barn promises a memorable retreat in glorious North Yorkshire.

The property was really good and very comfortable.

Only had two very small gripes. The stables next door had two local parking spaces allocated to it whereas the Haybarn had two remote parking spaces. This was a bit inconvenient and I would suggest giving both properties one local and one remote space each. The second thing was the local community EV charger which was a 22kw and charged at 88p per unit. This is the current rate for a superfast charger and I thought this could be much lower as we visited a similar property the following week. The charge there was only 45p. Anyway the property was very good and we had an excellent holiday.
