Brian’s Barns - Mulberry Cottage

Working farmland and the sweep of the Yorkshire Wolds surround Mulberry Cottage, one of three conversions on a quiet holding near Skerne village in the East Riding. The property is configured as a main barn and a separate annexe, allowing flexibility for large groups—think multi-generational trips or friends sharing without being forced into communal spaces.

The main building's upper floor is given over to an open-plan living area with exposed brick, original beams, a wood burner and TV, and a kitchen fit for cooking proper meals rather than heating takeaways. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are split across both levels: upstairs, a kingsize with its own roll-top bath; downstairs, two doubles and a separate shower room. The annexe holds a fourth bedroom with zip-and-link beds and an en-suite. Heating is biomass-based, bed linen and towels come with the booking, and Wi-Fi reaches throughout. An enclosed patio fronts the property, furnished for outdoor sitting and home to the hot tub, which fits six. Parking for two cars is on site. Pets stay free, though the house operates a no-smoking policy.

This setup suits families wanting space to spread out, or groups where some members prefer quieter arrangements. The village setting and rural surroundings are genuinely quiet; exploring the wider East Riding from here is straightforward.
