About The Hay Barn

The Hay Barn is a welcoming cottage set in the quaint, little village of Holme, North Yorkshire. Perfect for families or groups of friends, this abode provides guests with pet-friendly accommodation, spacious living areas, and a private hot tub for a touch of extra indulgence.

Head indoors to discover a kitchen/diner, fully equipped with all the essentials you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or a delightful evening meal. Gather around the dining table to enjoy your culinary creations, sharing stories of the day's adventures and planning what adventures are to follow!

After dinner, the sitting room will call out for you to relax, where you can sink into the plush sofas and tune into the TV, while the woodburning stove crackles in the background, adding a touch of warmth and charm to your evenings. The rear garden is one of the many highlights of the property, boasting a spacious lawn where your four-legged friends can stretch their legs.

On top of this, a private hot tub for a soothing evening under the orange glow of the North Yorkshire sunset is sure to complete a memorable day. As the night draws in, find three well-presented bedrooms, each boasting its own en-suite facilities for added convenience.

Choose from a king bedroom, a double bedroom, or a third twin, perfect for children or friends. Once you're settled in, venture beyond to appreciate the simplicity of rural life.

Visit the fascinating World Of James Herriot, a museum dedicated to the famed writer-vet, before spending an afternoon at Thorp Perrow, marvelling at an extensive collection of trees in the arboretum and meeting an array of birds of prey and mammals. Sporty guests can enjoy a round amongst the greenery at Thirsk & Northallerton Golf Club.

Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
