Booking.com Review Awards 2025
We have had many lovely guests visit us here at The Barn at Rigg End at Rigg End Farm near Rosedale Abbey and we have been delighted by their reaction and the wonderful Google reviews that our guests have left. We have also had superb reviews on both AirBnB & Booking.com
It is lovely to see many of our guests return time and again. We look forward to welcoming many new guests here in our special corner of the North York Moors National Park.

Wonderful Location – Nov 2025
Terrific stay. Hosts were magnificent. I'm tempted to give 4 stars to make this seem like a more legitimate rating but genuinely can't justify less than 5. Superb. Great view, Quiet, High-tech. PineMartinX, Nov 2025, Google Reviews 5/5
Exceeded all our expectations, Sounds grand but it did! – Oct 2025
Good size for the 4 of us (2 couples) as we had a bedroom en-suite each. Massive kitchen and living area with lovely comfortable sofas and fantastic views to the moors. Good location for exploring the coast as well as the moors. Plenty of places to visit and eat out too.

A wonderful & comfortable place to stay – Sept 2025
A wonderful location, and The Barn was extremely comfortable in every way. Everything had been thought of, and there were so many little touches to make it a delightful experience. Immaculately clean, everything worked well, and our charming host popping in with fresh produce was the icing on the cake! Certainly it was the most comfortable and welcoming place we had ever stayed in. Linda, September 2025 - Booking.com
Exceptional – Aug 2025
The location, the standard of accommodation were both excellent. Our host was helpful with suggestions about local attractions and pubs etc. Mike was also generous with his home grown produce. The accomodation certainly added to the quality of our holiday.

Excellent place to stay. Some good walks from the house and some great gravel cycling routes from the house also. We really enjoyed it. A big bonus for us was being able to charge the cars on site. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. We would stay again. June 2025 - Google Reviews 5/5 - HeeGee BeeGee
