Welcome to this quite magnificent six-bedroom and five-bathroom large luxury holiday home tucked away in a picture-postcard Yorkshire Dales village. With its handsome double-fronted exterior, generously proportioned bedrooms and hot tub to enjoy, this property is just perfect for those magical family celebrations and special get-togethers.

 

Set over 3 elegant floors, the stunning Georgian facade of this holiday home gives way to a contemporary and comfortable home. Downstairs you'll find a large sitting room where peacock blue sofas gather around a roaring open fire. The house is extremely well equipped with underfloor heating as well as the latest technology including an LCD TV, a DVD Player and Wi-Fi, but who wants to be online when you have this gorgeous place to enjoy!

 

The sitting rooms leads through to a fabulous open-plan kitchen/dining room with original Yorkshire flagstone floors & upcycled church pews. The perfect spot for those laughter-filled family breakfasts each morning, or a few glasses of bubbly later on! The contemporary kitchen boasts a sleek black granite work-top, glossy white units, a dishwasher and an AGA to keep everyone warm and toasty. The cupboards are well stocked with everything you need to rustle up a family-sized dinner, and the open aspect allows you to enjoy a little company while you do so. Attached to the kitchen is a fabulous orangery providing a further formal dining space. Watch the stars twinkle above you as you settle down to a candlelit dinner stretching long into the night.

 

All six of the generous bedrooms in Willow House enjoy views over the village and each has been individually styled with feature beds. The first bedroom is on ground level; a double room with an en-suite wet room, ideally suited to anyone with reduced mobility. Bedrooms two, three and four are on the first floor, all doubles, with two and three sharing a family bathroom and bedroom four enjoying another en-suite wet room. The top floor of the house is home to bedrooms five and six - two fabulous master bedrooms with luxurious open-plan bathrooms featuring either a free standing bath or a large walk-in shower.

 

Back downstairs, throw open the double patio doors and step into the beautiful enclosed gardens. There's a sheltered patio area available for al fresco dining and to your right, the wonderful hot tub is just waiting to be enjoyed. Take a dip under the moonlight and catch up with those you haven't seen for far too long.

The property has a beautiful village location on the cusp of the Yorkshire Dales and is an ideal basecamp from which to strike out and discover some unique Yorkshire locations, including Reeth (15 miles) and the stunning landscapes of Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. It’s also well placed for a day trip to the Lakes if you want to explore this beautiful area.

The property is set in the heart of a very pretty village in the Yorkshire Dales. There's a great dining pub under half a mile from the house and if you're a bit of a foodie. there are several more excellent dining pubs in the area as well as an award-winning deli, tea room and farm shop. It's also the perfect location if you enjoy walking. There are lots of beautiful walks from the doorstep and in fact, it’s well-known as a great starting point for walking - seasoned walkers come from miles around to set off from the village.

This stunning large luxury cottage is just a few miles away from Richmond (4 miles), a historic market town with much to offer the discerning holidaymaker. Explore the cobbled market square or head up towards Richmond Castle for a slice of Yorkshire history. Just a short drive through Richmond takes you into the heart of the Yorkshire Dales proper. Head up towards Reeth and on towards Hawes in Wensleydale (27 miles) for a true taste of this magnificent countryside.

North of the property is the charming town of Barnard Castle (15 miles), a pretty little place with a host of shops, cafes and pubs to explore. The excellent Bowes Museum is here and is well worth a visit. And as the name would suggest there's a historic castle to explore too.

Further south, you'll find the pretty market town of Northallerton (22 miles) where handsome Georgian houses line the long main street. The wonderful Betty's Tearooms is here as is a fantastic local deli, Lewis & Cooper's Food Emporium and of course the quintessentially Yorkshire department store of Barkers. If you feel like a spot of pampering, there's also a fantastic spa in the area.

Willow House is well equipped, comfortable and stylish in a great location. The bedrooms are large with good quality bedding and towels. There is very generous heating and hot water and an AGA cooker, as well as a standard cooker. We particularly enjoyed eating in the spacious orangery and having a quiet garden to sit in. The lovely town of RichmonRead mored is just 10 minutes away and The Dales and other attractive areas are easily accessible. I'd certainly recommend Willow House to future visitors. Hide

A really nice place to stay with everything provided that you would expect for self catering. Everybody in our party found their beds comfortable and all slept well! We made a request for a couple of fresh towels and the next day we were offered a full set of replacements. The only downside was a broken drawer in the dishwasher which meant getting Read morepots cleaned for a big group might take two attempts as it would jam the rotary jets.
