The Experience

A beamed barn in a courtyard next to the owners’ 18th-century farmhouse and a very comfortable base from which to explore this gorgeous countryside. Bedrooms are bright, spacious and have en suites. One can be partitioned off if you’d prefer to come just as a two, or take both if you’re a four.

Denise and David leave you fresh flowers in season and good maps so you can plan your days out. There are spectacular walks and cycles just 20 minutes away on the Moors and 25 minutes to the Dales. The nearest town is Thirsk where you’ll find good pubs and shops for supplies – including a twice-weekly market.

Return to warmth, comfort and a quiet spot in the garden – it’s beautifully scented with roses, delphiniums and peonies, or later in the year with chrysanthemums and dahlias. There are plenty of seating areas just for you, so take your sundowner out here and relish the peace.

Reviews

You'll receive a very warm welcome here - owners Denise and David are a delight to chat to and will make your stay as comfortable as possible. Breakfasts look delicious and their garden is fun to explore - there's a lot to see in the local area too so you won't be bored here.

Christopher

Carlton Barns is a truly exceptional B & B. Perfectly located, beautifully converted to the highest standard of comfort and the best breakfasts we have ever found - all at a very reasonable price.


Sandra

Denise made us very welcome at her b & b. We stayed for only one night but it felt like longer. We cycled around Thirsk on both days of the weekend - from Carlton Barns. Denise made us mid morning coffee on the Sunday, after the most delicious and well cooked breakfast I think I have ever tasted. We also had home made preserves and toast. We badly needed a short break and we would definately stay there again. We whole heartedly recommend Carlton Barns.


Jill

Lovely quiet location. Very hospitable hosts. Comfortable beautifully decorated room. Great breakfast choice. Highly recommend.


Freddie

We do not often stay in a B&B, but this is the best one so far and will be hard to beat. Lovely room with very comfortable bed and super shower. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice offered in a cosy welcoming dining room. Nothing was too much trouble for the delightful hosts, Denise and David who gave us lots of information on where to visit in the area. We would definitely return.


Location

The neighbourhood

Sandhutton is an extremely pretty conservation village, midway between Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Moors. So it's walkers' heaven in both directions, and good for cyclists too. There's racing in Ripon, Thirsk and York, and the market towns are charming, in particular Ripon, 10 miles. Dining pubs abound; worth a trip is The Crab and Lobster, 4 miles.

Local points of interest from Denise & David Mason

  • Situated between the majestic North York Moors and the undulating softer Dales National Parks in the heart of Herriot countryside. 5 minutes from A1 and midway between London and Edinburgh.
  • Explore the great market towns of Thirsk, Ripon, Northallerton and the Spa town of Harrogate, or hop on a train to historic York with great shopping.
  • There are local race courses, golf courses, fishing lakes, great walking, cycling on the doorstep. Tour James Herriot country and home of the Yorkshire Vet in Thirsk.
  • Further enjoyment abounds in visiting the wonderful Abbey ruins of Fountains, Jervaulx, Bylands & Rievaulx or the numerous National Trust Properties in the area. Still more to see at fabulous Newby Hall and Gardens or Harlow Carr RHS.
  • Throughout the year there are many agricultural, flower, music, art and craft festivals in the area including the Great Yorkshire Show. Even cookery schools should you get bored.
  • And when you've had enough sightseeing, relax and taste some of the great Yorkshire beers, visit Betty's Tearooms or sample some great Yorkshire food in the many good cafes and restaurants locally.

Introducing

Denise & David Mason

Denise and David originally moved from London to Yorkshire for work, and never left. They renovated from scratch and they have made a lot of friends through letting the barn. Apart from looking after guests, they enjoy gardening and growing their own veg, and give you free roam of the garden. Gertie the dog is the icing on the cake.
