Barn vacation rentals in Northern Europe

Sarà was amazing start to finish, from being flexible with check in times to being amazing with local recommendations and even ensuring there was coffee around in abundance! Couldn’t have been more helpful and not only is she an amazing host she’s a fantastic local navigator. It’s worth all the stairs, trust us!

It was so quiet and peaceful, felt so relaxed and comfortable, hope to come back again

Staying at Agrigreen La Lama was hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, Rita welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality that we felt at home. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm—surrounded by nature and the kind of quiet that soothes the soul. One of the most memorable parts of our stay was getting to cook in Rita’s own home, which she generously opened to us. It was such a unique and personal experience that made us feel truly connected to the space and the spirit of the farm. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, feel grounded, and enjoy genuine hospitality, Rita’s space is an absolute gem. I’m already looking forward to the day I can return.

Martina was an amazing host - Incredibly kind and helpful! The guesthouses were so beautiful and the large bay windows provided a lovely view of the pastures. Martina met us at check-in to show us around and showed us the local attractions and provided us recommendations of how to explore. The breakfast she made for us each morning was delicious and made from local farmers and vendors. She even made us some hot toddies after a day of adventuring in the pouring rain! She was so attentive and incredibly kind - we really enjoyed talking with her and learning more about the area through her. She even offered for us to have a tour of their farm which we wish we had time to do! I would highly recommend stopping here while touring county Clare!

Staying at the Granary was idyllic! It was truly magical to stay in such a beautiful stone cottage surrounded by lovely farmland, gardens, and trees. Sanchia was a superb host, responsive and friendly, and their dogs, cat, and ducks were also delightful company! We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and marveling at the view and we were able to easily visit Glendalough for a phenomenal hike. The scones, tea, coffee (including espresso with a moka pot!), and other cooking essentials were greatly appreciated. And I even got to exchange a book from their shelf, so if you see “The Last Murder at The End of The World” feel free to carry it on! Would very happily return!

Our stay at the cabin was absolutely amazing for us family of 4. The setting is peaceful and private, with stunning views that made it feel like a true escape. The cabin itself was spotless and cosy and solidly built. We especially enjoyed peace and quiet and lying on the sofa looking across at the big mountains on the over side of the valley. This hut is well equipped with good quality cooking facities, equipment and knives, and we appreciate the soldar handsoap and the washing up liquid. The host was responsive and made everything easy from start to finish. It’s close to great hiking spots and a nearby town with a shop, yet still feels secluded. We left feeling refreshed and restored and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this gem in the mountains.

gorgeous place to stay, everything was clean and tidy. left us fresh bread when we arrived which tasted amazing. we found some nice walks nearby and really enjoyed the sun setting over the hills and being able to watch the stars as we fell asleep.

I honestly cannot say enough about Monica’s place. Nestled in the hillside you are in a beautiful home with big windows viewing the Tuscan vineyards, beautiful outdoor space to have a glass of wine in the evening and close to Greve in Chianti for some yummy food and exploring. The house was pristine, Monica showed us around and we truly were in awe the entire stay. Villa Bordoni is right across the street as well (get the Florentine steak!!!)and we went there 3 times for dinner!! So so good, steps away from the Airbnb so you can have lots of wine! I recommend renting a car for a scenic drive into Florence, it was so nice to come back to the quiet of the house. Will hopefully be back again! 🩷

Ein toller Aufenthalt - die Unterkunft hat alles was einen zur Ruhe kommen lässt. Der Garten ist ein Traum und die Unterkunft ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht und darüber hinaus. Danke Charles für den unkomplizierten und wunderbaren Austausch auch vor Ort 😊

Die Unterkunft ist sehr ruhig gelegen mit einem wundervollen Ausblick. In den zahlreichen Details merkt man sofort, wie viel Liebe und Mühe investiert wurde. Es fühlt sich fast so an, als würde man ein Kunstwerk bewohnen. Wenn ich Schweden-Neulingen, Kunstliebhabern oder einer Gruppe eine Empfehlung geben müsste, dann wäre es diese!

A beautiful Agro tourismo right in the lap of nature…very close to the picturesque Pienza town and with gorgeous views of Tuscany rolling hills all around the house.. Bianca’s father met us upon arrival and explained us all the details about the house, his farm, olive oil making and the background of the place.. They stay on the first floor of the house and Airbnb is on ground floor… The house was built in 1576 and it was one of its kind of experience to be staying in it… The house is quite spacious and very well decorated. We stayed here for 3 nights and did 2 day trips - 1 to Florence and other to Siena ( a must visit place with marvellous cathedral and piazza del campo ) and picture perfect Chianti region.. Having a car is absolutely necessary as the place is 8-10 km from Pienza and public transport is minimal… Regards, Sachin

Little Thatch is a little oasis of calm. This is a busy area with Corfe Castle just down the road and it was lovely to retreat to this little barn in the woods. It had everything we needed including a comfy bed. Always a winner for me as I am "a princess and the pea person". A good bathroom and kitchen and a sofa with a view completed the picture. Just delightful.

