The Dovecote Barns offers you a taste of country living in the sumptuously furnished surroundings of these new holiday 18th century barn conversions. Using only renewable energy, you can enjoy year round luxury and comfort with no compromise to you or the environment.

There are three barns (sleeping 2,4,6 people), devotedly restored and including hand-made country kitchens with granite worktops, 6 en-suite bedrooms with luxury mattresses and individually designed contemporary bathrooms, log stoves and under-floor heating. All offer the highest standard of luxury, comfort, furnishings, art and design.  Each barn has its own private garden area with barbeque for dining al fresco.

Relax in the open countryside beside the River Ouse, or stroll through the medieval streets of one of England's most ancient cities - York. We are on a direct bus route into York city centre and within easy reach of some of Yorkshire's best historic estates and attractions.

The barns are a perfect retreat for wedding parties, family reunions or any group, whether couples, friends or families. A large group of 12 can dine together in the Haybarn.

Setting new standards in sustainable luxury self-catering

'This was our fifth visit to the barns, we have stayed in all three barns, they are exceptional.  The attention to detail is fantastic, the decoration, the furniture, the services are all first class.  Brigita and her family do everything to make your stay a perfect one, nothing is too much trouble for her.  My daughter is in her final year at York University, we have always stayed here when we visit as the location is perfect for York (and the surrounding areas) which is a fifteen minute drive from the barns.  The Dovecote Barns are perfect, nothing more, nothing less!  

‘I don't usually consider short breaks in self catering accommodation to be a break. However, staying in Dovecote Barns is like staying in a 5 star hotel. The welcome basket just about provides your breakfast. Every need has been thought of - the decor, comfort, facilities - excellent.

‘Thanks for everything.  From the moment we came up the drive it felt very special.  The Irishman’s Cottage and your welcome – all wonderful.  We have loved this, our first visit to Yorkshire, York is now a firm favourite and we still haven’t managed to do or see all that we wanted to.  We wish you both every success and once again, thanks.’

‘The Hay Barn and The Dovecote perfect for ten of us. Very well appointed and lovely surroundings. Huge table and candelabra particularly welcome for wine drinking and chin wagging. We’ll be back! Thank you.’

‘Thank you very much for making us feel so welcome.  A beautiful barn converted very stylishly, making it a wonderful place to stay. We ‘stayed in’ lots while we stayed here and so having a fantastically equipped kitchen made life a lot easier with cooking for the family and friends.  We had a wonderful time here and would highly recommend it to others.
