Set in the heart of the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, this impressive retreat captures rolling views from every window. Sleeping ten guests, the four-bedroom abode is situated within the tranquil hamlet of Horsehouse, 8 miles from Leyburn. With a large, lawned garden for summer days and a wood burner for winter, it makes a great year-round choice for larger parties of families and friends. The fireplaces are just a bonus; a ground source heat pump heats the house to a constant indoor temperature of 20c making your stay guaranteed cosy, regardless of the temperature outside. Step straight out to enjoy magical walks through the verdant national park. Climb Leyburn Shawl, 8 miles away, with its commanding vistas across the Dales. Visit renowned beauty spots, such as the Aysgarth Falls, 10 miles away. While away an afternoon at historic Bolton Castle, 11.5 miles away, or the unique Forbidden Corner, 11 miles away, with its fascinating follies and tunnels. Plan a day out in the picturesque town of Richmond, 17 miles away, with its cobbled market place, scenic river, varied eateries and Norman castle.

Open the front door to this fabulous retreat to find that the enchanting views can be enjoyed from inside as well as out. Enter via the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, where you can open the French doors to the garden on warm spring and summer days. With wooden work surfaces and a central island, there is ample space here to rustle up delicious meals for your group before dining together at the long table. Spend your evenings in the beamed lounge, with a fire roaring in the wood burner set in a stone inglenook, and a good film on the Smart TV. Head through to another lounge to read quietly or make the most of the office and catch up on a few mid-holiday emails. At the end of each splendid day away together, climb the stone stairs to your lovely bedrooms. These include two king-size rooms, a twin bedroom, and a quadruple room with four singles beds that the children will love. Two well-appointed family bathrooms are also at this level and complete the home’s interior.

Soak up the sunshine out in the beautiful garden, keeping an eye on children and pets near the stream. Light the BBQ and grill fresh Yorkshire produce, then gather at the furnished patio for a memorable al fresco meal. There is also a charming, enclosed front garden and off-road parking for three cars.
