About Snave Barn

Snave Barn is a luxurious converted barn perched right on the edge of Grimwith Reservoir in Yorkshire.

The setting is truly exceptional. Situated in an area of outstanding beauty, you'll find yourself surrounded by pristine countryside with walking trails from your doorstep. Crystal clear night skies make for incredible stargazing opportunities - no light pollution to spoil the view. Perfect for those who want to escape the rat race without sacrificing comfort.

The accommodation features three beautifully appointed bedrooms - one super-king-size with en-suite wet room and two king-size rooms, all with Smart TVs. There's a family bathroom with shower over bath plus a ground-floor shower room. The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from electric oven to dishwasher.
