Broody Barn, York

Take the family along for a restful stay at this sweet property in Tollerton, an attractive village in Yorkshire’s beating heart. Enjoy scenic walks through spectacularly pretty landscapes in the Howardian Hills AONB (6.5 miles) or visit the vibrant market town of Easingwold (4.5 miles). You’ll also be excellently placed for visiting the city of York (10.5 miles), with its iconic Minster, impressive Roman walls and excellent shopping opportunities. Once you’ve admired the elegant brick exterior, step inside to a spacious and welcoming hallway where you can leave outdoor wear and dog leads. The heart of the home is an open-plan living space, which combines rustic charm with modern amenities. Characterful beams nod to the place’s history, while large windows allow plenty of light in for an airy atmosphere. The integrated kitchen, dining area and lounge are fantastic for chilling out. From the lounge area, you can access to a private patio with a hot tub – wonderful for soaking those tired legs after long days of walking. There’s a BBQ and outdoor so you can dine alfresco. Tollerton itself is steeped in charm, and you’ll have a friendly local pub and handy convenience store within 500 metres. The National Trust site at Beningbrough Hall (5.5 miles) offers art, architecture and a gorgeous garden, as well as a coffee shop for that much-deserved cuppa. It’s well worth the drive to Harrogate (20.5 miles), where you can indulge in a treatment at the Turkish baths and enjoy upmarket shops within gorgeous sandstone buildings.
