About this property

Stunning Barn Conversion With Lovely views of Traditional Village Green

The barn is located in Nun Monkton a traditional village in beautiful Yorkshire Countryside, just ten minutes from the York Park and Ride, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds, sampling village life and everything that York has to offer too. Cottages are dotted round a maypole and duck ponds, and footpaths give you direct access over the meadows to the rivers for long riverside walks. Round your walk off with a drink or meal at the village pub, The Alice Hawthorn. York, Harrogate, The Yorkshire Moors and The Dales are all short drives away. There is an excellent farm shop at Pool Bridge Farm near the bridge which specialises in local meat. There is a well stocked small Asda supermarket at the filling station on the A59 at the top of Pool Lane. If you regularly shop on the internet, both Sainsburys, Morrisons and Tesco deliver to the village.

Schöner Familienurlaub
Wir haben unsere zwei Ferienwochen in Nun Monkton sehr genossen. Die Ferienwohnung ist mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet, die Kommunikation mit Boo war sehr unkompliziert, und wir erhielten den ein oder anderen hilfreichen Tipp. Unsere zahlreichen Ausflüge nach York, Harrogate, usw. ließen den Urlaub viel zu schnell vorübergehen. Vielen Dank!

A great place to relax and unwind.
Brilliant little property that was perfect for a few days relaxing away from it all. The open plan kitchen/living area on the first floor has a lovely view out over the village green and we were treated to an assortment of wildlife including the village cows grazing. Downstairs the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. Being just 10 min drive from one of York's park and ride is very convenient. Overall we had a wonderful time and Boo made us feel very welcome.

What an Extraordinary Property
We stayed for 6 nights and found this to be an excellent location and accommodations. It is located close to York, about 15-20 miles. There is a park and ride close to Nun Monkton that I would strongly suggest, makes it easier to avoid the traffic and parking in York. As for our host, she was very available and patient. There were issues with VRBO but I was able to contact Boo directly and she always responded quickly. Very patient! I’m just sorry we didn’t get a chance to meet her! In my VRBO experience, this was a superb property. Lots of room and a fully stocked kitchen. Don’t let the term “barn” dissuade you from booking this VRBO, you won’t regret it. The village of Nun Monkton is charming, several wonderful walks around the village. The Alice Hawthorn restaurant is only a 10 minute walk from the barn and well worth it. There is also a pub. We look forward to returning to this wonderful location.

We enjoyed our stay at Lane End Barn very much. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean on arrival. Nun Monkton and the surrounding area are beautiful, and it was easy to visit York and Harrogate. Would return in a heartbeat and thoroughly recommend this property.

Wonderful property - brilliant location
The barn conversion has been really well done with 2 beds 2 bathrooms on the ground floor and a really well equipped kitchen and dining/living area on the top floor. Decor shows good taste! Boo was really helpful and phoned me before the stay. Everything was perfect. The village itself is lovely and we can recommend The Alice Hawthorn for dinner. Can’t wait to come back.

Such a great stay
We had a fantastic time and who’s we could have stayed longer than our two weeks to further explore Yorkshire Dakes and Moors. The house is just as pictured and very nice. Nun Monkton is a treasure. We often say by the window in the morning to watch the village come to life. If you want a peaceful and charming place in the Yorkshire countryside, this is it. Our host, Boo was so helpful and friendly. Love this place.

A lovely property in a lovely village
We loved staying at this beautifully converted building in the lovely village of Nun Monkton. A property with a unique character and in a nice and quiet village that feels like it’s in the deep countryside yet it’s amazingly easy and short drive to visit nearby York and Harrogate. The RHS Garden Harlow Carr at Harrogate we’re stunning and they even have a Betty’s Tea room at the gardens which does a splendid afternoon tea. The Barn.This was a special place to stay and nicely decorated character property. Would highly recommend staying here. Our host was superb and very helpful and kind. Nun Monkton has a unique charm and the highest Maypole in England ! The local village pub serves excellent food (though you do have to book ahead as it’s very popular) we also rented a self drive boat from the village to the day which was a lovely experience.

About the host

Hosted by Ms Boo Orman

Host profile image
I have lived in Nun Monkton for over 40 years and had a Good Food Guide recommended restaurant in York . When I retired from the demands of restaurant life, I become involved in the wine trade and was a tutor for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. My travels have taken me all over the world and there is still a lot more to see. I am a keen gardener; play golf and love walking in the North Yorkshire Moors, Wolds and Dales with friends.

Why they chose this property

Reasons for buying property in this location
I arrived in Yorkshire 40 years ago by accident having sold a restaurant in Essex. I was staying with friends who suggested I looked at a cottage in Nun Monkton which was for sale. I fell in love with the place, bought it, opened and restaurant in York and kept a horse in the barn. When the restaurant was sold it was clear something drastic had to be done to stop the barn falling down. I took a gamble and embarked on a full scale conversion. The horse had to go, but I have had a lot of happy guests in his place since.

What makes this property unique

Nun Monkton is the most glorious village and I count myself very lucky to live here. Apart from the charm of the place, with its maypole, duck ponds, a church boasting pre Raphaelite stained glass windows and a pub with fabulous food, we are just ten minutes from a York Park and Ride and have easy access to the North York’s Moors and The Dales. The grade 2 listed barn is carefully converted, warm and cosy with a log burning stove and great views over the village green and open country.
I am on hand in case of emergencies but know too that privacy is important. Friends and family often stay in the barn and they are my fiercest critics. If it's good enough for my 90 year old mother ......
