Beautiful location - fab pub just 2 miles away in kirton. Not really walkable - roads too narrow. Cottage was nice- upstairs lovely - downstairs needs abit of tlc if it is to be advertised as luxury.

Absolutely beautiful place and n gorgeous surroundings. Hot tub and games room made for a perfect weekend away. Can't wait to return!

The cottage is in a lovely location and we had some amazing walks and enjoyed the local pubs. The rural area suited us perfect especially having our dog with us.

5 Star, Clean, warm and homely

Michaela

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was welcoming and comfortable and the hot tub and games room huge hits with my teenage girls. We all came away rested and happy. Thank you.

Paula

Its very quiet so if you have limited mobility you definitely need a car.The games room was a highlight so much fun but only 2 darts. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Carol

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. Walks to the nearby villages were mainly on country roads so not great. Lord Stones country park well worth a visit.

Michelle

Amazing stay at Old Hay barn. Set in such Peaceful surroundings with the added extras of the hot tub and games room which the whole family enjoyed each evening. Close to many lovely walks, towns to explore and beaches a small drive away. Thankyou for a great stay and I would recommend to friends and family

Bridget

We had a lovely time staying in The Old Hay Barn and it was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. The owners were very helpful and friendly and on hand should you have any queries They also made a few suggestions of lively nearby beaches and coves that we might want to visit during our stay. Stokesley is the nearest town a couple of miles away and a reall y quaint market town with a river running through it and a nice mix of shops to purchase any food items for your stay. Peaceful and enjoyable holiday

Charlotte

The accommodation was good, plenty of room, cleaning of the property could be better. As commented by someone else, you have to bring everything with you, washing up liquid, sponges, cleaning cloths, to bin liners, these very simple items is something I would not necessarily have thought to bring with me, it would be a nice touch to have these here already. There is no welcome info, you have to ask for the Wifi, the hot tub is a nice touch, but the temperature was on cold side at 35 degrees.

Jay

Fabulous, cosy cottage. I went with my partner, 3 year old and dog and it was perfect for us. Just ensure you pack all essentials such as bin liners, toilet roll, fairy liquid as I forgot these...my own fault but there are shops/supermarket around 15 min drive away. WiFi worked amazingly like others have said. Hot tub was fabulous. Host was availab le if needed. Great walks and beach's not too far of a drive away too!

Sarah

A beautiful house, with everything that you would need for a self catering holiday in stunning surroundings, we took our little dog with us and he settled as if he was at home. The highlight for our 2 boys was the on-sight games room, they enjoyed many games of pool and darts together throughout the week.

Michelle

Lovely cottage and area. Really enjoyed our break, thanks

Bethany

This was a wonderful vacation home. The facilities were perfect for a girls vacation, loved the games room and the hot tube. The boards games were a lovely touch also ! The bedrooms were beautiful, lovely mattress, pillows and bedding which is a big deal for a perfect nights sleep. The scenery was picturesque! Loved waking up for the horses in the stables and sheep in the field cant wait to come back in the summer.

Nicola

We had a lovely stay and loved the addition of the games room. The rooms were super comfortable and the bathroom is gorgeous. The owner was extremely helpful when we needed help with the temperature of the hot tub and came over within 10 minutes of messaging. Will definitely be booking again :)

Malcolm

Great facilities, particularly enjoyed the hot tub and games room and handy for travel across Yorkshire and beyond

Stephanie

Amazing property and location. Has everything you need! 5 star.

Charlotte

An absolutely gorgeous property, we have stayed in lodges & cottages many times across the country, this was wonderful! Loved the privacy and view from the hot tub and the beds were so comfy, the decor is beautiful and a perfect option for a family getaway, already thinking about booking for 2023

Helen

We had an absolutely fantastic stay, 2 couples and 2 dogs and we had plenty of room and enough parking for 2 cars. The barn was modern but still cosy, we loved every minute staying there, we also had the added bonus of the barn with the games room! And there was a cupboard full of board games! Our Host was on hand if needed, we would highly recomme nd and will be rebooking

Amy

We stayed here and wow what a place! The master bedroom was gorgous with its double aspect windows. Lovely to open the door while waking up in the morning. The games room was such a bonus too. Everything was fab - the shower, comfy sofas, dog friendly! Thank you!!!

Charlotte

Beautiful house in a lovely location but it was frustrating the hot tub was off for our first night as we only stayed for 2 nights and was one of the main reasons we chose the house.

Sharon

Want to get away with in a lovely location of mountain views and nice countryside this is a place to go, Peace and quiet . Lovely spacious rooms with tasteful decor with added bonus of a spacious games room and a hot tub.

Susan

Just returned from a 2nd stay at the Old Hay Barn. It is such a lovely property, always spotlessly clean and perfect for a few days to relax and unwind. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend if you're looking for a hot tub hideaway.

