We had an excellent couple of weeks at Lockwood Barn. Beth has done a great job creating a well-thought-out and comfortable holiday home. Beautifully decorated throughout, the barn is well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden is great if you have a dog. Salton is well located for the North York Moors, the coast, Howardian Hills and York, while feeling like a proper rural retreat. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to be back!
