In good weather, you can take meals and coffees outside, where there’s a large table and chairs so you can sit and enjoy the views over the surrounding countryside.

We really enjoyed our holiday here. Emerald's Barn is a lovely place to stay in with all that you could need. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside with a wealth of wildlife and walks from the door. Tim and Claire made us very welcome and were both helpful but also unobtrusive. We will be back!

Emerald Cottage was delightful with absolutely gorgeous views wherever you looked. It's situated in such a peaceful location with everything you could need. It was great being able to use the tennis course and we enjoyed the visits from the owners' dogs. Would highly recommend and would love to revisit.

A truly lovely place to stay, tastefully decorated with all the facilities that you'd expect to find, creating a cosy and relaxing environment. A great rural location but with amenities not far away and lots of nearby places of interest to visit. Very helpful owners and a very welcome 'welcome' pack.

Wow what an amazing find. Emerald Barn has everything you could want and more. Tim and Claire are so friendly, but without being intrusive. Lots of special treats for us on Arrival which was really appreciated after a long drive. The woodburning stove is wonderful after a day out visiting the surrounding area.

Lovely converted barn in a beautiful setting - location provides the perfect getaway! Lovely walks close by and the market town of Helmsley is a good place to visit for a couple of hours with plenty of nice coffee shops and little gift shops - the Ginger Bear in particular! The Curious Coffee Company is a great coffee shop in Easingwold with deliciRead moreous coffee and scones. Would recommend the Durham Ox pub in Crayke - great atmosphere & delicious food. Tim & Claire friendly and on hand if needed. Hide

This is a gem of an accommodation. The only criticism, if one can call it such, is that the owner has underplayed what a wonderful cottage and location is provided. The location is well off the beaten track situated as it is in the middle of green fields yet just 5 minutes from the lovely village of Stillington. The owners are receptive and helpfulRead more without in any way being intrusive. If someone is looking for an upmarket cottage in North Yorkshire it will be difficult to find anything better. Hide

I would thoroughly recommend Emerald's Barn to any one looking for a comfortable, well appointed home from home. It is in a beautiful rural location ideal to rest and recuperate or as we did, use it as a base to explore, York, Whitby, various stately houses, RHS Harlow Carr and the surrounding area and walks. Lovely scenery is just outside the windRead moreows, along with a lot of wild life. My partner and I will go back again. Tim and Claire are very helpful, friendly, and nothing is too much trouble.

We spent Christmas at Emerald Barn and when we arrived the Barn had been beautifully decorated with Christmas and even the log fire was going so it was cozy and warm on arrival. Tim and Claire were lovely hosts and nothing was any trouble ! Such an idyllic barn and beautiful location . Stillington is the nearest village and we had a lovely meal at Read morethe White Bear which I highly recommend. I booked Christmas Day lunch at the Bay tree also in the village and this was such an amazing lunch ! Hide
