2nd time staying at Little Barn. Very comfortable and cosy. Easy to get into York on the park and ride.

Comfortable and spacious property, with all facilities and kitchen utensils and cutlery we needed. Plenty of leaflets about places to visit, although there was not an information pack about the property covering such things as recycling and use of the hot tub.Access to the second bedroom is through the first bedroom. Some of the fittings and carpets are dated, but that's not a problem.Good location. Nice and quiet.

Great location to see York. Good to have a hot tub and sauna to chill in too. We would recommend to others.
