About the host
Hosted by Michelle
Hi, I’m Michelle . I spent my early years in Africa before moving back to the North East of England. I’ve always loved renovating properties, and when I discovered Tanyard House and its historic outbuildings in 2012, I knew it was a special project. I moved in 2013 and spent the following year restoring the buildings, finally completing the renovations in 2014. It has been a real privilege to bring these historic buildings back to life, and in 2015 I opened them as holiday lets to share their charm with visitors.
I love being a host because it allows me to share a piece of North Yorkshire history and help guests enjoy the peace, beauty, and character of village life. I’m happy to give tips on exploring the area, from scenic walks and historic houses to nearby towns and the coast, or I can let guests simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of the property.

Why they chose this property
I chose Whixley because it’s a truly special village with a strong sense of community. The people here are welcoming and take great pride in preserving the village’s character and heritage. Whixley is a designated conservation area, so its historic buildings, beautiful gardens, and scenic streets are carefully maintained, giving the village a timeless, picture‑perfect feel. Staying here means enjoying the tranquillity of rural North Yorkshire while being part of a community that values its history and natural surroundings.
What makes this property unique
Tanyard Barn isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a living piece of Whixley’s history. One of the oldest homes in the village, Tanyard House and its outbuildings tell the story of a working Yorkshire community, woven into the very fabric of village life.
The house takes its name from the tannery that once operated here. Long before holiday lets existed, this was where the village tanner lived and worked, transforming animal hides into rich, strong leather - a skilled craft essential to rural life. The outbuildings were once bustling with tannery activity, where hides were soaked, treated, and prepared using traditional methods, and every beam and wall carries echoes of this industrious past.
The beautifully converted Tanyard Barn has its own story. In the early 19th century, it was a village pub called The Crown, a lively hub where locals gathered, shared stories, and celebrated community life. The old well still exists below Tanyard House, historically providing water for both the tannery and the pub. These features offer a tangible link to the daily life and industry of the past.
Tanyard Cottage, another converted outbuilding, shares in this heritage. Together, Tanyard House, Tanyard Barn, and Tanyard Cottage form a historic cluster where guests can immerse themselves in the authentic working life of the village and the unique story of North Yorkshire’s rural past.
Set next to Whixley Park, the property offers stunning views and an immediate sense of peace and tranquility. Whixley is almost picture-postcard perfect: a friendly village with a historic church dating back to the Domesday Book, beautiful gardens, and well-kept homes.
It’s a chance to step into history, experience a property of significant heritage in a serene, beautiful village setting. With all the modern comforts you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, it’s the perfect base to explore, unwind, and soak in the unique character of this historic corner of Yorkshire.
