• "What a wonderful barn!"

  The generous hamper and communication from the owners made us feel extremely welcome. Upstairs the 5 bedrooms are spacious, the large beds are comfortable and there are plenty of bathrooms / showers. Downstairs offers 4 reception areas as well as the garden & patio, so as a large family we didn’t feel crowded. It was easy to cater & seat everyone in the large dinning / living kitchen. The single bedroom off the kitchen was perfect for 91 year old grandad. The owners have thought of everything from brollies for rainy days to fans for hot days , crocs for the hot tub , bowls for pets , stair gates for children. Would highly recommend this beautiful barn.

• "The barn and grounds are amazing, lovely and spacious and clean."

  Blown away with welcome pack - a proper one for the whole group was provided with a giant cake, overflowing into both fridges & thank you for the lovely card. Hot tub was perfectly maintained throughout our our stay too. The whole barn in well planned for an intergenerational stay with dogs, with pull out dog gates for the stairs at top and bottom, and gates on patio and wider grounds. Excellently appointed kitchen with plenty of everything. Nothing overlooked, plenty of seating, towels and gowns. The dogs were tired happy and we walked all the colour coded nature trail routes on the farm in the book, and regularly saw many deer, bird of prey hare and the neighbourly barn owl, before finishing with fetch in the garden to give them a run. We possibly a kingfisher too, couple of flashes of blue at least. The barn is a short drive away from borough bridge with many take aways - we collected from the dinner box Chinese one night which was very nice, and enjoyed the water falls on the first day.We didn't get there but apparently on Friday there is a great open mic night. Loads of days out within a 30mins drive. The residents on the farm were really nice, happy for a chat when you walked by. We were granted permission for my husband to chip some golf balls fields too - which made him also a happy bunny.... If you need anything communication is fast and nothing too much trouble. Fantastic stay. Thank you very much everyone.x

• "First impressions were great!"

  And it just got better. Louise was a fantastic help and at the end of the phone for us. Leon sorted any problems we had, and topped up our logs. As a stag do of 15 guys, not one had a bad word to say and at least 13/14 of them came up to me personally to say how amazing the house was. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch. Excellent stay, excellent host. Thank you.

• "The barn is an amazing holiday home."

  Absolutely stunning with everything you need included. Tastefully decorated to a very high standard, the bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. The disabled bedroom is very well equipped with a carer sofa bed close by if needed. The property directory is full of all the information you need, everything is considered. The welcome pack is first class. We enjoyed the hot tub, bbq, toasting marshmallows on the firepit, games room, garden and surrounding area too. If you are considering The Barn, you will not be dissapointed. It is fabulous. Our family of 13 had an amazing weekend.

• "Three generations of us, from 5 years old to 73, had a great stay at The Barn."

  Children and adults alike enjoyed the games room and the comfy extra TV space in that area. The kitchen had every piece of equipment we could have wanted, with the second fridge and utility space a real bonus. Never before had quite such a generous welcome pack in many years of self catering! Plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds and robes. Everywhere was very clean. We enjoyed running or walking on paths around the farm, and of course, lazing in the lovely hot tub! We would all be very happy to return.

  Dear Sue, thank you for your comments. It was a first for us, a 50th anniversary, a real pleasure. Lovely to see all of you enjoying the walks on the farm, best wishes, Leon Property Owner

  From the minute we walked in we knew we’d hit the jackpot! It’s amazing. The quality of the furnishings, pots, pans, bedding, towels etc was first class. The welcome hamper was beautiful, even goodies for the dogs. The balloon display for my birthday was a total surprise and very much appreciated. The communication from Louise before we arrived was dealt with quickly and efficiently, nothing too much trouble. The walks around the farm were great and the information and history folder was very informative. Bathrobes were provided for us all and a basket full of crocs for the hot tubs saved us having to bring any! It’s these little touches that make for a great stay. If you’re thinking of booking The Barn…do it!!!

  It was a pleasure to host fellow farmers, with such lovely dogs. Good luck with the solar farm! Sorry it waas so wet, best wishes, L & L Property Owner

• "We had a fabulous Xmas 4 day stay at The Barn with close family and friends."

  The building is huge and beautifully decorated throughout and a Xmas themed hamper greeted us on arrival with a tray of fresh eggs. The Barn has a well equipped kitchen so preparing and serving a Xmas meal for our guests was a doddle as we had everything we needed to hand. The accessible bedroom/wet room on the ground floor accommodated our 87yr old granny and we had ample room to spread out and enjoy the beautiful countryside views from the huge windows on the ground floor or just chill out in front of the TV. Leon and Louise responded promptly to our enquiries, making us feel welcome and at home. A magical Xmas making memories with our nearest and dearest and we would highly recommend if looking for premium accommodation at a decent rate. Thank you for having us Leon and Louise and all the best for 2026.

  Thank you so much for your kind comments Julia. It was a pleasure to meet your family. It was lovely to see the generations of you family celebrating a special time together. We appreciate your feedback, thank you, Leon Property Owner

• "Our first impression on arriving at The Barn was Wow!"

