One of two units on a 1.5 acre site surrounded by grazing land overlooking the Skipton road, just outside Harrogate in the Nidderdale area of outstanding natural beauty. An agricultural track lined with antique cast iron lamp posts brings you onto the property and 300m (nearly 1/4 mile) from the road where adjoining parking areas link the units which stand around 20m apart and are separated by an 8 foot privacy fence, creating distinct and exclusive areas for the barn and glamping accommodation, each with their own hot tub. The majority of the space being reserved for guests in the modern barn conversion, which benefits from gas fired underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a multi fuel stove with cozy radiators throughout the first floor which heats the two bedrooms and each of the en-suite bathrooms. The magnificent Yorkshire stone steps leading to the expansive south facing glass front entrance are still stained blue/green in places with the copper compounds from the sheep dip which once lay at the kitchen door. The stone path leads to either side of the barn at the secluded patio at the rear of the barn where guests will find picnic bench seating and hot tub

Barn guests can also explore over an acre of rough paddock, young trees and a view over the seasonal pond which is frequented by newts, frogs, toads and the occasional duck. You’re also likely to see hares, grouse and pheasant on the property along with various small birds and sheep and cows grazing the pasture which surrounds the property and separates the site from the nearest neighbour, nearly 500m away, as the crow flies. You may also see kestrel which sometimes roost in the owl box on the barn and a barn owl can be seen on very quiet evenings hunting around the property at dusk.
