Property code: OC-92954

Steeped in historic grandeur and situated in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, this barn conversion is enveloped by a sprawling lawn and shaded by mature trees. With elegant social spaces aplenty, this country abode is perfect for multigenerational family gatherings or a long overdue celebration with friends, plus a couple of tufty-pawed tag-a-longs. Pack a picnic and feast al fresco overlooking the rugged limewashed cliffs of Malham Cove (8 miles). After a day of adventuring, crack open a chilled tipple and sink onto the plush corner sofa to unwind in the roar of the wood burner.

This property encompasses a tasteful blend of traditional charm and contemporary craftsmanship. Picture wooden beams, exposed stone textures, creamy neutral hues and Scandi-inspired minimalist styling. Kick off boots and outer layers in the hallway then explore inside. Freshen up any mucky outdoor gear in the cloakroom before ascending the staircase to the striking living space.

Curl up on the armchair nestled by the window to thumb through a local guidebook or congregate on the sofa for a pre-dinner drink and bask in the roar of the wood burner. Settle in with a film on the Smart TV in cooler months or throw open the patio doors to drink in balmy summer evenings. Stepping up from the lounge, the resident chef can potter in the breezy farmhouse kitchen to rustle up a family feast. Adorn the wooden dining table with glassware and crockery, then dish up a local takeaway or celebratory home-cooked supper.

When night falls, discover four beautifully presented bedrooms upstairs. Snuggle up in the soft linens of an en-suite super-king-size, two king-size rooms and a twin. Completing the property is a tiled family bathroom. Outside, saunter through the wildflower-peppered garden, dine on the patio or settle in for a sizzling BBQ soiree.

Shiers Barn was very comfortable and well equipped. It was exactly as pictured and described on the website. It's in a convenient location for exploration of Wharfedale and further afield.

We had a lovely stay at Shiers Barn. We loved the relaxing view from the patio windows, it was really relaxing watching the weather and the light changes.

This is a lovely cottage and is very cosy especially when the fire is lit in the evenings. The welcome packs were a lovely touch, especially the dog towels and treats and my little girl enjoyed the Easter egg hunt with the little treats provided. The house is nicely laid out with lots of kitchen essentials and the sliding doors to the garden are grRead moreeat in nice weather. Lots of toys to keep children entertained as well as lots of games and books and my little girl especially enjoyed the mud kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the original artworks were a nice touch. I will say that it is not the best house if anyone with infirmities is planning to go as there are steps to the front door both inside and out and the garden is sloped and can get quite boggy when its wet. There is plenty of parking at the end of the garden but only space for a small car at the front of the house so we didnt use this space. The house is an end terrace NOT detached and the garden is not completely secure as the fencing between this cottage and the neighbours is quite flimsy (it moves if you push against it) and there was a section missing and the wall is quite low in places so if your dogs are prone to wandering they will need to be closely supervised. It is also worth noting that a public footpath runs next to the house which leads down to some farm buildings and a caravan park. There is a cafe and a lovely pub within walking distance which are both dog friendly and the food was tasty and the service friendly. Overall a lovely place but maybe better for the more active and dogs that are a bit more chill. Hide

Lovely barn conversion with ample parking and huge garden that only one of the dogs eventually figured a way out of (she's a tall lurcher and jumped the wall - most dogs wouldn't bother!). saw hedgehogs and deer in the early hours. very nicely converted, very well equipped.
