The Long Barn at Town End Farm

In 2012 we had a mid-life crisis (although one of Ian’s colleagues told us we had already passed that marker). We have always been customer focused in our careers and had dreamed about taking control of our lives and running our own business. So, we took the plunge and decided to sell our house and set up a self-catering business for large groups of friends and family to meet up in style and comfort. We have put our hearts and souls into the restoration of this characterful luxurious self catering barn and tried to think of every detail you need to make your stay truly memorable. There is space to spread out in & relax, space to come together in. 7 generous en suite double bedrooms mean no one has the short straw. The Long Barn is the perfect place to escape to with family and friends for a special celebration in the beautiful North York Moors National Park.

Some holidays are about seeing as much as possible.

Others are about slowing down, pulling on your walking boots and setting off from the front door.

One of the things we love most about Appleton le Moors is that you can spend an entire weekend exploring on foot. Woodland paths, village pubs, big North York Moors views and plenty of wildlife are all within walking distance of the Long Barn.

In our latest blog we've shared five of our favourite circular walks from the door. They range from a short village stroll to longer walks taking in Sinnington, Lastingham and some of our favourite corners of the North York Moors.

The best part? No need to worry about finding a parking space when you get back.
