Aside from an unforeseeable issue with the shower, which Caron quickly addressed, the Barn was cosy and adequate as a base for a 7 day break. A little more storage for clothes would have been nice, but we appreciate that it is a small unit. At times we found the space in the bedroom a little restricting, but a a 6'4, 20 stone former Rugby Player, hRead moreardly surprising. Otherwise, covered all our needs, thank you, Hide

Great location and lovely walks straight from the property. Very quiet, yet handy for the Park and Ride into Whitby.
