Nellies Shed

Nellies Shed is a converted barn with the original character you'd expect—exposed beams run through the living spaces, and the layout takes full advantage of what was once farm buildings. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it practical for a group of six, with the ground floor holding two bedrooms plus an ensuite, and the first floor opened up into a combined living, dining and kitchen area. One well-behaved dog can stay free of charge.

The kitchen has everything needed for self-catering: electric oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge and microwave, plus a washer dryer for longer stays. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and heating are all covered. The real draw is the private hot tub in the enclosed front garden, positioned for six people to use while overlooking the patio. There's parking for three cars on the drive.

The location suits families wanting to explore the Yorkshire Wolds, with the historic town of Beverley seven miles away and York within reach. Walkers and cyclists find the countryside around here rewarding. A pub, shop and restaurant sit just two miles off. No smoking inside the property.
