Located in the 3-house hamlet of North Cattleholmes and accessed via country lanes, The Old Barn is a thoughtfully converted 200-year old stable block, offering comfortable and flexible accommodation for two. The cottage is well-equipped and tastefully furnished.
The location of the cottage feels remote, tranquil and deep in the heart of the countryside, perfect for getting away from it all, yet offering easy access to a range of services and attractions.
This is a perfect base for the wildlife enthusiast as it is located in the middle of Yorkshire’s Wildlife Triangle, with the internationally significant bird sites at Flamborough and Bempton a short drive away. One mile away there is a regionally important wetland habitat with snakes, water voles and otters, and from the property you are likely to get good viewings of hares, owls and kingfishers. One guest logged 25 species from the cottage bench before breakfast! If the wildlife is being elusive our horses and poultry always enjoy attention.
The coastline is diverse with many different coastal landscapes to explore, lots of perfect dog friendly beaches and some classic ‘bucket and spade’ seaside towns. The area boasts some unique stately homes that are managed by their original families, or the East Riding of Yorkshire Council in one case, so are charmingly individual and most rewarding to visit.
For walkers, the Yorkshire Wolds give perfect views at every turn and facilitate a range of walks, from gentle ambles to leg burning route marches. Most walks enable you to include pretty villages and welcoming pubs. This location is a cyclist’s dream. Miles of quiet lanes with the option to pootle on the flat or flog up some serious scarp slopes and everything in-between. Whether on wheels or foot, you always feel like you have the landscape pretty much to yourself.
York, Scarborough and the North York Moors are also easily accessed from here. The market town of Driffield with a wide range of services and some quirky independent shops is a 10-minute drive away. The beautiful medieval town of Beverley is within easy access. It is the loveliest place to shop, lunch and admire what our ancestors could build. The more energetic will enjoy the Westwood pasture – 4 square kilometres of common land where dogs can, and do, go mad.
Closer to home, the nearest pubs (there are three of them), shop and railway station are in the village of Nafferton, approximately 2 miles away. The owners have extensive local knowledge and love to help guests make the most of their stay.

The Barn was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Close to local amenities and only 20 minutes from Bridlington and the beach for the dogs. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. If we decide to visit this area again we would definitely return to the barn.

The accommodation is clean, comfortable and attractive, in very tranquil surroundings. The hosts are friendly, kind and helpful. The location is some miles from the nearest shop, so you need to plan ahead and make sure you have the supplies you need. The place is a good starting point for visits to the coast, nature reserves, stately homes and the Yorkshire Wolds. I don't think we could have asked for more.

Starting for the beginning, the initially communication with the owners was excellent with lots on useful information sent in advance. The cottage was spotless (and I mean Spotless!!). Everything inside looked new, not a scuff or scratch on the furnishings anywhere.
The owners were lovely, amazing people, very friendly, very attentive and clealy do anything to make your stay a good one, without being intrusive. The little extra's like the home made jam and flapjacks just topped it off. The cottage was well equipped with all that may be required for any length of stay. We will certainly be returning at some point.

Barn Cottage is a great place to stay, there is a very long narrow road to & from the cottage so you really are out in the sticks.
Accommodation is very good & the hosts live next door & are very helpful & friendly.
Easy access to the seaside resorts & we even found dog friendly beaches!

Really enjoyed it and the old barn was everything we wanted.
Really enjoyed it and the old barn was everything we wanted. The only negative thing is , it’s very hard to find and every where was so muddy and the roads are only tracks and if you were going anywhere and someone was coming the other way was of us had to reverse so they could pass. But still we enjoyed ourselves.
