5 Star Barn in Hunsingore Nr Harrogate,Yorks, UK Great Location, 20 Minute York Or Harrogate, Easy Access To Key Beauty spots
Fig Tree Barn is a recently 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 space.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. Many of our guests have commented on the wildlife they have seen from the lounge area including 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. 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.
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 West Yorkshire
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.

Great Accommodation, Great Location
Had a fantastic stay here. Great location for The Dales, North Yorkshire Moors, York, Castle Howard etc etc. The accommodation was first class and couldn't of been any better. Would highly recommend and will be first choice if we are ever heading to Yorkshire again.
Fantastic accommodation and holiday
My family and I had a wonderful week's stay in Fig Tree Barn. The accommodation was outstanding with Suzanne and Frank being excellent hosts. The barn is outstanding value and was the perfect base with which to explore North Yorkshire. I would recommend this property and think that the outdoor terrace would be perfect on a warm sunny day. Thanks Suzanne and Frank for having us.
Excellent property. Well maintained. Comfortable. Private outside area.
Convenient for days out to Weatherby York Harrogate. James Herriot Museum great fun. National trust property nearby. Plenty of nice eating places. Great butchers, fishmongers, deli, fruiterers, as well as Morrisons and M and S foodstore.
Thanks to Suzanne and Frank.
Fabulous holiday.
Lovely comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean - thank you!
We had a very relaxing short break at Fig Tree Barn. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very well equipped. It is ideally situated to visit Leeds, York, Harrogate and all the surrounding tourist attractions. Thank you very much Suzanne and Frank for a lovely stay and we would definitely like to stay here again.
Lovely Barn conversion
Lovely Barn conversion in a great location , ideal for visiting family and sightseeing .
Train station down the road if you don't want to drive, we used it to get into Leeds . Easy driving distance to York and Castle Howard . Very near Wetherby , under £20 return for a taxi and a great night out .
Barn very clean and well equipped , wanted for nothing .
Thank you
Perfection
We stayed at the property over the New Year period. It was perfect for our needs. You are within easy driving distance of York, Wetherby and Harrogate, which are all great places to explore. We also found the proximity to the A1 great, but once in the property, it was so peaceful. The accomodation is immaculate, as beautiful as any hotel, but with all the comforts of a gorgeous pad. We will be back, in fact we didnt want to leave.
Map
Coast/Beach:
The beautiful North Yorkshire coast is just over one hours drive away via easy roads. We have the world heritage resort of Whitby with its famous Abbey and connection to Captain Cook and Bram Stoker's Dracula, Scarborough with its lovely sandy beaches and ancient castle and Flamborough Head, which is an RSPB sanctuary with magnificent cliffs. Bridlington and Robin Hoods bay are also easily accessible for a great day out, along with the quaint seaside villages of Runswick Bay and Staithes.
Travel:
The nearest airport is Leeds/Bradford, ( approx 20 miles away). The ferry port of Hull is approx 60 miles away. The use of a car or motorbike is highly recommended for exploring Yorkshire from the property, although there are good and flat cycling routes for the fit and active. Secure off-road parking is provided for up to 2 cars and bikes. There is a train station at Cattal (approx 1.5 miles) with frequent trains to York, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Leeds.A new York park & ride has opened A59

Hunsingore village on the river Nidd is less than a half mile walk via a road footpath. Wetherby, an attractive market town, is 3 miles away (an off-road cycle track is also available.) York and the Spa town of Harrogate are both 8 miles away and an easy drive (park and ride) or train journey. There are so many nearby places to visit, including Fountains Abbey, Newby Hall,Harewood House,Beningborough Hall (NT).The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors are only an hours drive on easy main roads.

Wetherby is only 3 miles away and has free parking in the town. It also has a large Morrisons supermarket and a local market on Thursdays. There are many restaurants, including a Thai, Indian and Italian, plus plenty of takeaways and cafes, including a Costa.

You can visit the fantastic York minster, walk around the ancient walls, explore the Shambles with its overhanging shops, stroll along the river, take a boat trip, visit the Jorvik viking museum, the famous round tower and so many museums and churches. Harrogate is also a lovely genteel spa town, set on the stray ( a huge tract of green preserved space) and with the pump room museum, the Turkish baths, the Royal Hall and Valley gardens.There are 2 famous Betty's tearooms where you are transported back to a bygone age of elegance,one centrally located and one in the Harlow Carr gardens.
