I cant recommend the property enough. It is warm and comfortable, has everything you need. The little touches such as robes for the hot tub, logs for the fire and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. We all would highly recommend farmstead barn and would definitely consider coming back in the furture.

This is a perfect holiday home for a large family. It is very well equipped to a high standard. The location is perfect for local amenities but tucked away for privacy. It is also perfect for a walk into the beautiful Studley Park and Fountains Abbey. The owners are available for any local advice and are very friendly.