  ! Beautiful entrance hall lit up with Christmas tree and lights decorating the stairs and landing. Looked amazing. Walking into the living/dining area we were stunned to find a magnificent welcome pack, so thoughtful. The kitchen was so well equipped, we had everything we needed. The Barn delighted in all aspects, plenty of room to spread out. The games room was a huge hit with all and the hot tub was enjoyed by some of my party. Crocs and robes were provided. Upstairs the wow factor continued, bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent. We would highly recommend using The Barn, we were a group of mixed ages, from 68 to 4 , we all had the best weekend. Thank you for having us.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It is such a pleasure to host family groups and freinds at the barn. Would be lovely to see you again, best wishes, Louise and Leon Property Owner

  In short the facilities are superb - everything you need to look after yourselves is provided. A big thank you to Louise and Leon for the welcome hamper, cake, bubbly and card. Special mention must be made of the huge farm eggs; I had not seen a double yolker in over 50 years, but we had 6. We would highly recommend the venue if you need somewhere to get the family or friends together.

  Dear Barry, we are are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Shame some of your party could not come from Cyprus, perhaps another time! Just before you arrived our high welfare free range poultry farm won the national sustainable and biodiversity poultry farm of the year award, for all the diverse wildlife areas we have created. Our happy gilrs do lay some big ones! 50 years wow, a real trip down memeory lane, best wishes, Louise and Leon Property Owner

• "We had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Barn to celebrate our wedding, and it exceeded every expectation!"

  From the moment I arrived, I was in awe of how charming and beautifully restored the property is. The blend of rustic charm with modern amenities makes it the perfect getaway for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle while still enjoying all the comforts of home. The welcome hamper left for us was an unexpected surprise, really personalised and thoughtful. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the outdoor areas are perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or jumping in the hot tub in the evening. The owners have thought of every detail and were available if we needed. It truly feels like a home away from home. The property is dog friendly and is fenced all round, so you don't have to worry about your four legged friend, when having adventures outside. I also loved how quiet and peaceful the location is—such a serene and tranquil environment. It was the perfect spot to recharge, but also close enough to nearby attractions for easy day trips to Harrogate or York. I took several walks around the property, from the suggested walks in the handy 'things to do' book. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect. If you're looking for a unique, peaceful, and unforgettable stay, The Barn is the place to be. I would 100% book again, pictures don't do this property justice. Thank you for letting us stay!

• "Every year we book a dog-friendly holiday cottage to accommodate the whole family."

  This year we decided to try The Barn. When we arrived there was a fantastic welcome pack like I have never seen before. The place was clean, light and airy with plenty of living and sleeping space for all of us. Parking was easy, and the garden was secure enough to be able to let our dog out. With the open nature walks just outside our door, the hot tub, games room and a few good pubs within 4 miles, we all had the most natural relaxing break ever. The price also compared well to what I had paid in previous years. Of all the holiday accommodation we have booked over the past 10 years, The Barn is by far the best.

• "3 words absolutely amazing, breathtaking and stunning, this barn has everything you need under 1 roof."

  We stayed there as 10 couples and this worked perfectly. I would recommend this barn to anyone that wants a perfect time away to make special memories, this was for my boyfriend’s 50th birthday it was special in every way, every guest said it’s out of this world and a magical weekend away. The owner and staff of the barn go above and beyond to make sure their guests, are looked after with the best service & products. Even down to the little touches of having a different animal for each room love it. I would definitely go back. The barn is not to far from York which is a massive plus and so much to do and see around the barn hot tub, games room BBQ etc what more can people ask for. If your thinking of booking don’t think to long just get it book. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you

  We enjoyed a family walk around some of the grounds where we spotted a couple of different birds of prey, including a Goshawk. Then my partner and I bumped into Leo on a night walk to try and catch the sunset and he offered us a ride around the reserve and told us all about his plans to retain the natural beauty and diversity of the ground. I would highly recommend visiting.

  There were 11 of us and the accommodation provides plenty of crockery, pans, etc. The beds and furniture are very comfortable and good quality. The property was quite warm with it being summer but lots of electric fans are provided. Louise arrived daily to check and maintain the hot tub, this ensures that it is running correctly and it is clean and hygienic, but she does her best to not disturb you whilst doing this. We had a request which was fulfilled very quickly even on a Bank Holiday Monday as the staff live nearby and are there within a few minutes. Any queries are answered promptly if telephoning. Overall we had a brilliant stay and Louise was lovely.

  The place is stunning and has everything you need for the perfect getaway. It offers so much more than somewhere to stay as a large group. There are many special touches that just elevate the experience further including robes and even crocs for the hot tub! The hot tub is the perfect place to relax after a walk around the nature reserve and the kids particularly enjoyed seeing the horses, goats and sheep on site. On arrival, we were over the moon with the welcome basket. The eggs were delicious and almost every one had a double yolk! The cake was also a lovely treat as we were celebrating a 40th birthday. Leon and Louise were such welcoming and helpful hosts who were simply a pleasure to meet. The Barn is a wonderful holiday home that you should be be immensely proud of. The group enjoyed it so much that we were looking to book a return trip before our weekend was even over! I cannot recommend The Barn highly enough. Thank you for such a special and memorable stay. My advice to others: Book The Barn. You will not be disappointed.
