Our family holiday at the Long Barn, August 2025
We have come on holiday to this part of N. Yorkshire for 50 years, and love a chance to return and revisit favourite places. Now that our family has grown and multiplied, we need somewhere that can accommodate 8 adults and 5 children so we were delighted in 2022 to discover the Long Barn with its spacious rooms spread over its renovated, solidly built farm buildings, and its enormous Games Room alongside.
This summer we decided to return and our family (ages 86 to 8) had another fabulous week. Yet again, we were amazed by the thoughtfulness whereby Ian and Jackie provide all that guests might need and in excess. There is such a wonderful generosity in how they welcome their guests and how they ensure ample supplies of absolutely everything. We loved our week at the Long Barn and the days flew past far too quickly.
Family Birthday Celebrations
We stayed to celebrate three significant family birthdays and enjoyed a truly wonderful time. The welcome from Ian & Jackie was tremendous and they were so helpful with recommendations for sourcing what we needed. Birthday Cakes, Wine and importantly a great private chef, Dan Graham, who delivered a memorable evening meal. The accommodation was superbly appointed and so well equipped, it is the best house we have ever rented. We are returning later this year with a group of friends and looking forward to it.
