Immerse yourself in the East Yorkshire countryside with an eight-person break at this unique barn conversion near Skirlaugh. Designed with time together in mind, it offers cosy evenings by the wood burner, film and board-game nights in the living room, and long, bubbly soaks in the private hot tub.
Step beneath the vaulted ceilings of this characterful barn and you’ll find industrial-seeming beams, original exposed brickwork and huge windows framing the paddocks outside, with horses often grazing beyond the glass. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is made for busy family days, whether everyone is piling around the breakfast bar for toast and a brew or gathering at the large dining table over dinner and glasses of wine. When the evening draws in, fire up the wood burner, claim a sofa and put a film on the Smart TV, while anyone after a little private time can escape to the mezzanine reading corner above. Outside, the enclosed courtyard gives everyone more room to relax, with space for alfresco meals and a private hot tub ready for post-walk or post-beach soaks. Four bedrooms are spread across both floors, including a ground-floor double with a neighbouring shower room, making the layout particularly practical for multi-generational stays.
With market towns, open countryside and the coast all close by, this part of East Yorkshire is perfect for groups who like variety in their days out. Pull out your bikes from the handy storage and venture along the quiet lanes through the immediate rolling landscapes, or to the parklands of Burton Constable Hall (5 miles). Beach walks and ice cream shops abound in Hornsea, Withernsea and Tunstall, all within 18.5 miles. Hull (8 miles) and Beverley (10.5 miles) add independent shops and good food to your itinerary.
