We had an excellent couple of weeks at Lockwood Barn. Beth has done a great job creating a well-thought-out and comfortable holiday home. Beautifully decorated throughout, the barn is well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden is great if you have a dog. Salton is well located for the North York Moors, the coast, Howardian Hills and York, while feeling like a proper rural retreat. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to be back!

Lovely welcome pack. Everything we hoped it would be. Just two tiny moans , no towel in toilet near lounge. The other is having to strip the beds before leaving, l feel having paid a lot of money for the week l shouldn't have to do that. Otherwise everything was really nice.
