Our Welcome

The door to The Barn House guest house is always open so you are welcome to come straight in as soon as you arrive.

The owners Niki and Joyce like to take the personal approach with guests and one of them will always aim to be available to greet guests on arrival. When they are not available our friendly and helpful staff are around to welcome you in.

We feel it's very important to get the balance right for everyone so your welcome will be determined on what your personal needs are and the time available, sometimes our guests are in a rush to be somewhere!

Ideally our welcome will include a show round of the premises including your room, so you can get your bearings, a comfort break if required, then we like to make you a nice warm drink with cake or biscuits in either of our comfy lounges. We also make the time to advise on restaurants and other places to eat or drink, arrange taxi's and recommend activities or places to see in the area. Organise a bottle of wine, beer or champagne with complimentary nibbles or if you already have plans then we simply leave you to get ready or use the Wi-Fi, grounds, hot tub or lounge areas.

Excellent customer care doesn't stop there, Niki has been known to get up early and take her guests on a morning run before making their breakfast. Other added extras Niki has provided include nutrition advice for a guest recovering from breast cancer and even an astrology chart for a business man with a tough decision to make. They are services not often included on a 5 star menu!

Thank you for helping me to locate accommodation for our two horses while we were staying with you in Walkington.  Our trail riding holiday was a great success and are looking forward to the next time we come to Yorkshire! Hilary Stearn, Suffolk
