Very clean and has everything you need. Central to York only 10 minutes drive to park and ride. Also some loverly pubs close serving great food. Gold cup Inn is well worth a visit.

The various Park and Ride stations are nearby too. The cottage itself is comfortable and well equipped for any length of stay. Dogs have a well enclosed garden to play in and be safe. We enjoyed our stay while we were there and would heartily recommend at The Barn.
