Grange Farm Barns

We had a wonderful stay at Grange Farm and would recommend it to anyone. From start to finish, the hosts took the time and effort to ensure we had a great stay. From a beautiful welcome basket with lovely local goodies, to extra towels for the hot tub, they had really thought about their guests needs. Lydia and her husband were on hand to give us helpful information about the home and area- nothing was too much trouble and they were lovely people. Grange Farm comes with everything you would need for a great stay away. We opted for extras including afternoon tea (which was a lovely addition to the holiday) and fire pit and hot chocolates . Both extras were high quality and added to our holiday experience. Grange farm is a characterful space with beams, stone floors and a beautiful staircase. The attention to detail is very high and the place was completely spotless. When it comes to the outside, this is a great place for a family to stay with a big (and enclosed) garden. There are also animals in the neighbouring field which the children loved and really made us feel like we were having a proper stay in the countryside! The hot tub tops it all off and was a luxurious way to spend an evening. Thank you to Lydia and family for a lovely stay!

An unforgettable weekend at Grange Farm Barns We’ve just returned from the most amazing family weekend at Grange Farm Barns and it was absolutely outstanding. We were wowed from the minute we arrived and stepped into the gorgeous open plan kitchen and dining area. As a brand new conversion, everything is finished to a high standard and there is everything you could possibly need for a perfect, luxurious long-weekend away. A welcome hamper is there for every guest with locally sourced tea, coffee, bread with a bottle of jersey milk from the nearby dairy and eggs fresh from the hens on the farm. We all loved the hot tub and enjoyed a relaxing morning soak and the children loved jumping in for a blast of early evening bubbles. All the rooms are spacious, beautifully presented with fabulous beds and linen with lots of big, fluffy white towels. I loved the main bathroom with the roll top bath, mood lighting and candles – perfect for escaping with a good book and pile of magazines. The farm setting is wonderfully peaceful, a perfect base for exploring the city of York, which is just half an hour away or some of the small local market towns such as Pocklington and Howden. There are lots of quirky details that make this stand out as a five star holiday location, the gin bar particularly appealed to me! Other things I loved were the velux balcony window in the main bedroom, the “naughty corner” desk in the dining room and the fire pit with marshmallows and hot chocolate. Lydia and James have developed the barn with thoughtful, exquisite design and style and are perfect hosts - I can’t recommend this highly enough. Rachel O’Reilly, Dorking, Surrey

Brilliant accommodation in a lovely setting with a very private courtyard. Would highly recommend this venue. The hot tub was a very nice extra but the building with all its little extra touches made this a weekend to remember. Have already booked again for my 70th birthday celebration.

The work that Lydia and James have done to the barn shines through in the look and feel of the barn conversion. My family and I stayed in the barns recently as part of my birthday celebrations. The standard of finish of the barns made the whole get away feel extremely special. The hosts are extremely attentive and nothing is too much to ask. Lydia gave a great introduction tour as we arrived, and ensured we understood where everything was and how everything worked. Lydia even went as far as to explain the local amenities and country walks, to which we took full advance of. The location of the barns works well for an amazingly relaxing break, with only the rare sound of wildlife and farm animals breaking the silence. Which offers a great contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life. I’d highly recommend staying at Grange Farm Barns and Im confident we’ll be back for another stay in the near future. Thank you Lydia and James for a very special birthday, and welcoming us with open arms to the barns.
