We had a great time at Badgers Barn. It was clean and had everything we needed. Celia is lovely and very knowledgeable for local walks that are right at your door step. Badgers Barn is also a great base to explore nearby Whitby and Scarborough. We would highly recommend Badgers Barn and we can't wait to book again soon.

The driveway after leaving the hiway is a little rough not many passing places. Badgers Barn was very clean & tidy with oak beams & a split stable like door. We were at the Badgers Barn during the heatwave of June 2026 luckily I took my own table top isolating fan with us it was a good send together with the stable door we could keep cool Scarborough, Whitby, & Filey were only about 20mins drive away & York was 1hr away. There was beautiful scenery everywhere we looked.
