We had a wonderful stay in Yorkshire and really enjoyed our time here. The cottage was the perfect base for our family to explore the North York Moors, Whitby and the many beautiful places nearby.We especially loved the peaceful location, the beautiful countryside and the cosy atmosphere of the house. Everything was clean, well equipped and exactly what we had hoped for.Mark and Moya were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Communication was always easy and we really felt at home.Yorkshire completely won us over, and this lovely place was a big part of what made our holiday so special. We would happily come back and can highly recommend staying here.

This property and its host are simply outstanding. Located in the North Yorkshire countryside, the property is a converted barn, adjacent to the main farmhouse. While retaining the charm of the old structure, it has thoroughly modern kitchen and bathrooms. The is an en-suite bedroom on the ground floor as well as an en-suite bedroom upstairs. The upstairs bedroom and bath open to a small sitting area that overlooks the living space below. The main living area has a large television mounted on the wall, which is great for watching a film or two. There is also a wood burning stove.The hosts have ensured that the property is well-equipped with every accessory. The kitchen has beautiful cookware and a modern dishwasher. Plates and glassware are a joy. The property is beautifully decorated. The heating system keeps the space warm but ample blankets to make things cozy. Beds are extremely comfortable and the bedding first-rate.Views from the property are magnificent. Sheep and cattle dot the hillside; there are ample paths for walks. In the distance, in all directions, there are beautiful hills. We were greeted warmly by the hosts who explained the property and the area as well as answering our questions. They are attentive but also make sure to give guests their space.

It was delightful to nestle-in at Postgate Barn. Mark and Moya were perfectly welcoming and gracious.This thoughtfully appointed country retreat is charming, with perfect accommodations for two couples. Attention to detail gives it lots of comfort and character. We enjoyed breathtaking views of the moors, lovely sitting areas to enjoy the morning sun, daily hikes along the ridge and wine in the evenings.It offers easy access for day trips to local villages coastal towns. Thanks for creating such a warm and precious retreat. Our stay has been wonderful. We hope to come again!

Beautiful Location for Cycling, Walking and Relaxing!

We spent 8 nights here in early April. The property is beautifully set out with everything you could need - including some very warm underfloor heating.The location is perfect for cycling and walking right from the doorstep, with Apps like Komoot perfect for plotting spectacular circular days out. The barn is wonderfully quiet, with lovely views across the valley.Mark and Moya were the perfect hosts and always there if you needed any help or advice. Communication was excellent.Already planning a return in 2026!

High quality property in a peaceful location

We’re a family of four that was looking for a short escape from the frenetic urban environment. This cottage is in an amazingly beautiful and quiet location. You can enjoy the birds singing with a lovely view from the back garden and great views of the stars on a clear night. The property is of a high standard, as described, very warm on cold days and the hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Well located to see the moors and surrounding towns and cities.

Charming retreat in picturesque countryside

We were completely charmed by this off the beaten path adorable cottage located in simply STUNNING countryside. Mark and Moya were very considerate hosts explaining the layout of the land and local attractions catered to what we wanted to do and see. The cottage itself is a tastefully converted barn with all the amenities you could need. We couldn't have been happier with our stay! Cheers, Mike Kerri and Aidan from Ottawa, Canada

A simply wonderful place to stay

This was a perfect place for two couples/friends to enjoy being together. The countryside was beautiful, the view spectacular and the barn a pleasure to be in and so well equipped. A relative short distance to the coast and some beautiful dale’s villages with some great pubs. It was a wonderful week.

We wanted a place in the moors as a base for exploring Yorkshire. Postgate farm was a perfect. The location makes it easy to explore the area and the accommodations make you look forward to retuning each night. Stunning views from the property, well equipped kitchen and the perfect size for a family of four. We loved our stay!
