The barn has everything you need for a relaxing break, it is very well laid out, modern and clean, the beds are also very comfy with excellent ensuite shower facilities, there is plenty of room for a mixture of ages if your going with family as we did, and also the dog of course....it is also a great location to get to many places to visit..eg Thirsk, Harrogate, Masham and the lovely National trust site, Fountains Abby and Studley Royal Water Garden which is definitely worth a day trip out.The owner and family were helpful when needed but left us alone to enjoy our break.We will be back I am sure.
