Property code: OC-82543

Book a stay at this delightful stone holiday home set in Snainton, North Yorkshire, and indulge in long walks across dramatic moorland and through swathes of mature woodland. Located approximately 8 miles from the lively market town of Pickering and 9.5 miles from the seaside resort of Scarborough, this stone holiday home is also less than 2 miles from the end of the magnificent North York Moors National Park.

Plan forays out through your picturesque, countryside surroundings, as well as family trips to the coast. This property sleeps four people in accommodation that includes two bedrooms. It also welcomes one canine companion, making it ideal for dog-loving guests, and can be booked with another nearby cottage, which could suit those seeking a group holiday.

Make your way up to this traditional barn property and enter to find accommodation that has been carefully configured for your enjoyment and your comfort. Open the front door onto the reception hall (taking care as you do so to avoid the low lintel) and come right in to make yourselves at home. Leave your boots, shoes, jackets and coats in the hall then amble on through into the main living areas.

Head into the lounge to unwind for a while before you start to unpack and make plans for your exciting break. This comfortable room will also be the hub of your holiday home during the evening; the perfect place to relax after long days out in the fresh air, it is where you will be able to settle on the sofas, catch up on your day, read your book for a while and perhaps enjoy a film on the Smart TV. On warm days, open up the external doors in here to enjoy the fresh spring and summer Yorkshire air.

Make your way through into the kitchen as well, to find another great space with everything you need for your stay at this village home. Prepare meals here for your party and enjoy the presence of the dishwasher, which means no one has to wash up. A washing machine could also prove invaluable, especially after damp and muddy moorland walks. Prepare tasty feasts then serve up to your party at the dining table inside or out on the terrace whenever the weather permits.

There is a convenient ground-floor WC at this holiday home, plus a family shower room up on the first floor. Make your way up to this level to discover both the bedrooms as well. One of these is an inviting king-size room, while the other has a zip-and-link double bed that can be divided into 2’ 6” twins if arranged in advance.

Spill outside into the glorious Yorkshire sunshine on fine days. Bask in the warmth of the enclosed courtyard area over your first cup of coffee of the morning and choose to dine out here too as often as possible. There is bicycle storage at this property and parking for two cars is found on the road.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size and 1 king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as 2'6'' twins on request)
  • 1 shower room (upstairs), 1 WC (ground floor)

Really enjoyed our stay at Joby Barn. We love the Yorkshire moors and coast and this is a good base to discover it all. The barn is comfy and has everything you need and more. The information provided and communication from the owner was first class and so was the welcome pack too. Really glad we booked Joby Barn and would love to go back again.

Great holiday let very clean and in a nice area. There is nothing really to improve on apart from all I could think a cheese grater would have been handy. Lovely welcome pack even left baby wipes in the highchair the owner goes above and beyond.

Joby Barn was fabulous with everything we required and because Joby Cottage wasnt booked we could also enjoy the extra outside area which included a tranquil pond with beautiful cottage plants. A perfect relaxing holiday!

Lovely cosy barn conversion in a good location for exploring both the coast and moors of North East Yorkshire. The barn is in a very quiet road with a charming sunny courtyard. We had a lovely week enjoying the peace and listening to bird song in the morning.

Lovely little cottage. It was very tastefully decorated, very clean and comfortable and had everything you need. In a very quiet little village that had good walks locally. We had a relaxing time visiting the North yorkshire railway, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay.
