Studio 3A, La Maison de la Calèche.

Summary:
This beautiful studio is within a stunning converted barn in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Bilbrough. There are vaulted ceilings and exposed beams throughout, renovated to an extremely high standard. Plenty of walks in open countryside to be enjoyed with four public footpaths in the village.. One mile from The Normans Wedding Venue. It’s only 6 miles into central York ,10 minutes by car from the Designer Outlet Village and six minutes to the Park & Ride (Askham Bar) for York.

The Space:
200 year old barn - originally a Carriage House, set in beautiful open countryside yet only two minutes from the A64 and four miles from York. Ideally located for York Races and a three minute drive from The Normans wedding venue. It is a ten minute drive from Woolas Barn wedding venue and 15 minutes from both Hornington Manor and Priory Cottages. The village is quiet with little traffic and therefore a safe environment for children. There is a small but lovely playground in the village. Storage for bicycles can be arranged by request.

There is a sofa bed as well as the king sized bed, allowing accommodation for four guests. Standard occupancy is two guests. Additional guests are charged at £30 per person per night. Please note that if two guests are staying and require bedding for the sofa bed then a £10 fee is charged to cover the laundry costs.

Please note also that The Carriage House is over 200 years old. It is not a modern building! We have retained as many original features as possible. Sound can travel between the apartments; we clearly state this and ask for 'quiet hours' in our house rules. You might just be able to hear sound from the apartment below. That said, the only noise you will hear externally is the sound of owls and foxes and possibly a tractor. There are no rowdy pub/club goers, very (very!) little traffic and no sirens or music.

Our Relaxation And Wellness Space (RAWS) has an Aspen 5/6 seater hot tub, a lounging area with a fire pit and a dining area - all under wooden gazebos. There is a sun terrace, yoga studio, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom plus a spacious decking area. This facility is available to book and is a perfect space for up to 30 guests. We hold regular yoga classes, retreats, parties and events here. Prices start from £200 for a full day of exclusive use (12 noon to 10pm). You can book the Hot Tub only (exclusive use) - £10pp for a 90 minute session. Towels provided.
