Location (Yorkshire)

Accommodation Overview

Horn Cote Barn & Spa is more than just a place to stay - it’s a space designed to bring people together. Set within a beautifully restored Grade II listed 17th-century farmstead, it blends historic character with modern comfort. Arranged as one large, interconnected home, everything sits under one roof - perfect for seamless group stays, celebrations and memorable countryside escapes.

Ground Floor Living & Social Spaces

Horn Cote offers two spacious and welcoming living areas, each featuring a 48” flatscreen TV, giving groups the flexibility to come together or spread out as they wish. Whether it’s film nights, games or relaxed conversation, these spaces are designed for comfort and connection.

Throughout the house, high-quality furnishings and thoughtful design create a warm, inviting atmosphere, enhanced by three log burners - perfect for cosy evenings after a day outdoors.

Dining Hall & Celebration Space

At the heart of the property lies the spectacular double-height dining hall - a truly standout feature designed for memorable shared experiences.

This impressive space comfortably seats up to 30 guests for elegant long-table dining, making it ideal for celebratory meals, private chefs and special occasions. For more informal gatherings, it can host 70+ guests for buffet-style dining or drinks receptions, with ample space to socialise and mingle.

As day turns to evening, the hall transforms effortlessly into a celebration space. A built-in Bluetooth sound system, subtle laser lighting and excellent acoustics create a vibrant yet refined atmosphere - perfect for dancing, milestone celebrations or a lively hen weekend without the feel of a nightclub.

For added entertainment, our commercial-grade karaoke system can be booked in advance.

The versatility of this space also makes it ideal for corporate and retreat use, including:

  • Team-building weekends
  • Workshops and training sessions
  • Wellness retreats and yoga weekends
  • Creative and holistic gatherings

Whether you’re hosting a celebration or a more structured event, the dining hall adapts beautifully.
