Helen
Bartlett's Barn is a great little cottage on a farm in a small complex of holiday cottages. The area is quiet and peaceful. The downstairs is open plan and although the cottage sleeps five people, the living space is quite small for five adults. It was fine for a short stay but would have been cramped for more than a few days. The kitchen was well equipped but preparation space was limited. The pool and sauna were great, as was the games room. Jane, the owner, was very friendly and helpful and addresed any isues we had very well.

Absolutely perfect stay! Bartlett's Barn is in the most beautiful and peaceful location, sat in the hills between Scarborough and Whitby there is so much to do. Jane is an amazing host - she welcomed us so warmly and explained how to use the poolhouse facilities. The cottage and the poolhouse were impeccably clean. The pool and sauna were amazing. The price for the stay was such a good deal - we will definitley be booking again. Thankyou Jane and Trevor!!
