What a stunning place! We loved everything here. The owners form the beginning were great, very helpful and left some gorgeous little extras for the pooches which was lovely. The surrounding area is lovely lots of little pubs and walks. The barn itself is stunning. So clean and beautifully decorated and furnished. The hot tub was just lovely with the most amazing view! We will definitely return!

This is an absolutely stunning property set in a beautiful quite village approx 15 miles from Whitby
This is an absolutely stunning property set in a beautiful quite village approx 15 miles from Whitby. We stayed as a group of friends and the attention to detail in this property is stunning, you can see all the love and care that has gone into this renovation. All rooms were finished to a very high spec, the photos really don't do it justice. The hot tub is huge and fit five of us really easily. We did a couple of local walks and the views were amazing. We finished back at the local pub, The Fox and Hounds and whilst we didn't eat there it really is only a few minutes walk from Swallow Barn. Anna and Andy were there to greet us on arrival and a lovely couple. We are already planning to return next year .
