THE BARN SLEEPS 6

We welcome you with fresh flowers from the farm, beautiful eggs from our chickens and home baking to make your stay extra special. Perfectly made beds and the gentle sounds of the Tawny Owls ensure a really good night’s sleep. The wood burning stove will keep you cosy so you can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of this special area. Our spacious, characterful, self-catering barn sleeps six. The accommodation is on two levels; upstairs there are two twin bedrooms and one king-sized room which has ample space for a cot. Also upstairs there are two bathrooms, one with a bath, hand basin and toilet and the other with a shower, toilet and hand basin.

The downstairs space comprises a large open-plan sitting room and dining room with a large open fireplace at one end. This leads directly onto the large well appointed kitchen making it a very practical and sociable space, especially suited to families. Leading off the kitchen is a utility room with a washing machine and plenty of space for drying wet clothes and boots.

Double patio doors lead off the dining space onto the private, East facing garden terrace with fabulous views over woodland and lakes. Outside dining table and chairs are provided. Lots of space for family and friend’s get togethers. Logs, home produced eggs, honey and lamb available to purchase from the farm.

For younger guests we provide a travel cot, high chair, changing mat, toys (including bath toys), bath towels, bath seat, potty and a travel steriliser.

We have a pond dipping platform which is great fun. You can hire the kit and go by yourselves to explore or book a session with me to guide you through your finds. We also have wildlife and star gazing binoculars available to hire.

Board games, jigsaws, books, magazines, DVDs, walking maps and leaflets, and wifi all make staying in by the fire a real treat.

We welcome well behaved dogs, maximum two per booking, at a charge of £20 for one dog, £30 for two dogs per booking. We also accept horses at a cost of £6 per horse per night. At the moment we can only offer grazing and not stabling. You can have exclusive use of a paddock a short walk from the house. If you wish to subdivide the field please bring your own electric fencing. A large indoor barn is available for tying up, grooming, storage etc. Wheelbarrow, tools and buckets will be provided. Hay and straw can be purchased. A bridleway goes right through the yard so you can ride straight from the farm and enjoy local pubs and cafes within riding distance.

Please note that the garden is not secure and we have free range chickens who potter about the yard and sometimes the garden of the holiday cottage, and there are often sheep in the field in front of the cottage. There is a wall with a drop on the far side into the field and there are stone slab steps leading down to the garden from the patio doors.

We are well located for exploring the Howardian Hills, the North York Moors National Park, the City of York, the coast, and a bit further afield, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Nidderdale AONB, Harrogate and Ripon. Malton is nine miles away and is becoming Yorkshire's food capital with a Food Lovers Festival at the end of May and vibrant monthly food markets. Castle Howard is a mile and a half as the crow flies and the enchanting abbeys of Rievaulx, Byland and Fountains are close by. Yorkshire Lavender is on the outskirts of the village, there is a very good shop in the village and many lovely cafes around. Local market towns are bustling with a terrific variety of cafes, independent shops, butchers and green grocers.

HOME COMFORTS

From fluffy towels to perfectly made up beds we pride ourselves on providing you with comfortable basics. You will be welcomed with local fresh flowers, eggs and baking to make your stay extra special. Our open fire will keep you cosy, alongside central heating.

"This is a super place to base yourself, whether to share with family & friends or just have as your base. It is spacious & well equipped for a summer or winter stay (we have done both!) The location is such that the National Parks & other outdoor adventures are equidistant sightseeing or shopping around York. Perfect!"
