Apartment One, The Carriage House.

Summary:
Four Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms. Please see details in 'The Space' section. The apartment is the ground floor of a stunning converted barn in the beautiful village of Bilbrough. Large open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area for relaxing and eating. Dogs Welcome (by prior arrangement). York 5m, Designer Outlet 6m, Park & Ride 4m, The Norman's 1m, Woolas Barn 4.5m, Hornington Manor 5m, Oakwood at Ryther 12m. Easy access to A64/A1/M1.

The Space:
200 year old barn, originally a Carriage House, set in beautiful open countryside yet only two minutes from the A64 and six miles from York. Ideally located for York Races. Three minute drive from The Normans wedding venue, ten minute drive from Woolas Barn, 15 minutes from Hornington Manor and Priory Cottages, 20 minutes from The Oakwood at Ryther.

The Carriage House is two separate apartments and two separate studios within the same building.

Apartment One is on the ground floor, Apartment Two is on the first floor and Studios 3A and 3B are on the second floor. There is one door to the building and then separate doors into each apartment/studio. There is one communal stairway. There are eight bedrooms in total, four in Apartment One, two in Apartment Two and one in each studio.

Please note that one of the bedrooms in Apartment One is a bunk bed room, more suitable for children. The second double bedroom is situated off the bunk bed room, separated by a curtain and the twin room is above this double room, accessed via a spiral staircase and therefore not suitable for the elderly or infirm. This makes the space perfect for families and we recommend that guests staying in this apartment know each other. Every apartment can sleep extra guests using either sofa beds or Jay-Be beds.

If you have booked both apartments and both studios then you have use of our Hygge Room which is the one in the photos with the donkey picture! This room can seat 14/18 people and is a few paces from the main door to The Carriage House. The use of this is included in the price you pay when you book both apartments and both studios. We also have a beautiful garden area which is about 50m from The Carriage House. This is free to use for all guests.

A bath towel and a hand towel per guest is provided.

Please note also that The Carriage House is over 200 years old so it is not a modern building! We have retained as many original features as possible. Sound can travel between the apartments; we clearly state this and ask for 'quiet hours' in our house rules. If you are looking for accommodation that is a sound-proof box then this might not be for you. You might hear footsteps from above and/or below and possibly the sound of a TV. Because of this, we provide earplugs for guests who are light sleepers. That said, the only noise you will hear externally is the sound of owls and foxes and possibly a tractor. There are no rowdy pub/club goers, very (very!) little traffic and no sirens or music.

***********************OUTSIDE SPACE - RAWS***************************

Our Relaxation And Wellness Space (RAWS) has a five/six seater Aspen hot tub, a lounging area and a dining area - all under wooden gazebos. There is also a sun terrace, a bar area, a studio for yoga and meditation - or dance classes or still life drawing - and a large decked area. This facility is available to book when you book the accommodation. Please note that there is an additional charge for use of this area - please ask for prices. If you would like to book the Hot Tub only (exclusive use), the price is £10pp for a 90 minute session. Please contact us to book.
