• "Such an amazing cottage!"

  It has everything you need and the owner is friendly and knowledgable, responded straight away to queries and left us to enjoy the cottage in peace. Have been to lots of cottages, this was the best bed I’ve slept in! The shower is fantastic too. There’s lots of puzzles and games, but if you just want to chill with the TV, it has all the streaming channels. Kitchen is small but perfectly formed with everything you need, but take everything you need, there’s no oil, herbs etc as storage is on the kitchen worktop, so nowhere for previous renters to leave items for the next guests. The views are wonderful, and I really enjoyed watching the sun rise from my bed each morning. It’s only 5 mins by car into Northallerton, 15 mins to Thirsk, and there’s loads around to do and see. I cannot recommend The Barn enough. It’s been heavenly, and I plan to return as soon as I can.

• "The holiday property is lovely."

  Eveything you needed to use , the bed was a bit to high for me but very comfortable one in it . Hot tub was good nice to get into after being out all day Easy access to Northallerton town and other places. The only thing I would say it would be nice to a cupboard for food rather than on the work tops . Definitely would recommend to friends to go stay

  Well equipped, very cosy and an excellent base for exploring North Yorkshire. Very clean and comfortable and the hot tub was a very welcome way to de-stress when dealing with a house move! A few minor maintenance issues but quickly resolved when we raised them. Thanks.

  The cottage is beaut8 equipped and well located to explore the local area( Approximately an hour to Whitby, Richmond and York). The hot tub was an essential part of the booking for us as we knew it would be a welcome end to a days exploring. It is a working farm, so expect a little smell at times but go and say hello to the llamas, horses and goats! Great location, lovely cottage.

• "Excellent facilities including games room and hot tub."

  Disappointed no recycling. Lovely property in excellent surroundings. Would be happy to recommend to anyone.

  All of our waste is sent to Yorewaste at Thirsk where it is sorted for recycling . During Covid we were re- assessed by the council on collection of separated waste , our nine recycling bins were replaced by a skip which we pay for extra and is sorted off site . It is not my preferred choice to be treated as a commercial property, I explain this frequently to all my guests and would prefer visible recycling for my guests to see . Property Owner

  We were given a warm and generous welcome. The Barn was incredibly well equipped. Pleasantly surprised how much was included in the barn, even things like dishwasher tablets and toilet roll. Lovely and clean. The hot tub felt great after a day walking about. My 9 year old could have spent all day looking at the farm animals, and petting Maxwell. Highlight of her trip! (We did double check a baby goat hadn't been stashed in the car before leaving!!). Really handy location, only couple of minutes into Northallerton and the railway station. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others to visit. Thanks again!

  The accommodation was excellent and very peaceful surroundings. Cliff the owner was very informative and gave us details of local walks to do in the surrounding area including Highparadise and Richmond which we enjoyed then returning back to the Barn and relaxing in the Hot Tub in the evening was a bonus. The Barn is close to Northallerton for all your needs and its within easy reach of Whitby and the North Yorkshire Railway should you fancy a trip on a Steam train and Goathland was worth a visit if only just to see the station and where Heartbeat filmed as Aidensfield. Depending on time of year RSPB Bempton Cliffs is worth a visit to see breeding Puffins and beautiful Gannets. The welcome hamper went down a treat and we would have no hesitation in recommending The Barn to friends and family as a great place to stay. Thank you x

  Love the feedback, it’s great to have a good idea where you’re going before you arrive and plan as you did, I’m still useful for a few other places .

  It was in a central location to be able to access the Dales and the Moors. The Barn itself was perfect for our family of 4. We were given a fabulous welcome from the owner who shared ideas for days out and places to eat. There was also a welcome hamper which was very appreciated.

  The Barn was very clean and comfortable and well appointed. The views starting at the front door were stunning, including the sunsets. There is a good space for car parking right by the property. One tiny thing to mention is that the freezer is small and the French Windows stick so we left them closed rather than force them open. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay and recommend the property.

• "The property and facilities were generally very good."

  The property could do with a small amount of general maintenance to correct things like a bedroom door that doesn’t stay shut and a loose toilet seat. Hot tub very nice. The biggest downside for us was the fact that on Monday morning at 6am work started to take the chickens away for slaughter. Lots of noise and then an appalling smell as the sheds are cleared out. No mention in the listing of how close the barn and other properties are to the chicken sheds! Less than 100m. That spoilt the stay as we couldn’t stay outside because of the smell.

  I apologise for your misunderstanding of the concept of a “working farm”, which is clearly stated in the description . This is part of what makes the accommodation unique with many of our returning guests . I understand the countryside is not for everyone, I did note your concerns on the 1st June before you had even arrived, I hope your next holiday is satisfactory and you can relax , the toilet seat is to your liking and is well away from farm activities and here Property Owner

Cliff the host was amazing; just couldn't do enough to make sure our stay was the best it could be, even cutting short his Christmas dinner to sort out the hot tub. Being a big lover of all animals, I enjoyed popping round to the shed to see the goats and Rheas, and fussing Maxwell, Cliffs dog .

