Property code: 84014

This gorgeous stone barn provides the perfect base for families and groups of friends to explore the picturesque countryside of the Yorkshire Dales.

Experience an idyllic countryside getaway exploring the outstanding scenery of North Yorkshire when you stay at this beautiful barn conversion. Sleeping up to six guests and two dogs, this stylish property is a great base for groups looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With so many wonderful walking trails on your doorstep, a holiday here is sure to set your faithful friend’s tail wagging.

 

Pass through the entrance hall and into the light and airy lounge/diner – the heart of this retreat. It is a fantastic area to relax with your group as your favourite film plays on the smart TV. The lounge/diner is decorated in neutral tones with accent furniture to create a warm and inviting space. There is a large dining table where you can devour a lovingly prepared meal or play a fun card game. In the sleek and fully equipped kitchen, a sociable breakfast bar awaits. When the weather is nice, the patio area outside is a great place to dine alfresco; there’s even a charcoal BBQ for you to use. As the night draws in and it’s time for bed, make your way upstairs to one of three delightful double bedrooms.

 

Browse the independent shops of Skipton, just 5 miles from the property. Home to a number of artisan coffee shops, bars, restaurants and pubs, a visit to this lovely market town is a fantastic way to while away an afternoon. For those keen to stretch their paws in the great outdoors, a trip to the impressive natural limestone cliff of Malham Cove, 9 miles away, is a must.

Take care to supervise curious hounds as the garden space is enclosed, for small dogs, but not large jumping ones! however,  they’ll probably not stray too far when they catch the scent of the BBQ.

This is a lovely house, great space and really nicely furnished. The patio area at the back is very useful for muddy boots and dogs. The cottage is in a great location for walking to Cracoe and Hetton with some lovely pubs nearby. Good access to Grassington, and nearby towns. A good base. It is unfortunate that the road is so busy with large lorrieRead mores going to the quarry. Inside the house this was not too much of a problem but on a sunny day it was quite noisy to sit outside.

On entering the barn I was surprised at how big the kitchen and living area was. The photos really dont do the barn justice. All of the equipment and furnishings are of high quality. As previous reviews have mentioned the barn is right next to a B road and therefore you can hear noise from it and this is reflected in the rental cost. However, on thRead moree plus side it does mean that getting to nearby skipton is very easy. All in all we would return to Lily Barn. Hide
