About this property

Stunning Barn Conversion With Lovely views of Traditional Village Green

The barn is located in Nun Monkton a traditional village in beautiful Yorkshire Countryside, just ten minutes from the York Park and Ride, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, sampling village life and everything that York has to offer too. Cottages are dotted round a maypole and duck ponds, and footpaths give you direct access over the meadows to the rivers for long riverside walks. Round your walk off with a drink or meal at the village pub, The Alice Hawthorn. York, Harrogate, The Yorkshire Moors and The Dales are all short drives away. There is an excellent farm shop at Pool Bridge Farm near the bridge which specialises in local meat. There is a well stocked small Asda supermarket at the filling station on the A59 at the top of Pool Lane. If you regularly shop on the internet, both Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco deliver to the village. Small well behaved dogs are welcome.

Great rural location, beautiful village, comfortable house

This is a well equipped, clean and comfortable converted barn. The beds are good, the living space upstairs has great views and its only 8 miles from York. Would be even better if there was a small outside seating area ( but the common is just across the road).

Sparkling Clean and Great Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property. It is beautifully decorated and sparkling clean. The kitchen is particularly well equipped. The village of Nun Monkton is very peaceful, and the Alice Hawthorne pub, which is five minutes walk away serves excellent food. We enjoyed hiking in the nearby National Parks, a visit to York Minster, and going to Fountains Abbey, a spectacular National Trust property that is not far away.

Our third stay and another wonderful week. We love both Lane End Barn and Nun Monkton. The Barn is beautifully presented and equipped with everything you would need. Boo is helpful and friendly whilst also allowing you to enjoy your holiday and give you plenty of space. The Dyson fan was really appreciated during a spell of hot weather during our stay and the upstairs living room and Velux rooflights allow a lovely breeze. We look forward to our next visit. Thank you Boo!

Wonderful property - brilliant location

The barn conversion has been really well done with 2 beds 2 bathrooms on the ground floor and a really well equipped kitchen and dining/living area on the top floor. Decor shows good taste! Boo was really helpful and phoned me before the stay. Everything was perfect. The village itself is lovely and we can recommend The Alice Hawthorn for dinner. Can’t wait to come back.

Had a wonderful 4 night stay in a beautiful quiet village. Accommodation was clean, comfortable, well equipped and quiet. Lovely touches of fresh garden flowers, jar of chocolate cookies and tea/coffee, jug of milk supplied. We were made to feel very welcome by the host and communication was clear and concise. We loved the wandering, grazing cows and families of ducks and geese walking around.The local pub The Alice Hawthorn served wonderful food and drink and was well worth a visit but I would advise to book in advance.The location for us to Ripon Races/Harrogate/York was perfect and we loved returning to our quiet, peaceful retreat. I would definitely recommend this property.

A great place to relax and unwind.

Brilliant little property that was perfect for a few days relaxing away from it all. The open plan kitchen/living area on the first floor has a lovely view out over the village green and we were treated to an assortment of wildlife including the village cows grazing. Downstairs the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Being just 10 min drive from one of York's park and ride is very convenient. Overall we had a wonderful time and Boo made us feel very welcome.

Lovely ‘upside down’ barn conversation in a very quiet and lovely village. It had everything we needed and more for a relaxing stay. Close enough to York for easy visits, but far enough away to feel very remote and cut off.Plenty of cooking equipment and utensils, lovely 1st floor living, kitchen and dining room with nice views of the village green.2 good bedrooms and 2 bathrooms - comfy beds.Features like the little slit windows, the upside down configuration, the car port and the location in an authentic village (complete with ducks ponds and grazing cows) makes this quite a unique stay.Nice touches with the welcome milk, biscuits, teas and coffee, and a lovely personal welcome from Boo.Would definitely stay again.

A lovely property in a lovely village

We loved staying at this beautifully converted building in the lovely village of Nun Monkton. A property with a unique character and in a nice and quiet village that feels like it’s in the deep countryside yet it’s amazingly easy and short drive to visit nearby York and Harrogate. The RHS Garden Harlow Carr at Harrogate we’re stunning and they even have a Betty’s Tea room at the gardens which does a splendid afternoon tea. The Barn.This was a special place to stay and nicely decorated character property. Would highly recommend staying here. Our host was superb and very helpful and kind. Nun Monkton has a unique charm and the highest Maypole in England ! The local village pub serves excellent food (though you do have to book ahead as it’s very popular) we also rented a self drive boat from the village to the day which was a lovely experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ms Boo Orman

Host profile image
I have lived in Nun Monkton for over 40 years and had a Good Food Guide recommended restaurant in York . When I retired from the demands of restaurant life, I become involved in the wine trade and was a tutor for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. My travels have taken me all over the world and there is still a lot more to see. I am a keen gardener; play golf and love walking in the North Yorkshire Moors, Wolds and Dales with friends.

Why they chose this property

Reasons for buying property in this location
I arrived in Yorkshire 40 years ago by accident having sold a restaurant in Essex. I was staying with friends who suggested I looked at a cottage in Nun Monkton which was for sale. I fell in love with the place, bought it, opened and restaurant in York and kept a horse in the barn. When the restaurant was sold it was clear something drastic had to be done to stop the barn falling down. I took a gamble and embarked on a full scale conversion. The horse had to go, but I have had a lot of happy guests in his place since.

What makes this property unique

Nun Monkton is the most glorious village and I count myself very lucky to live here. Apart from the charm of the place, with its maypole, duck ponds, a church boasting pre Raphaelite stained glass windows and a pub with fabulous food, we are just ten minutes from a York Park and Ride and have easy access to the North York’s Moors and The Dales. The grade 2 listed barn is carefully converted, warm and cosy with a log burning stove and great views over the village green and open country.
I am on hand in case of emergencies but know too that privacy is important. Friends and family often stay in the barn and they are my fiercest critics. If it's good enough for my 90 year old mother ......
