About Suzanne Margiotta
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.
Suzanne Margiotta purchased this Barn in 1980
Why Suzanne Margiotta chose North York
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 Barn 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.

Cycling in Yorkshire
Thank you to Suzanne & Frank for making our cycling holiday a memorable one.
Wonderful
My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway in Northern England. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfectly located for N. Yorkshire Moors, Dales, York and surrounding areas
We had a lovely two week stay here, Suzanne and Frank are delightful hosts and the barn has everything you need for a home from home. The living areas are flooded with light and the views of the local wildlife and birds on the birdfeeder (which the hosts keep topped up) are a delight to watch from the large windows or the outdoor private patio area. The hosts' dog loves a head scratch and was always pleased to see us on our return from a day trip!
The barn is in a lovely rural area, but close enough to main travel routes, which makes it a perfect base for discovering the delights of the Yorkshire moors, dales, York or the lovely nearby town of Wetherby, which is perfect for supplies when needed, with a large Morrisons or Aldi to cater for all budgets. It also has some fantastic restaurants to cater for all tastes.
Higly recommended would love to return here again.
Excellent central spot for North York Moors, the Dales, York and more
Excellent central location close to M1 and allowing access to a variety of eastern coast attractions. Well appointed flat above barn will everything you could want. Wonderful bird feeder with woodpeckers and other birds visiting daily.
This barn is an absolute gem
Just returned from a week at this lovely barn. We received a lovely welcome from Suzanne and Frank (and of course, Chino the lovely brown ladrador). The barn is very well equipped with all you need, very clean and comfortable. Loved watching the birds feeding from the feeder in the garden. Saw loads of different birds including, woodpecker , coal tits, blue tits, robins etc., It is very well located to get to Wetherby, Harrogate and York. Would highly recommend this accommodation to everyone for a lovely chilled break.
Great location
Lovely flat with ample and modern equipment. The living area is flooded with light with great views of the bird-feeders and orchards. Very convenient location with York and many other attractions less than 30 min. away. Ignore the motorway when the A168 takes you in the right direction - it is seldom busy. The Nidd Gorge is a great walking place.
