  Fabulous stay at Oak Tree Barn for myself, my partner, sister-in-law and sprocker spaniel.

  The Barn was immaculately clean, well equipped and very welcoming and we were very thankful for the ceiling fans in the bedrooms on the unexpected hottest week of the year. The garden was perfectly secure without us having to worry about our dog escaping although we did have to watch him with the hedgehogs he found. We had 2 cars in our party and both were easily accommodated off road in front of the garages to the property as described. The owners were wonderful in communicating and ensuring we had all we needed and going above and beyond with the extra welcoming touches which were very much appreciated. The property is perfectly located a short walk from the centre of the village where there are some good pubs and other eateries (we enjoyed The Buck Inn dog friendly and the fish and chip shop twice as we hadn’t realised that food serving stopped so early in the evenings so did get caught out a bit). The village itself is a good base for those who want to head out to visit the towns/city, experience the outdoors/ beach/sea or not do much at all and just stay local and enjoy some peace and quiet and the scenery so a good mix for all. Nothing I would change about the Barn or the holiday. Hope to come back soon. Thank you for our well needed stay.

  Beautiful property 2 mins from the centre of thornton dale on foot.

  Very comfortable and well thought out. It has been recently renovated with no expense spared (we found price tags on everything) and everything was immaculate. Kitchen is well designed and nicely equipped for cooking. Beds are comfy with nice bedding. Sofas are pretty comfy and the living space is genuinely a nice place to be. Garden is small and nice but be warned, it loses the sun early afternoon and isn't private as its open to the car port which leads to the road, but the pub garden next door doesn't lose the sun so its a great excuse to pop across for a drink. 2 mins walk from a lovely little park, shops and the thatched cottage. Cycle hire (ebikes and mountain bikes) is 2 mins walk round the corner. Pub and bakery literally next door with another nice pub just around the corner. Not much noise from deliveries (which was our worry). Short drive to Dalby forest and a lovely walk though the fields to pickering for more pubs (highly recommend the food at the bay horse pub), shops and some castle ruins. Host is lovely and very responsive but would suggest that you don’t send texts late at night as she runs a business and doesn't have her phone silenced at night.

  Sykes are very easy to book through and information thorough.

  With regards to the property: Amazingly covid thoughtful owners. As hermits for the last 18m we were worried about a break away. But all the covid precautions are in place and we were immediately at ease. Very good location and the parking for a large family car was easy. The pre-arrival info from the owner was brilliant. House was very well furnished. (The photos online need updating as the house has been refurbished since the current photos - so you will be in for a wonderful surprise. ) We didn't require one on this visit, but the only suggestion I'd make to the owners is to consider installing a washing machine & drier or washer/drier, possibly in the spacious bathroom. Overall it was really relaxing staying here and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area.

  Oak Tree Barn was absolutely lovely, not only is it in a great location it is a great place to stay.

  Our first impression of “this is fantastic” stayed with us throughout. From the well stocked kitchen to the wonderful cosy living room and comfortable very clean bedrooms. This really is a home from home. We were welcomed with a lovely gift hamper that was quite personal. Chris the owner obviously checks who will be staying for the week. We even had welcome text upon arrival. It is the little touches that make a difference. I can also see in colder weather the house would be very warm, with lots of heating and a wood fire stove in the sunroom. As stated this location is perfect to explore the Yorkshire Moors and beyond. Thornton le Dale has great amenities which is a very easy walk. With larger places such as Pickering and Malton a short drive. We have every intention of returning.

  I house was amazing and wonderful to stay.

  Me and my wife felt very welcomed from the moment we stepped through the front door to the moment we left. We had a little trouble light the log fire which Claire was happy to come help us with. We were able to manage after that. The bedrooms were spacious and very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was and spacious. The house was made for multiple people but even with two it was still amazing. The fridge and freezer were full size with plenty of storage for food. The induction hob was working and very quick to heat up, as was the oven. The outside/ garden looked amazing, we didn't get time to spend in it as the weather didn't permit us to but it was also very well stocked and ready for use. I would highly recommend for either a group of people or just a couple planning a getaway.