David

Fabulous cottage in great location to explore North Yorkshire. The cottage was beautifully presented, well equipped and the hot tub was a real treat at the end of a day out.

Sarah

The cottage is in a brilliant location for days out in the car. My fianc and I thoroughly enjoyed the week. We had 2 dogs with us who loved the field just behind the house. The cottage itself was beautiful very well finished with the luxury feel to it! Waking up to the horses coming into the small stable was lovely. But most of all it was peaceful! Such a calm environment.

Leanne

We had a memorable week in the cottage just with things not being 100% it did make things awkward. The owner was very accommodating with charging an electric vehicle and the welcome bag was a lovely surprise. Just a few bits upgrading and sorting would make it so much better 100% the wifi needs a massive upgrade!

Maria

We enjoyed our stay very much , nice peaceful location and hot tub lovely on an evening. A couple of little touches what would have made our stay all the more enjoyable; Very slow WiFi ( I know people don't go away for WiFi ) however it stopped us from watching Netflix on an evening. Also barbecue was in a poor condition and was left by previous gu est's dirty and the tray full of used charcoal. Beds comfortable, shower room nice . Extra toilet always comes in handy:) . Overall a nice break.

Rubina

Overall our trip was good but we did have some issue such as no Wi-Fi we messaged the host several times but no help. We also forgot bin bags and there are no shops around so we asked the host but she said we shouldve bought our own so we had to use some plastic bags we had. One of the double rooms had so many spiders we tried to call the host but she didnt answer and nobody could sleep there the whole weekend. We also did not receive a welcome hamper which we were told wed get.

Dawn

Lovely property and location, clean and welcoming had a great family break lots of lovely walks everyone was friendly will definitely be booking again.

Chris

The old hay barn was a perfect location to stay whilst exploring all that the North Yorkshire moors and coastline has to offer. Plenty of space within the property to accommodate our family of 4 and the games room was used frequently by our boys both at the beginning of the day and at the end. The hot tub was a welcome addition and ideal for relaxi ng those tired muscles after long walks along the Cleveland way or up to the top of rosemary top. For a tranquil, countryside location this is the one

Heather

Lovely stay Beautiful location and Barn! Everything was modern and clean. Just what we were looking for. Nice big hot tub! We got lots of use out of this. We also enjoyed the games room. The only small niggle I would make would be to cover the steps which lead up to the hot tub with a material that is not slippery. They were quite steep and when w et from the hot tub got quite slippery. But overall we had a great stay and have already recommended this barn to friends and family.

Aileen

Amazing stay, cant recommend enough!

Susan

Wow! This cottage was wonderful, very clean with towels and all kitchen products eg tea towels and washing up liquid provided. Location was fabulous with lovely walks to the local pubs, we went to the Miners and the food was fab. Hot tub fits 6 easy. The house was large and had lovely views as its set well back from the road by a long sweeping driv e. Worth families taking bicycles or walking shoes with lots to discover. The house was easy to find from the motorway and really is beautiful.

Deana

I would recommend the Old Hay Barn to anyone. It is great value for money considering the location and spec of the cottage. the cottage was very tastefully decorated, you can tell a lot of thought had been put into it. It's location couldn't be better, especially if walking is your thing. There's lots of things to do close by including national tru st properties and lovely Stokesley. It's also within easy driving distance to Whitby and Scarborough amongst others. We had a lovely holiday!

Helen

This is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location! The decor and cosiness of the place was perfect and we all enjoyed the hot tub (although steps to it are very steep).There is so much to do in the area and despite the blustery stormy February weather holing up at the Old Hay Barn was a fantastic break for us all. it suited children and adults an d the dog loved the place. Seeing the horses and farmland and the clear star -filled night sky was so peaceful and we all had a restorative week away.

Karl

Cottage was amazing and clean. Hot Tub was excellent and stayed warm for hours. We had a request for 1 members of the party's birthday if we can have some balloons/banners this was fulfilled and to a very good standard. Recommend walks and Takeaways where really good and the games room was used every day. Only complains with the whole trip is the W iFi was a bit flaky when we where having a film night and some of the door in the property do not latch properly, so when windy they do bang a bit

Craig

Good location, 3 miles from Lordstones, 30 minutes to the coast or Helmsley. Nice views from the bedrooms. Kitchen equipment poor, pots and pans in a very poor state, no dishwasher. Wi-Fi is just on a extender from the main house, didnt work all week- 4G signal was ok so used that. Not great communication from owners apart from Ben who was friendly and great for directions on local routes. Hot tub and the games room were great additions.

Ella

We had a fantastic weekend stay here. Great location, with everything from lakes, hills and coastline within half an hour. Our hosts were very accommodating and friendly, and even helped push a car out the mud when one of our party took the wrong road! Great place to stay with dogs too, with a secure area for them with artificial grass so you dont have to worry about them bringing mud in. Would love to come back and explore more of the beautiful countryside around the house.
