I would recommend two light boxes in the roof to simulate sky lights!The barn is dog friendly but a notice by the door indicates dogs are not allowed in the bedroom! The only way to get to the gravel with table and chairs at the rear is through the bedroom!? This barn needs a rethink for its interior design and comfort!

The shower was maybe the best weâve used when weâve been away. The outside area was very adequate with lovely views. The bed was comfortable & we slept very well. The location was good - we walked into Ruswarp one day & Whitby the next & shops, chip shop & pubs were within walking distance. We met the owner & she was very friendly. We have rebooked.

Piping hot water.Really appreciated the heated towel rail! Well equipped. Spar grocer, butcher, baker and pub/hotel within walking distance. Good grassed area at the rear- I could let the dog off the lead although would recommend a tether if there are people next door. Road surface over the Echo Hill bridge and under the trees is dodgy if your vehicle sits lower to the ground. I thoroughly recommend Lowdale Barns.
