Tucked away in their own picturesque valley, this imposing stone farmhouse and three Grade II listed properties Kildale Barn, Ingleby Barn and Westerdale Barn lie on the site of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey in an idyllic setting, where endless footpaths radiate from the door. Accessed by a 2-mile drive, they are set on a working farm where sheep and cattle graze (farm machinery – children must be supervised) within the glorious North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Baysdale Abbey has been furnished and equipped to a very good standard. All rooms are spacious, light and airy with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Original wooden floors on the ground level blend with shuttered windows, cornices add decorative touches and open fires in the reception rooms provide a welcoming atmosphere. A large natural garden surrounds the house and is edged by a fenced beck, providing a good habitat for an array of wildlife. Dating back to the 1800s, the other three holiday properties offer character accommodation in a tranquil and idyllic location. Vaulted beamed ceilings and wood-burning stoves add to the charm and character providing a welcoming atmosphere. Offering 3 miles of sandy beaches is the historic port of Whitby with its picturesque harbour and cobbled streets. Here you can board the North Yorkshire Moors Steam Train (Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films) and take a memorable journey through the stunning Esk Valley. Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, Duncombe Park and Rievaulx Abbey are just a few of the treasures awaiting discovery. The coastal villages of Staithes, Runswick Bay and Sandsend all lie within 23 miles. This is an ideal holiday location at any time of the year. Shop 3 miles, pub 6 miles and restaurant 8 miles.

We had a wonderful stay at Ingleby Barn! The location was superb! More than what we expected. The barn was kept warm, neat and clean. Would be happy to recommend it to anyone. If I’m being picky, the only slight downside was there was no dishwasher and the cooker was slow, but these minor details wouldn’t stop us from booking the barn again (I just need to bring a pair of rubber gloves). Very happy there. Ali was helpful, too.

The general cleanliness was acceptable however there was clear water damage and decay to the internal walls (render flaking). there was no privacy to the kitchen/dining area by curtaining or other form of privacy screen which meant that particularly at evening/night that the occupants were clearly on view - there must be screening put in place - all the other accommodation units were private! The kitchen equipment was not in clean and sufficient condition - the pans were old and had detritus which needed cleaning. However the general comfort of the accommodation was good and the bathrooms were immaculate.
