Confirmed Guest
We had a wonderful stay at The Sheep Shed. It is in a quiet location within easy driving distance to the coast and the many beautiful grand houses and gardens which are nearby. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and exactly as shown in the photos. We had everything we needed for our week's stay and would not hesitate to recommend it as a base for exploring this part of Yorkshire.
