It’s not unusual to catch a glimpse of a passing peacock wandering the grounds. Use of a barbecue means that you can step straight out onto the patio and rustle up your food al fresco.

In the summertime the external shutters on this ranch style building drop down to bring the outside in.

Beautiful meadowland leads down from the cottage to Bedale Beck, a perfect picnic spot on a fine summer’s day.

    Booked this as a treat for my parents. They had the best time. Mum has raved about how clean and beautiful the barn is. Hosts were brilliant, even bringing over a spare bathmat when they thought they'd forgotten to leave one after cleaning!I'm looking to book again for myself this time!
