Lovely place. Stayed there during the heatwave and unfortunately there were no fans which made it rather uncomfortable, am sure it would be wonderful in cooler temperatures. Location was down a very narrow track which could get noisy early in the morning with farm vehicles and dog walkers but still very pleasant.

Bluebell Barn was everything we wanted and more. It was much bigger than it looked and spotless and beautifully furnished. The garden and patio area was lovely as you could dine outside or just sit and let sten to the birds whilst enjoying a chat with friends.The village of Dunnington also contained all amenities even a cafe which we had breakfast at before we left..Several National Trust places were nearby which made our holiday just perfect..Just a thought two of our party have slight mobility issues so a handle to get down out of the shower in the two adjacent bedrooms might be a good idea.
