Immerse yourselves in the spectacular beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park when you stay at this handsome stone barn, surrounded by spellbinding scenery. Nestled on the fringes of Oughtershaw, a North Yorkshire hamlet approximately 13.5 miles from Aysgarth, it is also well-positioned for reaching the market town of Hawes, 6 miles away, and is ideal for anyone who enjoys walking or cycling. Wake up to far-reaching views out over the undulating countryside then head off on long hikes, attempting, perhaps, a stretch of the Dales Way, which runs close by. Up to four guests are welcome to stay at the two-bedroom property, making it ideal for a family break or two couples keen to retreat to this picturesque corner of Yorkshire together.
Tear yourselves away from the views and make your way into the beautifully converted country property. Find accommodation here that melds traditional elements, such as exposed stonework, with sleek contemporary features. Head into the hall, where there is space for shoes and jackets, before putting the kettle on, lighting the wood burner in the lounge and settling down to enjoying some quality time away together. Choose a film to watch on the Smart TV in here; enjoy a few pages of your holiday novel and pull open the doors onto the terrace on fine days.
As mealtimes beckon, decide whose turn it is to prepare a tasty treat with delicious, ingredients found on your forays out into the towns and villages of the Yorkshire Dales. The stylish kitchen, with its white marble surfaces, has all the extra touches required to make your stay just that little bit more special. Keep your food fresh in the American-style fridge/freezer; chill your wine in the cooler and make steaming cups of coffee in the Dolce Gusto machine. Dine in here as you gaze out at your glorious surroundings or pull open the bifold doors and serve up in the fresh air against the scenic backdrop. Also at ground-floor level are a utility room, with a handy washing machine and tumble dryer, and a shower room with a WC.
Head on up to the first floor at the end of each magical day. Both inviting bedrooms are up here and are filled with natural light: wake up to the beauty of your surroundings from either a double bedroom or a twin room. A bathroom, featuring a bath with a shower above and a WC, is also on the first floor.
Savour the ease of both indoor and outdoor living at this unique holiday home. As often as possible, amble out onto the wrap-around terrace to soak up the serenity, along with the sweeping Yorkshire vistas. Fire up the BBQ and sizzle supper in the open on fine days. Have a last glass of wine out here as the sun goes down. There is a shed for your bikes and other outdoor gear here, as well as off-road parking for three cars. Please note: this holiday home has its own water supply.
