The Barn

As we were visiting Towton we looked for a B&B in the area and found The Barn. The reviews were excellent and we have to say our stay lived up to them. Very welcoming owners, comfortable bed, great breakfast and ideal location for visiting this area.

We discovered this little gem when looking for a stopover somewhere along the A1. It is a small but very special place, only a few rooms but they have been decorated very tastefully and the decor is beautiful and very fresh. The village is very pretty and we had an excellent meal at the Crown just a few metres away from the Barn. The bed at the Barn was lovely and big and very comfortable. There was a lovely selection of biscuits, crisps, teas, coffees etc. The hosts were very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The couple have won awards for their breakfasts and you could see why. My husband ordered, as part of his breakfast, the fresh fruit. I didn't because i thought it would be a bit of chopped up apple and a bit of tinned fruit in an overly sweet syrup. However it was a beautifully arranged plate of two different types of melon, arranged in circle with lots of fresh berries and other fruits artfully arranged on the plate. We then had warm, flaky croissants, my husband went for the full English which he rates as excellent and I had scrambled eggs, with smoked salmon on toasted bagels. It was delicious but I couldn't eat it all but was offered a box to take away - it made a lovely lunch when I got home. As you can tell, I would thoroughly recommend the Barn.

We stayed in room 4, and it was beautiful. The room was an excellent size and the en suite was also great. There was really nothing to fault about the room. I had a parking space directly outside the room, which was great. The hosts were very nice people, and the breakfast was excellent! I would highly recommend this hotel.
