Big Barn is a converted 18th-century farm building set around a landscaped courtyard two miles from York city centre. The property sleeps six across three bedrooms: one kingsize with its own shower room on the first floor, a second kingsize, and a third with two singles. There is also a family bathroom with a bath and shower. A fully equipped kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and fridge-freezer, while the ground-floor living and dining room has a Freeview TV and DVD player. Essentials including electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered in your stay.
Shared facilities across the property include a games room with a pool table, air hockey and darts, a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a hot tub and sauna for six with its own shower and toilet. The large garden has patio furniture and a barbecue. You have private parking for two cars on site and access to a cot and highchair if needed. The location suits families wanting to explore York's museums, Georgian streets and riverside walks while returning to somewhere genuinely quiet; the property sits in open fields despite being close to the city. No smoking is permitted.

Perfectly charming place with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Close enough to pop in yo the city and experience all that York has to offer, and quiet enough for a decent night's sleep. Would recommend :)

Love this place, this was our second visit and it was just as lovely as the first. I love how they decorate the place for Christmas. It has everything you need and is a short trip into York. Great carvery across the road as well.

We stayed in Big Barn, a lovely 'home from home' cosy and comfortable cottage with everything we needed, in a pleasantly arranged, and peaceful, location, but only a couple of miles from York. We also really enjoyed the hot tub! Very relaxing after our daily outings. The owner was very helpful and friendly, and on hand if needed, but left us to enjoy our holiday in peace. We would happily stay here again. There's a Park and Ride to York (Monks Cross) only a couple of minutes away by car, as were the supermarkets. Also a Toby Carvery 5 minutes walk from the cottage. All very handy, but you feel as though you're tucked away from all the hustle and bustle in this peaceful and very pleasant location.
