  The Hay Barn is a beautiful property in a lovely rural setting & was the perfect place for 3 generations of our family to spend time together.

  The interior is stunning, very spacious with great features such as exposed brickwork, beams in the bedrooms & deep window sills (ideal window seats to gaze out at the surrounding countryside views). The finish is superb and quality of furnishings, fittings, linens outstanding. Above all it feels homely and welcoming. Everything has been provided that guests could possibly need, along with some unexpected little treats on arrival - a lovely touch from our host. Photographs don’t really do it justice - we loved the look from the pictures but ‘in the flesh’ (so to speak) The Hay Barn is so much more impressive. The outside space is delightful & compliments the property. A large courtyard style area with a beautiful raised flower bed, lawn, a range of seating areas and even some ride on toys for the youngest guests. Though previously a hot tub could be could be hired in via the owner, the addition of a large permanent hot tub is a huge bonus and really added a touch of luxury to our stay. Fishlake is a rural village but there are plenty of places to visit it & things to do within a short distance. Lots of lovely walks, a luxury day spa on the doorstep, farm/wildlife parks - as well as places to go out to eat. Jill the owner was a perfect host - very friendly, helpful & responsive. She contacted me personally ahead of our stay and was very quick replying to any questions. We also really appreciated her suggestions for places to visit with our granddaughter. We had the pleasure of meeting Jill with her friend on arrival they were most welcoming - just what we needed after a drive in awful weather! Thank you again Jill for a wonderful birthday break with our family & being such a great host. We all loved our time at The Hay Barn & wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

  Incredibly relaxing.

  .. Extremely spacious , yet cosy ! This property exceeded our expectations. We knew it would be big but it was far larger than expected, especially the master bedroom .. which was amazing. The property and surroundings were simply stunning and tranquil. A wonderful place for a family get together. In our case it was to host my 50th birthday ! Three sets of adults and a couple and grandchildren for the weekend and then my partner and I for the rest of the week .. it was just perfect and suited us all. The log burning fire and the large outdoor hot tub provided many relaxing nights after long walks in fresh weather ( December 2018 ) ... Family meals around the large dining table in the beautiful open kitchen, cooking on the aga was also an experience. Enough bedrooms to host us all too. And a games room for the children to play. The owners left a lovely welcome pack, a starter kit for the fire and the lovely little touches around the property made our stay comfortable and welcoming. Felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with stunning views and animals surrounding .. but only a few miles drive to the nearest supermarket or pub. York is not too far to visit and is also stunning with its Cathedral, shops, places to eat and drink , and beautiful old streets ( The Shambles ) . We had an amazing time and hope we are fortunate to go back in the not too distant future

  Whenever I arrive at a property these days I immediately think, "Would I stay here again?

  " I'm pleased if I can say "yes" straight away, and if nothing changes my mind throughout the week, I think I'm on a winner. This is one of those. It's clear that this hasn't been let for long, the place is very clean and the finish of the building shows a fine eye for detail. Very little has been spared to make it really nice. There were six of us staying at Hay Barn, with a baby and toddler. We had everything we needed, there was enough china and cutlery to be able to leave the dishwasher until it was full. Plenty of useful cooking pots too. The courtyard garden was nice and a great area to use, the little one was able to run around safely. There are nice walks around the property and chances to see some cows and wildlife. The bat which managed to get into a bedroom one evening was a treat! Anyone without a fishing landing-net in the car might have taken a different view, but I'm sure that it's a once in a lifetime occurrence both for us and the building. The owners were nearby and were very helpful if we needed anything else, thanks for the advice on where to go and the baby thermometer.

  We had a lovey stay at The Hay Barn in Fishlake.

  The 4 bedroom barn was perfect for the six of us who were looking for a spacious modern property for a weekend of relaxing away in the countryside. The Hay Barn is a very modern property and the owners have really thought about balancing modern facilities whilst still retaining the original charm of the barn. The kitchen is equipped with AEG appliances, the bathrooms have excellent showers with good water flow and the large smart TV is great for watching a movie at the end of the day. The garden is a great place for a BBQ, breakfast or any kind of dining and with the added canopy, you have some shelter from the elements. One of the property highlights is a huge, modern hot tub which was prepared for us by the owner and checked during our stay. A great addition and something which separates this property from one’s we have stayed at in the past. Overall, a great property for larger families or large groups wanting to spend time relaxing in a modern facility within the countryside. Thank you Gill and Jack for your hospitality!

  We have just come back from a weeks stay at Stubbs grange.

  Our party was made up of 4 adults and 3 children under 5, And We all had the best time, The house exceeded our hopes, plenty for the children to do from admiring the animals on the surrounding land and playing in the garden, to just playing in the house exploring. The kitchen was fabulous and a delight to cook in. And there was plenty of space all round the house to not get in the way of each other. Michelle the owner was on hand for any questions (though not needed as the welcome pack had plentiful answers) but she was also very kind to provide us with more logs (for a charge of corse) but also gave us fresh eggs from her hens (made some scrummy omelettes) I can’t recommend the place enough, the perfect get away from busy life and just relaxing with a view of fields and animals ❤️❤️ Thanks to the owners for a great week! We visited digger land whilst there which was a lot of fun for the kids and adults so would recommend if you’re visiting with children as it’s only a short drive.
