About this property

Central location,comfy beds ,wild life,great views &reviews.Electric car charger

The Yorkshire Show week (commencing July 6th) is still available to book. We have always taken great pride in the cleanliness of the Barn,which is away from all neighbours and surrounded by farmland so easy to socially distance as required.Due to the Corona Virus we have further enhanced our cleaning procedures.
Fig Tree Barn is an extensively renovated property thoughtfully converted to the highest standards. It is detached and whilst located adjacent to our home, Lund House, it retains full privacy.Visitors now have their own private outside spaces.The door in the dining/lounge area of the barn leads onto a large and stunning roof terrace overlooking the orchard.Here you can sip your favourite tipple,relaxing on comfy rattan chairs with cushions and stools or watch the sun rising whilst you breakfast around the table or the sun setting in the evening. The barn overlooks an apple tree orchard with far reaching views towards the pretty village of Hunsingore, which is located by the River Nidd. There is a picnic bench for sitting on in a secluded, peaceful and sunny corner of the orchard.Many of our guests have commented on the wildlife they have seen from the lounge area including owls,hares,pheasants,hedgehogs, and deer .There is also a bird feeder which attracts many feathered visitors including woodpeckers,wrens,sparrows and bluetits..Outside the barn entrance, there is an ornamental pond with fountain and Koi carp and 2 fig trees growing up the wall, hence the name. We have recently welcomed some lovely Dutch (zwaltbles)rare breed sheep into our back field.They are very friendly and enjoy being stroked and you can watch them from the lounge windows.Have a look at our photos of them. There is ample and secure off road parking and a locked bike shed. From the attractive, glazed front entrance, an oak staircase leads up to the first floor accommodation, comprising a gallery landing, open plan lounge/dining area(with table and chairs) with oak floors and wood burning stove and fully fitted modern kitchen with breakfast bar and stools..There are 2 bedrooms, one double with fitted oak wardrobe and one with twin beds.There are 2 bathrooms, one en-suite and one with bath and overhead shower. The property is very light and airy thanks to its many windows and high ceilings.

Wonderful property in excellent location

This was our second visit to Fig Tree Barn and it met all our expectations. Suzanne and Frank were extremely welcoming and helpful. It is in a great location for visiting York, Harrogate, Knaresborough and all the surrounding countryside. The property is beautifully fitted out, has a balcony/terrace which catches the summer sun for much of the day. We had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time and would highly recommend it.

Luxury accomodation in a perfect location.

Chose this property for the proximity to a family wedding, but so glad we did. The accomodation is pure luxury, extremely comfortable, well equipped and with amazing mattresses for a fabulous nights sleep. You are set in the country but with easy access to visit numerous places easily. You can sit and enjoy watching the birds and wildlife. The hosts are very friendly and accomodating and have made a wonderful place to stay. Highly recomend. Thankyou.

Fabulous Accomodation

Fig Tree Barn was a lovely place to stay. It was spotlessly clean, decorated to a high standard with good sized rooms. The views from the lounge were impressive seeing rabbits and a family of deer. The hosts were very welcoming and gave us some useful tips for local places to visit. The location is perfect for York, Harrogate and Knaresborough.

Lovely Barn Conversion

My daughter and i stayed for a week at Fig Tree Barn. It was very clean with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was well appointed and there was plenty of hot water for showers. The Barn was very well positioned for trips to York, Harrogate and Wetherby. Suzanne was very welcoming and showed us round on arrival. She was on hand if we needed help (which we didn't) but wasn't pushy. We would stay again!

Exactly what we were looking for

We had a great stay at Fig Tree Barn. It was a handy central location to get to all the places we wanted to go: York, Harrogate, Knaresborough & Wetherby. It’s a lovely cosy home from home - very clean and well equipped. The surroundings are lovely and my young children loved the sheep in the neighbouring field. Suzanne and Frank were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Relaxed and comfortable property.

The owners were so welcoming and helpful. They offered some suggestions of things to do around the area. They were happy to help or answer any queries at the same time as giving us our space to enjoy our break. The property was cozy and very comfortable. We absolutely love the log fire too.

Home from Home...

What a fantastic find. We had such a great time at Fig Tree Barn that it was sad to leave. Situated fantastically close to A1(M) and betwixt Harrogate and York and just outside Wetherby for local amenities. We managed to see York over two days, Harrogate, North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales and even the Lake District. Wonderful. Suzanne and Frank are both very approachable and we felt at ease knowing we could call on them as needed. The decoration and comfort are of a high standard. Nicely appointed kitchen, a brilliant washing machine/drier and the most comfortable beds. The views of the paddock kept us entertained with the rabbit family and local woodpecker making daily appearances. I would thoroughly recommend Fig Tree Barn and will hopefully return as soon as we are able.

Great accommodation in well appointed location

An excellent barn conversion, spacious for the two of us and very well laid out. Good parking and plenty of private outdoor space, all set behind a private gate shared with the owners. Plenty of wildlife visit the field/garden. Location is ideal for the pretty towns of Wetherby, Knaresborough and Harrogate, with York and Leeds very accessible. Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks and Beningbrough are great places to visit too.

Review of Fig Tree Barn

Immaculate property - modern with great fittings and fixtures. All mod-cons provided and set in lovely county-side setting. Suzanne and Frank were perfect hosts - your accommodation helped to provide a very enjoyable week in North Yorkshire. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends. Hope to return in the future - many thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Margiotta

Host profile image
We are a recently retired married couple called Frank and Suzanne.We both had busy careers.Suzanne worked in Human Resource management and Frank ran a flooring and carpeting company.
However we wanted to keep active and started our barn conversion a year or so ago,managing the project ourselves and doing much of the work.
We were keen to have it as a holiday let and know we will enjoy meeting our guests and sharing with them our passion for the area and information on all the beautiful parts of Yorkshire to explore
We have spent much time and money to make the property into accommodation that we ourselves would love to stay in.We love the countryside and enjoy living in a rural location with no near neighbours but close to some friendly village communities.

Although the majority of our bookings are for 1 or 2 weeks,we can offer a minimum of 4 nights particularly during bank holidays,also low and mid seasons. If you are interested please contact us via an enquiry email and we will send you a quote and further information.

Why they chose this property

We had always wanted a property with land for keeping horses and other pets. Lund House has 3 acres with lovely farmland views and no close neighbours. However it is not remote as we are close to main roads and Wetherby,York and Harrogate are all an easy drive away.
We love the North Yorkshire countryside and Suzanne does regular walks with the Harrogate ramblers,rides a friend's horse and Frank enjoys his golf at Aldwark manor.From our home it is easy to visit so many places and we often also enjoy a day trip out to the coast(with fish and chips of course), the Dales and the North York moors.
Hunsingore village is a friendly and thriving community with regular events in the village hall and church and the local Bridge Inn is great for good meals and beverages.

What makes this property unique

There is plenty of secure parking within our grounds and a lock up shed for bikes if required.Whilst the barn is located in our grounds it is detached with its own entrance and far enough away to enjoy complete privacy.
Guests can walk a short distance (approx 5 minutes) to the Bridge Inn for meals or can walk into Hunsingore village along a footpath to explore the river Nidd and several rights of way.
The other member of our family is a chocolate labrador called Chino who is very friendly but has his own enclosed garden space to run around in.We also have lots of colourful koi carp fish in the pond who are also very friendly and enjoy eating from your hands.
