Valerie and Andrew Leeming have been offering traditional farmhouse hospitality at their working farm since 1982.

The comfortable accommodation is in an 18th Century converted sandstone barn with views over the surrounding countryside. This conversion, as well as the guest bedrooms, has its own kitchen, reception area, dining room and sitting room with huge fireplace and French windows into the garden.

Evening meals are available on request. Valerie is a trained Home Economist and uses fresh produce sourced locally whenever possible, including beef from their own farm.

There is ample car parking and it is a non smoking establishment. Trained dogs are welcome if the guest owners are accommodated on the ground floor.

Bay Tree Farm is a stewardship farm providing habitat for a wide variety of birds and wildlife including, curlews, lapwings, oyster catchers, grey partridge and brown hares.

There are so many things to do within easy driving distance that you are spoilt for choice, everything from castles and stately homes, to gardens and wide open countryside. For lots more suggestions click on Local Attractions.

Foot paths cross the farm and one leads to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal gardens and deer park only 1½miles away. The Leemings have long had family connections with Fountains Abbey, the mill in particular, as Andrew's grandfather was the last miller.
