Set in the gorgeous North York Moors National Park, this thoughtfully converted barn proves that taking your dog on holiday doesn’t mean you need to miss out on luxury. Boasting charming features and contemporary furnishings throughout, this welcoming home is perfect for a family of four and their canine companion. With greenery and fantastic scenery all around, this is the ideal base for walkers and lovers of the outdoors.
The former barn’s exposed stone walls and wooden beams charm guests on entry, as does the open-plan living space that houses a kitchen, dining space and comfortable lounge. The kitchen offers all you need to make this a home from home, including a social breakfast bar to gather around at the start and end of each day. Move through to the cosy lounge that boasts a wood burner and TV, as well as a glass coffee table – the perfect spot to settle in with a cuppa. The entire living space benefits from underfloor heating, meaning you can stay warm and cosy at whatever time of year you visit. Adjacent to the living space are the two bedrooms that ooze character with their tall ceilings, stone walls and wooden beams. The king-size bedroom has a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom, while the double bedroom also has a Smart TV and plenty of space to relax in. A separate shower room with a WC is also provided. Outside is a courtyard garden compete with outside dining facilities so you can dine under the morning sun or night sky with your furry friend curled up at your feet.
