Sleeping up 12 in two dormitories, one of 8 and one of 4,  the barn is in a quiet location overlooking a small paddock and Eller Beck. Goathland village is a 15 minute stroll away along the farm road or on a path across fields. Located on a farm of about 40 acres in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park this is an ideal base for walking, cycling or simply relaxing on the farm or in the village of Goathland.

See our how to get here page for detailed directions and public transport advice. In Goathland, the farm is sign-posted next to the Goathland Hotel, opposite Goathland Garage. The farm is about 800m along the lane. The lane, which is a bridleway, is the trackbed of the original Grosmont to Pickering railway, and crosses a neighbouring farm to reach our site entrance, marked with sign boards. The bunkhouse and reception are a little further on, turning left, towards the house and farmyard.

Accommodation is provided in a converted stone-built barn, on two floors. Accommodation includes a lounge with solid fuel stove which provides the heating and hot water when the gas heating is off. The bunkhouse has a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and first floor dormitories; during 2012, conversion into two rooms for two, and two rooms for four will be made. Cloakroom facilities are in the adjacent connected building, consisting of one shower room with toilet and handbasin, one shower cubicle, and one toilet and handbasin cubicle. There is also a toilet and shower wet-room suitable for wheelchair users. The adjacent paddock can be booked for additional tents if required.

A booking form and occupancy list must be completed and sent to Abbot's House Farm at the address on the forms, along with a deposit or payment in full. Full payment must be received at least one calendar month before before your booking to secure your place. We can take bookings and payments over the phone, most cards are accepted, however your booking cannot be completed until both the booking form and occupancy list have been received.

All bookings must be paid for in advance and both booking and occupancy forms must be received before taking occupancy.
The bunkhouse barn is a family facility, although groups of scouts, guides or Duke of Edinburgh groups are welcome to stay with their leaders.
Nightly occupancy begins at 5pm, and finishes at 10am daily (whole building let or not). Day use is £95 per day extra or part thereof. A refundable £10 key deposit is required on arrival. Keys can be collected from Reception between 5pm and 9pm.

Please note that a £100 damage deposit will be levied on all bookings.  This will be refunded within seven (7) days if no damage to the building, contents or surrounds is evident after occupancy.  In the event of damages, an invoice will be sent to the occupier/party organiser, and the balance (or excess cost) will be refunded/charged to your credit/debit card. We apologise for having to introduce this measure. See full conditions for details.

Please note that this accommodation is not a party venue, and a non-smoking accommodation, please be respectful to others by keeping quiet after 11pm and leaving the barn as clean and tidy as you found it, especially the kitchen, hobs and ovens. See full conditions.