We had an amazing stay at Nicola’s. The barn was clean, cozy, super modern and overall just a great oasis with absolutely stunning views. It was calm and surrounded by furry friends aka horses and sheep that managed to bring the extra wellness effect. An evening in the hot tub was an evening in heaven for us! Also, Nicola was a great host always having an open ear for us. Cannot think of a better stay and would highly recommend!

Wow! What more can I say! This was such a delightful place and an absolute gem to find. Loved the decor, everything was so tastefully decorated and was absolutely right up our street; the cute private garden was one of our favourite spots. There's nothing negative to say, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Laura for hosting us, we would definitely stay here again and hopefully for a bit longer as it's such a good base for exploring whatever your taste might be. We were doing a nature trip this time round but hopefully next time we will get to see more of the fantastic coasts. ❤️

Absolutely beautiful location and property. - If you are looking for that much needed peace and tranquility then this is the place for you. Excellent hosts that will greet you with a warm and friendly welcome. Only 10 minutes drive, visiting gorgeous Salcombe with breathtaking harbour is a must! For those keen shoppers there are plenty of little boutiques, including the renowned Will Bees. Definitely a place to return!

Honeymoon - such a beautiful and romantic setting, just perfection. We spent hours soaking in the beauty of the landscape. The house itself is stunning too, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lots of walking / activities nearby and the local marketing was brilliant too!

Orchard Barn Spa is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the city. We stayed there with our four month old and Chris was very accommodating, providing a baby bath etc. It provides the perfect base to explore all that the new forest has to offer, has ample parking space, is very clean and sits in a private plot. Thanks again Chris for a great stay and for your great communication throughout our trip.

What a beautiful place in an idyllic location, this was living the luxury lifestyle. We just loved everything about Queenies, worth every penny with sauna and Pilates studio for the grownups and place space and tree hut for the little ones. Our hosts were fantastic, friendly and helpful beyond expectations and one place I would totally recommend for that wellbeing retreat and escape from the hectic lifestyle of work and home. Just wonderful.

Lovely place, beautifully designed, felt very new and clean but cosy. Yes it is a bit different to not have a sink in the kitchen but to have to take 3 steps out the door, under a roof, to a separate room - but we thought it was a nice little change to everyday life. Mark was really nice and helpful. It was lovely that the bathroom heating was on when we arrived as it was quite cold! The only thing that could be improved is to provide a little bit more kindling for the fire, as there wasn't loads and the other wood was quite big :)

Hi Stan and Judy, it was an absolute pleasure to return to your lovely annexe having stayed there about 6 months ago. It was so comfortable and homely, you made us feel so welcome. It was lovely to be able to share your beautiful garden and discover the history of your house. Sorry we did not see you to say goodbye but we did say goodbye to your beautiful cat Bagheera All being well we shall return. Best Regards Anita & John Hardstaff

I would rate the Chicken Shed as outstanding! The location, presentation of the property, information provided by the owners before the stay and within a guide provided were all fabulous. It felt like a real 5*stay. We were aware it was up a steep track and we enjoy walking so it was no issues. We also had no problems getting a taxi to and from Clitheroe. On the first night we walked to the Calfs Head in Worston via lanes and footpaths. It took about 45 minutes. It was a traditional pub menu and the food was great with really good service. We walked up Pendle hill and went up via the steep hill behind chicken shed. It was the shortest way up but it is very very steep. The views at the top were worth the effort. There are easier ways up though! It's just a beautiful, beautiful place to visit with everything very thoughtfully considered. I do hope we can go back at some point.

L'estada ha estat idil•lica! La caseta que han habilitat pels hostes sembla treta d'un conte. Sense tv, ni internet hem passat 2 dies genials en un lloc preciós enmig del camp. És un entorn rústic i Eco, no hi ha luxes, però no es necessiten. Hi ha sucre, sal, cafè, oli, llibres, música...Pete i Ana són uns anfitrions magnífics.

We are so grateful we had the opportunity to stay here during our trip. My 2nd time In Iceland and this was my favourite altogether, we will 100% be back. Our only regret is not booking it for longer. Communication was so friendly and responsive, the home is BEAUTIFUL, very clean, and peaceful. The details are incredible - the sconces, green ceilings and beams, the furniture and massive windows, and the chandelier & little grandfather clock. Loved the bbq as well. We truly admired everything put into this unit. We’ll never forget our stay here, can’t wait for the next time!!!

Georgina’s place was really beautiful- it’s like an interior decorator had been at work! Just lovely. Every part of the cottage was stunning. Massive, well appointed kitchen, sitting room like something from a magazine and two beautiful bedrooms with very large en suite bathrooms. Again, beautifully decorated- really felt like a very up market boutique hotel. My sister said it was the best Airbnb she’d ever stayed in. Really lovely countryside all around and a great place to use as a base for our long walks. The fact you can bring your dog is so great. Close enough to Aldi to stock up but secluded enough to feel rural. Georgina was very helpful - had left milk, bread, eggs, jam etc for us. Such a lovely touch. I’d love to stay here again.
