Perfect for families exploring the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, this luxurious barn conversion offers beautiful views from every window, along with a hot tub and a lovely large garden.

This is the perfect location for exploring the gorgeous North Yorkshire countryside, whether you’re looking to strike out on long hikes or simply enjoy an idyllic rural stroll. Situated on the edge of the pretty village of Gilling West, the cottage is just a mile from a great pub serving a range of fantastic meals. The local farm shops are perfect for keen foodies, with a choice of delis and tearooms, and chances to watch farm animals grazing in their paddocks. The historic market town of Richmond (5 miles) is known for its cobbled market square and attractions including Richmond Castle, the River Swale Waterfalls and the Station Arts Centre. Heading north, the streets of Barnard Castle are lined with independent shops, cafes, art galleries and the popular Bowes Museum (11 miles).

Approaching this stunning barn conversion along a private drive, this spacious, bright and imaginatively designed property is perched on a hillside offering glorious panoramic country views. Going inside, this stunning property features exposed ceiling beams, a lovely inglenook fireplace and a range of thoughtful little luxuries to enhance your stay. With large dual-aspect windows, the light-filled open-plan kitchen/diner offers wonderful views for you to enjoy as you cook and share all your favourite family meals in this social space. The bright and spacious kitchen has everything you may need to prepare a range of delicious dishes, including an electric oven and hob, combination microwave and fridge/freezer, as well as a dishwasher and washing machine. After dinner, go through to the light and cosy lounge, sit back on the sofas, warm yourselves by the wood burner and watch a movie on the Smart TV. At the end of the day when it’s time to turn in, go downstairs where you will find a choice of three delightful, stylishly decorated bedrooms, all with comfortable king-size beds. One of the bedrooms has its own private en-suite bathroom while the other bedrooms have access to a refreshing family bathroom.

Heading outside, the property sits in an elevated spot on a hillside, with two generous gardens providing plenty of room for children to run about and let off steam. The soothing hot tub is down a couple of steps and offers a delightful spot for you to unwind and embrace the magical surrounding views. To the front of the property, a large, decked area is perfect for dining alfresco, or for sitting back with a glass of wine as you admire the scenery. The large driveway and upper parking area offer ample parking space.

Richmond is a charming market town on the borders of Wensleydale and Swaledale. It boasts the remains of an impressive 11th-century castle, fine Georgian architecture, a historic Georgian theatre and a large cobbled market square as some of its many attractions. Stroll into town for a cup of Yorkshire tea at one of the lovely tearooms or pop to one of the excellent restaurants for dinner.

The gorgeous River Swale runs through the town and, across the river – less than a mile – are the River Swale Waterfalls. You can walk in either direction along the river and deep into the countryside without having to go anywhere near the car. We also recommend exploring The Station – formerly Richmond’s railway station and now a vibrant arts centre, which has lots to entertain young and old including a small cinema, cafe/restaurant, gallery, microbrewery and artisan bakery.

Richmond is also known as 'The Gateway to the Dales' so expect stunning Dales scenery within minutes of leaving the town. Peppering this glorious countryside are countless attractive little towns and villages and, if you enjoy a bit of surreal entertainment, how about a visit to the quite brilliant Forbidden Corner? This attraction is full of statues and hidden surprises, set 16 miles away near Middleham.

The historic village of Easby, home to Easby Abbey, is just 5 miles away. Set on the banks of the River Swale, the abbey is the perfect spot for a picnic in the summer months. This is a superb area for walkers and cyclists with many routes from the doorstep or just a short distance away, including Alfred Wainwright’s famous Coast to Coast Walk which passes close by. And with the North York Moors within 27 miles, you have lots of choice for day trips!
