Overview
Property code: 84014

This gorgeous stone barn provides the perfect base for families and groups of friends to explore the picturesque countryside of the Yorkshire Dales.

Brimming with character and charm, this rustic yet stylish stone barn conversion nestled in the idyllic village of Rylstone is the ultimate relaxing retreat in a beautiful setting. This elegant holiday let is perfect for families and groups of friends eager to uncover the unspoilt countryside of the enchanting Yorkshire Dales.

Boasting characterful exposed stone and vibrant pops of colour, the generous open-plan lounge/diner is an oasis of calm, beckoning weary travellers to take the weight off and relax at the end of a long day. Reminiscent of a country cottage, with its rustic décor and soothing hues, the spacious kitchen/diner at the heart of this home-from-home will inspire you to get creative with your delicious local produce. Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms and one en-suite double bedroom that each feature stunning exposed beams and characterful sloping ceilings. The enclosed south-west-facing patio is the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dining whilst you soak up your fresh, countryside air.

The quiet village of Rylstone, situated near Cracoe beneath Barden Fell and the Linton Falls on the River Wharfe, is a playground for outdoor activities, alive with countless footpaths carving through the breathtaking North Yorkshire countryside. Known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, venture to the nearby market town of Skipton 5 miles away to explore its impressive medieval castle before sampling some fabulous local produce from its various cafes, bars and restaurants. Uncover one of the country’s most impressive natural features, Malham Cove, a curving amphitheatre-shaped cliff formation of limestone rock, 19 miles away or explore the haunting Abbey ruins and Priory of Bolton Abbey, 9 miles away.

Fabulous barn conversion in rural location but near to both Skipton and Grassington. The kitchen and lounge areas are stunning. The property has been sympathetically restored retaining some of the original beams and features. We loved it .

This is a lovely house, great space and really nicely furnished. The patio area at the back is very useful for muddy boots and dogs. The cottage is in a great location for walking to Cracoe and Hetton with some lovely pubs nearby. Good access to Grassington, and nearby towns. A good base. It is unfortunate that the road is so busy with large lorrieRead mores going to the quarry. Inside the house this was not too much of a problem but on a sunny day it was quite noisy to sit outside.
