A great sized property with space for families to enjoy indoors and outdoors. Belinda was very accommodating and was on hand for questions throughout the week. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great hosting, we felt very at home. Beautiful walks right on the doorstep. We used a local private chef (French chef at home) and Indulge Deli Bar for catering - both fab.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Belinda's property. We were a group of 20 that included my 90 yr old Grandmother, 2 10 month old babies, and everything in between.
Organising that many people was a task in itself and Belinda was so helpful and accommodating. She answered all of our bizarrely particular questions promptly, and was forthcoming in helping me figure out how to make all members of our group happy.
The house itself was well equipped, with dreamy, comfortable beds, lovely soft linens and plenty of pillows.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cater to a party of our size, although we ate most meals in the beautiful garden while the younger members of our group played tennis!
There is a pub a short walk away, supermarkets a 15 minute drive and the lovelg town of Rippon only a little further. So all in all, ideally located.
Check in was smooth, Belinda welcomed us personally, and even stopped by at check out to make sure we were happy.
Barolin Farm is truly a peaceful, homely retreat and we are already looking at booking christmas here, although I'm sure it will be booked up for years to come!

We had such a fantastic stay at Barolin Farm - a truly beautiful house and garden which was really comfortable for our big group of friends. We'd definitely come back to stay again in a heartbeat.

This was an charming older style property with lots of space to spread out across different rooms downstairs with a dining room and drawing room large enough for the whole group to fit comfortably. Although it was January the accommodation was nice and warm and the open fire was a great focal point. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all different but comfortable and the well equipped kitchen and breakfast room was another great space for getting together. Belinda was very helpful and welcoming and we all had a great time.

Once we decided we wanted to stay here and booked the weekend everything we requested and needed was available to us. We are a large family who need plenty of space and this was perfect.

We had a lovely stay at Belindas home. There were 17 of us ranging from age 7 to 85 and 2 dogs. We catered ourselves and found everything we needed for a pie and chip supper on the first night and a huge buffet on the second. All of the rooms were nice and spacious with nice bathrooms. The enclosed garden was excellent for the dogs too. The property is right next to the Yorkshire Riding Centre which the Belinda was lovely and explained where everything was that we needed.
On our last day we left and went straight to the Yorkshire Hussars pub in the village just 5 minutes away for a fabulous Sunday lunch to round off our weekend. Overall a great stay in a lovely location.

Barolin House, during our few days there was a wonderful place full of joy, love and laughter. Fifteen family members were able to spend some time together, and the house made the most wonderful setting. Big enough for all of us to have space, without getting in each others way, with all the home comforts that every member of the family needed, it was brilliant. Every bedroom is individual, there was a wonderful fireplace in the sitting room, and the kitchen was truly the heart of the home for the week. Our dog was also in heaven with plenty of garden to sniff around! Close to some wonderful local sites too - we spent a gorgeous day at nearby Fountains Abbey. We would happily go back to Barolin for another visit, and we were all sad to leave such a wonderful house.

We loved staying at this property. It had plenty of space for all of us, was warm and very comfortable. Belinda was very helpful and attended to our queries straight away.

We're a multi generational family - parents in their 80's, 6 kids, grandkids and great grandkids. The house was ideal for us. The living room and real fire were homely and comfortable, the snug was a great place for the great grandkids to hang out and the kitchen was never out of use. The outdoor space was spectacular and the closeness to Harrogate an added bonus.

17 of us stayed at the house and we were all so impressed. The house itself is so spacious with loads of lovely features. The gardens are massive and very well maintained.
The host, Belinda was fantastic, she answered all questions we had and was really flexible.
Would highly recommend this property

After lockdown we were all in need of a break out of city life. We couldn’t have asked for a better accommodation. The welcome we received was first class, even the kids commented on how nice Belinda was. She was very helpful and available if we needed anything although there was nothing that we needed apart from directions on how to navigate through the countryside.
Everybody we met were extremely friendly and helpful. Made some of us crave the country lifestyle. ❤️
Definitely recommend this accommodation you will feel like your coming from home to home. We look forward to going back again one day.
Thanks Belinda.

We’re so grateful to Belinda for having us at Barolin Farm. The house is beautiful and the new chalet was a lovely addition, really lovely place to stay. Everyone had a wonderful weekend and it was a perfect setting to catch up with friends. The new windows look lovely as well!

We stayed here for my Dad's 70th- lovely surroundings, great for the kids to run around in the garden and a bonus to have the riding stables next door to go and look at the horses. Great communication with the owner, spacious and everything you need!

Lovely house with a very well equipped kitchen to cook for a full house! I booked it for a hen do for 15 of us and it was perfect.
I didn't meet Belinda but she was very helpful in the lead up to the weekend and was always quick to respond to queries.
Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely house with lots of space but also felt cosy especially with the open fires. Spent a weekend here for a hen do and everyone loved it. Perfect place to relax, there was space for us all to be together but also chance for people to have space in smaller groups to spend time together
A few things could do with updating (shower in downstairs ensuite) but nothing that could spoilt your stay
Highly recommended.

Very comfortable with every convenience.
Downstairs bedroom shower has poor pressure.
Disappointed hot tub price not included in overall cost.
Good location

Stayed here for my sisters hen do. 18 ladies. Was just the perfect setting for a weekend of games, dancing, dinners ans murder mystery. Great hospitality by Belinda, who suggested a chef (ziya) which was great and belinda served on, so no pressure on the organiser. Great hospitality. There is 8 spacious bedrooms all with a bathroom each. Very well equipt, clean, linen and towels spotless and a house of great charm. Plenty of space for parking.

Our family of 18 and a dog (aged 70 yrs-6weeks) had a great w/e.
The property suited us to the ground.

Our host couldn't have done more for us. She was really welcoming. The kitchen was a perfect space to entertain and the lovely aga was lovely and warm! We stayed in the lounge close to the kitchen but there was another large lounge too. The chalet accommodation was super and gave us the extra beds we needed. There can't be many houses that comfortably house 20+. Really cost effective for such a massive garden and accommodation. This house would be so perfect at Christmas or New Years. Having said that, one of the rooms and the landing was full of flies which we had to keep hoovering up and a couple of the bathrooms and bedrooms were in need of refurb, but besides these tiny things, the accommodation was perfect. Would definitely definitely rebook.
4.8
What a fantastic house! A perfect venue for uni reunion with all the facilities you'll need. The amount of bedroom space all with own bathrooms made it all the more enjoyable and the huge grounds and garden meant we didn't need to leave the house all weekend! We're already wanting to book for next year!

I've just spent the weekend here for my sisters hen party and had a brilliant time!! Belinda was a great hostess and made our stay as comfortable as possible. The house was perfect for 17 of us with plenty of space and beautiful bedrooms. We had great weather so managed to enjoy the amazing gardens as well! We also used a private chef Belinda directed us to who was fantastic and came to the house to cook us all a lovely 3 course meal.
Will be recommending this place to friends and family!

We stayed here as a family of 10 plus dog to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. It is a wonderful house for such a get together - spacious, comfortable and warm - and I would highly recommend it.
