Luxury Barn Nr York with Sauna, ideal for families, friends up to 8 guests

Beautifully converted barn, offering exceptional quality, modern holiday accommodation with stunning barrel sauna and cold plunge tub about 20 minutes from York City Centre. Ideal for a relaxing getaway or celebration, with the advantage of being close to the beautiful city of York.

A great private space for families or friends including the less mobile with access to a large twin / super-king bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Wheelchair accessible

Large open plan sitting room, open to exposed beams with log-burner. A well-equipped kitchen and dining room suitable for seating eight (extendable to ten).

Stairs lead up to hallway with access to Master bedroom with king sized bed and ensuite shower room; a further bedroom with two single beds (or one super-king); and a large family bathroom with bath, shower, basin and wc. Mezzanine overlooking the open plan sitting area has a pool table and beds which can be laid to a king sized bed or two singles. A heavy curtain across the balcony allows privacy for guests.

Free Wifi with super fast broadband. Laundry facilities include a washing machine and drier. Underfloor heating throughout provided by ground source heat pump.

BBQ and outdoor games available and plenty of space to play them and kick a football.

PLEASE NOTE: No Saturday check ins or check outs

Launde Barn is a unique, high quality barn conversion offering privacy and style just a short distance north of York. The village of Sutton on the Forest is charming, with a popular tearoom, Miss Daisy's, just 5 minutes walk away, a Georgian stately home, Sutton Park, a beautiful 19th century church, a recently opened whisky/gin distillery, a delicious Italian restaurant and a large recreation ground with play areas, boules, football pitch and table tennis table.

The village has easy access by bus into York (for attractions such as the famous York Minster, National Railway Museum, the Yorvik Viking Centre, the Yorkshire Chocolate Story, the City Walls and Racecourse) or the nearby Georgian town of Easingwold.

The barn is ideally situated for access to the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors and other attractions such as Castle Howard, Eden Camp, the Yorkshire Air Museum, Ampleforth Abbey and School and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby. Village shops, both community owned, are located in the nearby villages of Huby and Stillington.

A beautiful barn in a great location
We rented the barn for four nights for a family birthday party. Everything is decorated to the highest standard with beautiful bedding, towels and soft furnishings. All the bedrooms are a good size. We loved the open plan kitchen and lounge and the dining space was perfect for our party. We were greeted warmly by our host and nothing was too much trouble. The outdoor space is fabulous and the village is beautiful. We had a wonderful time from start to finish.

Second visit to this property
We came back to visit with other family members and enjoyed our stay just as much as the first. Some of us were a little under the weather and so it was lovely to have a relaxing, beautiful environment in which to rest. We were even able to avail ourswlves of the sauna which had been installed since the last time we visited back in September. A delightful property! i wish we could find something similar to one day for us to live in!

Beautiful barn getaway.
The barn was absolutely perfect for our family get together. A real home from home. We all enjoyed our time thoroughly. Our hosts were very good at communicating which made organizing our stay much easier. Will miss waking up to see the alpaca and sheep in field opposite!

Wonderful accommodation
We spent five days in the property which was extremely spacious for five adults. Everything was perfect in a lovely relaxing setting within easy reach of York and the beautiful countryside. Facilities were excellent with everything you could possibly need. The local pub was friendly with very good food and a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this property.

The property was lovely. All of the rooms had beautiful furnishing and comfortable beds. We were also impressed by how clean and organized everything was. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any question we had. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy day trips to Castle Howard, Sutton Bank Preserve and York.

Perfect for what we needed to get together as a family for the first time in years. Very nice property, thoughtfully ready for us and a lovely cake to welcome us. Really friendly and helpful when there were things we needed. The location is lovely and the children loved the alpaca and walking in the woods. Thank you both!

Beautiful barn - perfect for a group of friends !
We had a brilliant weekend at the barn - they have done an amazing job of renovating it and it had everything we needed. The furnishings and overall finish are all great quality, if it was the summer we would have certainly made use of the terrace and outdoor eating area. The kids loved the paddock and enjoyed feeding the friendly sheep ! Highly recommended - thanks for your hospitality and we hope to return again !

Beautiful converted barn near York
The barn at Launde Farm is clean, spacious and brilliantly located for York and north East Yorkshire. The barn is dog friendly and the woods and garden were ideal for our dog along with local walks around the village. There is so much to do in the local area. Castle Howard is nearby and York is a short drive or bus journey from the village. There are plenty of good local pubs including one in the village.

A beautiful place to stay and relax
The property is not only stunning, it is set in the beautiful countryside with sheep, rabbits and even a friendly Alpaca. There’s tons of room inside, we were a party of 8 and a small dog. There’s also loads of room to play and explore outside. You can sit in the garden and eat breakfast/dinner together as there is a large garden table. My mum is in a wheelchair so the downstairs bedroom with en-suite was perfect for her and dad. There’s lots of great things to do for all ages within a short car journey. I would definitely recommend this excellent property.

Beautiful barn and a fantastic weekend away
I found the barn online and planned to take my fiancé away with our closest friends and surprise him on his 30th birthday. The barn was the perfect location, none of us wanted to leave on the last day. The owner Cyntra couldn’t do enough for us, even filled the ice tray and baked a cake for the birthday boy. The barn is finished to the highest standard and is a perfect location to hop on a bus into the centre of york, which we did on the Saturday. We ate in the local pub on the Friday night, great food and atmosphere the chef even came out to greet us and say happy birthday! Loved our stay would definitely return, an absolute must if you’re thinking of getting away to york but maybe don’t want to be in the centre of it all. Thank you once again Cyntra x

This house is beautiful, there is everything you may need and more. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure your stay is enjoyed, we were delayed in our arrival time and had ordered a food delivery which the host very kindly received and put away in the fridge. Peaceful and close to the Dales where we enjoyed lovely walks. The sauna and lumi pod was a nice treat too! Would highly recommend to anybody wanting a family get away. You will not want for anything, house is very well equipped and lovely lemon drizzle cake upon arrival. Thank you!!

Exceeded expectations!
My first thought when we got to the venue was ‘oh wow this is beyond what I expected!’ I was blown away at the beauty of the property and surroundings, the layout and finishing touches of the property make it so homely but still clean & well finished without being crowded. The extra touch of a homemade loaf and a little note was such a treat, everything had been thought of and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, I will definitely recommend to friends & family. Communication was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble me. Thank you Marcus & Cintra for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Such beautiful accommodation which had everything we needed. The layout was perfect for us and having the pool table and the assortment of games was great. The bonus of a sauna was great! The grounds were lovely with the sheep and Beebee the alpaca who was really entertaining. The woods were beautiful for a wander and we even managed to see the owl. Thank you for a perfect week.