  The barn is just spot on, exceptionally clean, comfortable, plenty of pots and crockery to facilitate self catering , the bed is very comfortable, bathroom huge, and then the added bonus of the hot tub under cover, what more could you ask for, except maybe a lovely welcome pack with wine chocolates, biscuits etc........which there was one waiting for us! Clifford is very friendly and welcoming and full of information about local places to visit, and his side kick Maxwell was always very pleased to see people. We had fun feeding the goats, llamas and rhea's. The barn is ideally situated 1.5 mile away from the town of Northallerton, where there is everything you could wish for, shops bars and cafes, The Garthway cafe, is well worth a visit for a cup of tea and scone. The barn is also ideally located for visiting other places of interest nearby, such as Thirsk, Richmond ,Whitby and lovely walks from Kilburn.

  It was clean, tidy, comfortable and had great facilities. It is around an hour's drive from a lot of great stuff in North Yorkshire. The hot tub wasn't the reason we chose this cottage but it was a great addition. We spent most evenings in it, with a cold drink. The kids absolutely loved it. We only had two issues with the Barn. One was an issue with the hot water, and as soon as Cliff was made aware of it he arranged for it to be sorted and offered us discounted tickets to the Forbidden Corner by way of an apology. The second was that there wasn't really anywhere to dry clothes. A whirlygig would really make all the difference. These are, though, minor issues and wouldn't stop us going back to the Barn. We absolutely would go back there again, and highly recommend it. We went to Flamingo Land, Eden Camp and Scarborough (twice). Darlington is half an hour up the road and offered cinemas, shopping and places to go and eat. We went to Whitby but were not all that impressed with it. We mixed a lot in to our week away. I honestly feel that after a week, there was still a lot we didn't have time to see.

Of the ‘things to do’ Kiplin Hall is well worth a visit, however The Forbidden Corner whilst excellent for kids is disappointing for us concession ticket qualifiers who would have benefited from ‘concession maps’ NOT available!

  The welcome basket was unexpected but such a nice surprise and I must say very generous. The owner ( sorry I forgot his name ) was very friendly and happy to give tips on all things local and if there were any problems he would be there to help , which is all you can ask. On clear days the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular ( especially the sunrises which could be seen straight out the bedroom window) . Northallerton was just over a mile down the road and had a lot of diverse shops to wander through, also a market on Saturdays and Wednesdays , you could park in Tesco free for 2 hours or there’s a private car park for all day parking for between £1:50 and £2 ( Saturday). Northallerton is in a perfect spot for visiting numerous places we enjoyed visiting Bedale , Richmond, Ripon and Thirsk. So I would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday let .

  The owner was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. The property is located quite central to a lot of the major cities. We would definitely look to rebook The Barn again in the future.

• "Stop looking around and book this place NOW!"

  It’s amazing! I’m a really really demanding customer who spends forever to find the perfect place to stay! This place was perfect! The pictures do not do it justice at all. They are all accurate, but I don’t think they quiet capture just how nice this place is. It was much larger then we expected! The facilities are unreal! There is everything you could wish for in the kitchen! The cupboards are stocked full of games and DVD’s. The furnishings are very high spec and the bedding is stunning! All top quality! This was a very last minute booking and the place was immaculate and spotless! We even had a very generous welcome hamper, consisting of a bottle of Cava, a jar of coffee, some delicious biscuits and a large back of Tyrell’s potatoes chips! The hot tub was immaculate wand nicely bubbling away when we arrived! It’s great to use on a cold winters night. The views are stunning and their is so much todo within a short driving distance. Takeaways will easily deliver, or there is a Tesco Supermarket only 5 mins drive away! There are also some beautiful restaurants and pubs in Northallerton 5 mins away on the high street which is really cute and quaint. We would tell everyone to book this place, but I do hope it’s availabile for us to return as often as we would like! You are going to be delighted if you stay here!

• "Lovely cottage."

  Well equipped with lots of games and DVDs and everything you need. Lots of little touches like apple chargers etc that were available if needed. An unexpected welcome pack was provided - biscuits, cakes, chocolate, wine etc which was a nice surprise. The "disco hot tub" was great - equipped with music and lights. Friendly owner who ensured we had everything we needed and gave us advice on places to visit. Even gave us some free tickets for Flamingo Land that he had so we had a free day out. Love the animals on the farm - Llamas, Rheas and the dogs. Maxwell the dog came bounding towards us every time we returned back to the cottage wanting a cuddle. Would definitely recommend this cottage especially if you have children,
