With lots of space inside and out, the whole family will enjoy downtime at this elegant barn conversion. After busy days in the surrounding Dales, there are plenty of places for sleepy dogs to stretch out, while four bedrooms promise sweet dreams for their favourite people.
Exposed beams, stone walls and original artwork set the scene for an unforgettable stay at this idyllic holiday home. Step into the entrance hall and you’ll find ample room for coats, boots and dog blankets, plus a handy cloakroom adding the home-from-home convenience of a washer/dryer. Ascend the stairs and the lounge is bright and spacious – warm paws and toes in the warm glow of the wood burner on cooler evenings, or stretch out and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. When Duke and Daisy need a breath of fresh air, patio doors open to reveal the gorgeous garden just outside. A few steps up from the lounge is the contemporary kitchen/diner, ideal for family gatherings. An open-plan layout means the dogs can keep an eye on everyone as you move from one social space to another. Once they’re settled for the night, head upstairs and you'll discover four beautiful bedrooms. The master has a super-king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while two king-size rooms and a twin room share the use of a modern bathroom. Children and their canine companions can let off steam in the vast, enclosed garden at the rear of the barn, while the patio area is perfect for al fresco dining. Gather around the BBQ and fire pit to plan your next adventure.
