Take a break away to this charming converted barn and enjoy the tranquil location from the conservatory, patio and garden which all make the most of the marvellous countryside views. Arkle Beck is right on your doorstep with a picturesque waterside path running alongside down to the lovely village of Reeth (3 miles).

Retaining much of its original charm, the  first floor living room has exposed beams, exposed bricks, and a open fire, with windows to make the most of the beautiful views. A two seater sofa and two tub chairs offer a spot to rest your feet in front of the  smart TV with sky sports as well as normal Sky channels, cinema, Netfilx and Amazon prime.

The ground floor kitchen blends the old with the new and leads through to the dining area where you can gather for breakfast, lunch and dinner, separated by an original stone wall. Come rain or shine, the conservatory with its small dining table is the  perfect place to sit and watch the world go by, with far-reaching views over the garden and into the country. Completing the ground floor is a downstairs double bedroom with ample storage for guests to fully unpack.  The second bedroom can be found upstairs, with a beautiful king-size bed which can be made up as twin beds upon request and this sits beside the shower room. Outside, the garden is a versatile space with a small slabbed patio with a table and chairs and a further pea chip gravelled area with bench table and seating. 

Reeth (3 miles away) is a great place to go to find a bite to eat, with an ice cream parlour, cafes, tearooms and pubs to satisfy your appetite. Alternatively, head to Tan Hill to visit England’s highest pub and soak in the serene views from its elevated position (8 miles). This area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is well-known for its waterfalls and the walking trails that you can take to find them, so why not make a trip to Aysgarth Falls (13 miles) to witness the spectacle?

Wonderful peaceful location. Great for walking with/without a dog. Good amount of seats in the garden. Conservatory has countryside views whatever the weather. Wealth of cooking equipment and utensils; alternatively good cooking at CB Inn nearby. No wonder guests return.

My friend, myself and her two dogs had a wonderful weeks stay at Plantation Cottage. Set in a beautiful, quiet location with great views it was perfect.

We ate at both places and the food was excellent. We looked forward to returning to the cottage after a day exploring and sitting in the conservatory taking in the scenery.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. Loved having lunch in the conservatory watching the sheep in the field next to the property, as well as the array of birds on the feeder....we were even lucky enough to see the woodpecker! Some lovely walks in the vicinity of the cottage and well placed for trips to Reeth, Gunnerside, Muker and Hawes to nameRead more a few. We had a couple of meals in the nearby CB Inn (only a short stroll) which were lovely and very attentive staff. The cottage had everything you could possibly need and was lovely and warm. We didn't need the open fire as it was unseasonally warm when we were there.....though it would be lovely to spend the evening by the fire in the cosy lounge! The bed was so comfortable and the crisp white bedding was such lovely quality, as were the towels. A very lovely stay in picturesque surroundings! Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our Yorkshire Dales stay. We had no need of the fire as we went to Plantation Barn in a warm July, but it would be very cosy during the winter months.

Plantation barn is a lovely cottage with glorious views of Arkengarthdale from both the house and garden. The cottage is spotless with a great shower. The local pub is 5 minutes walk away, is dog friendly and offers good food. The cottage backs onto a narrow country lane which on occasion has fast vehicles leading up to the main road. The extremelyRead more helpful owner advised one of us to guide the car out safely as visibility isnt great, which was good advice. However please do not let that put you off, it is a wonderful place to stay! Hide

The conservatory is really lovely for 2 people to have breakfast, and the shower is exceptional. The CB Inn round the corner is lovely and very dog friendly (do need to book). The location is great to access the nearby towns of Leyburn, Reeth, Barnard Castle, etc.

Lovely cottage with superb views and fantastic area for a walking base. Just not ideal for 4 adults with one bedroom downstairs and only one toilet upstairs. Proximity of neighbouring cottages is also a little unfortunate but cant fault the care of owners and how well the cottage is equipped.
