    Arwen Barn was 5 star accommodation and very spacious. The location suited our group very as there are a number of golf courses within a 30 min drive. The village pub is also highly rated and friendly.

    Arwen Barn is an amazing place to stay .The Barn is 5*+ . It has to be the best accomadation I have ever stayed in well worth the money. Even though you are in a village just outside Thirsk which is only a 10 minute drive. It has a local pub down the road which does lovely meals. Would highly recommend to anyone xThank you for such a fantastic stay.
