Flittermouse Barn Reviews

Graham
Wonderful! Our second time at Flittermouse Barn and we loved it.
Angela
Flittermouse barn is a lovely property set in beautiful gardens and views over the fields. The barn provides every comfort you need and attention to detail in the finishing and decoration of the barn is a high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and returned home feeling relaxed and recharged. We hope to return in the warmer months to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space.
Flittermouse barn is quite simply a stunning place to stay. When we saw it we were so excited to get inside and we were not disappointed. All rooms are beautifully decorated in a luxurious but practical style, very much 5 star accommodation. The underfloor heating took a bit of getting used to but because we had glorious weather it was warm enough for us. There is a log burner if you need more heat. It has a private and peaceful garden, log fired hot tub and a spacious gazebo. We didn't use the hot tub on this occasion but the owners are on hand to help you out if you do want to use it. The location is perfect because you're in the heart of the country, surrounded by fields and woodland, whilst also being close to the town of Hornsea, shops and the coast. We saw a family of deer in the mornings and could hear the owls chatting to each other at night. The only thing we couldn't find was a shaver socket luckily we'd taken our own although I think the owners will have probably sorted this by now. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future. A really special place!

The Jungle Zoo - NR31 9EY
about 25 Miles
Centred around a Tropical House in an amazing jungle like setting this is a really unique attraction that will appeal to families.  In the Cleethorpes area of Lincolnshire it's easy to get to and offers a fun yet educational experience.  Referred to as the number one attraction in the area highlights include capuchin monkeys, meerkats, ring tailed lemur and for the children African pygmy goats.  The tropical house features Red Eared and other Terrapins from North America and goldfish amongst other things.  We think The Jungle Zoo represents excellent value for money too.  We recommend a whole day to explore this attraction and ensure you get to see all of the animals resident there.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 27 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 28 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 29 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 29 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
