Our Philosophy

Here at The Barn House, our philosophy is to offer relaxing, friendly and informal accommodation and service so you can enjoy a home from home experience.

Your host, Niki, is a holistic therapist and her treatments look at the whole person - physically, nutritionally, environmentally, emotionally, socially, spiritually and through lifestyle factors. Because of this, The Barn House also aims to consider your total health and wellbeing during your stay at our guest house, providing comfort, rest and quality of service, while minimising the affect our guest house has on the environment.

Where possible, we source local ingredients, which not only allows you experience what Yorkshire has to offer but reduces our environmental footprint. We also use as many biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning products as are viable and our hot tub uses a 100% natural cleaning product. In our bathrooms, we provide you with luxury toiletry products called Miessence®, all of which are 100% certified organic products.

The onsite treatment room, The Garden Retreat, offers a variety of treatments, using 100% organic products, to help you relax and recuperate. Treatments that can be booked at The Garden Retreat include Integrated Therapy, Massage and Reflexology.

In line with our philosophy, we aim that any printed documents or leaflets we produce are sourced from printers who use sustainable printing materials. However, where possible we aim to reduce our printing and consequently publicise all the information available about our services on this website, many of which are available as downloads that you can read with Adobe Reader
