The Little Barn

10/10/2026

I don’t generally believe in discounts, as I know the value of The Little Barn and everything that makes it special 🤎

However, November can be a tricky month, so I usually make an exception… and this year is no different!

🍂 The usual November offer is back🍂

🍁 Any 3 nights for the price of 2. 🍁

This can’t be booked on the website so
drop me a message if you fancy a little November escape.

🎄 Christmas, but without the chaos…

I’ve finally got my act together and released the Christmas & New Year dates at The Little Barn.

Come for 3 nights over Christmas, 3 nights over New Year, or choose those wonderfully lazy days in between when nobody knows what day it is anyway. 😂

And if 3 nights isn’t quite enough, stay a little longer. There’s no rush here.

Think fire pit, pizza oven,country walks, cosy evenings, beautiful views, dark skies and absolutely nowhere you need to be.

No cooking for a house full of people.
No rushing around.
Just a little bit of Yorkshire Dales magic and time to switch off.

Christmas & New Year The Little Barn. 🎄🤎

Richmond ( the northern one and the original ) was looking particularly stunning earlier this evening 😍

What a backdrop for a bike race!

Photographed this afternoon during Stage 4 of the Tour of Britain as the peloton climbed Grinton Moor. With the heather in full bloom across the Swaledale moorland and the patchwork fields of the Yorkshire Dales stretching out below, the landscape was every bit as impressive as the racing itself.

A brilliant advertisement for cycling and for one of England's most beautiful valleys.

This evening’s eclipse.

Cloud cover hid most of the eclipse tonight, drifting across the sky just when the light tried to break through.

But those brief moments were enough to change the valley. The unusual glow picked out the road in Arkengarthdale and the stone walls around it, giving the landscape a different kind of presence.

Even without a clear view of the eclipse, the light made the dale feel still and otherworldly for a while.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, earlier this year we welcomed a few hens to our garden, (back when everything was beautifully green!). They’ve been keeping us well supplied with fresh eggs ever since.

So, while they’re still laying, we’ll leave a few free-range eggs for you to enjoy during your stay . Whether they’re scrambled for breakfast or tucked into a picnic, they’re a little taste of country life.

If you’ve been thinking about escaping to the Dales, we still have a little midweek availability in August. Come for the peace, the views and the fresh air… and great eggs !
