How near to York are the barns?

In a rural setting, the barns are approx 10 miles South of York and there are three methods of getting into York, taking between 20-30 minutes depending on mode of transport.

You can drive, take the bus, or drive to the Designer Outlet and get the park and ride bus from there. The quickest method is by car or public bus direct from the barns.

Is there a bus service available to/from York or Selby?

Arriva number 42 is the bus service which runs between Selby train station and York Piccadilly in the city centre, by passing the barns. The barns are equidistant between both and it takes under a half hour to travel from the barns into the city centre.

Where is the nearest pub?

There is a pub in the village of Kelfield as well as a few options along the riverbank walk in Cawood, the neighbouring village.

We can also offer you your very own pub on-site! For private guest use only, this is on request and with conditions in The Long Hall when the full site is rented only. Please contact us.

Where are the nearest train stations?

There is a train station at both Selby and York. Both run services to London Kings Cross. Selby station has the added bonus of a bus service that runs to the barns directly from the station.

York station has two options, to take the Designer Outlet service from across from the entrance to the station and then catch the Arriva 42 service from the road beside the outlet car park to complete your bus journey to the barns.

What are the check-in and check-out days of the week and times?

Our changeover days are Mondays and Fridays. We can offer a 3 night weekend break, a 4 night mid-week break or a weekly 7 night break from either a Monday or Friday.
