Overview
Property code: OC-44401

This cosy country barn conversion will win your heart from the moment you set foot on the property. Surrounded by beautiful gardens with views of the Yorkshire Dales National Park enveloping the grounds, this is an idyllic spot for a romantic retreat with your loved one. Just 12 miles away in Richmond, you’ll be able to spend days exploring the picturesque market town, soaking up history at the castle and heading off on whimsical walks to spot local wildlife.

The living room has been thoughtfully designed to encourage you to kick back and relax, with a comfortable corner sofa and a roaring wood burner filling the space. Characterful exposed beams overhead paired with the wooden furniture add warmth to the decor of the room, while the large arched window set into the exposed stone wall allows light to pour in. Down the hall you’ll find the pretty pastel kitchen which has everything you need to cook up a storm, with a dining table adjoining the room, seating four offering the perfect place to gather for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Above the living room on the mezzanine, you’ll find the gallery filled with natural light which is a perfect place to sit and read a book. Completing the property is the bedroom with a country style, feature furniture and a king-size bed. What’s more, the room enjoys an en-suite shower room, in addition to the family bathroom so you can take your pick from a long bath or a quick shower. Outside, the south-facing garden is a haven for relaxation with a selection of mature perennial plants and plenty of places for you to take a seat and soak up the sunshine.

For a spot of history, why not pay a visit to Bolton Castle? Dating back to 1399, the castle itself is impressive with a dungeon, kitchens, armoury and courtyard to explore, whilst the falconry displays and tearooms offer something a little different. Travel south to Aysgarth Falls (11 miles) for a blissful walk on the River Use. Here, you can stop off for a bite to eat at the cafe, or sit and gaze at the mesmerising sight of the cascade, surrounded by rich flora and fauna.

A stunning cottage in Swaledale, with many opportunities for walks from the door. Our second visit and highly recommended.

We found the accommodation to be clean & well presented. A lot of thoughtful little things were done which we appreciated. However, what spoilt the week completely for us was the sofa seating; it was extremely uncomfortable. Very hard and lumpy. In addition, the bed seemed to be broken on the r/h side resulting in a loud creaky noise every time it Read morewas sat/laid upon. NB: There is no second TV in the mezzanine as stated in the details, and no explanation from the owners. We left early. Hide

We had a wonderful week at Barn End. A lovely welcoming tray and everything carefully thought through. Beautiful garden, good accommodation and superb setting. Really can't fault anything. We always opted to park our car on the top village green as the stroll back was so pretty and the views fantastic. Very near Reeth one way and a good pub (Punch Read moreBowl) the other. We have been self-catering for decades and Barn End rates among the best. Very helpful hosts. Hide

For the price paid this cottage is good value for the location. Well situated for walks from the door and within a short drive. In May, parking directly outside the cottage in the village square was possible on 2/14. Expect to park on the village green, which isnt far away but does involve walking along the road which is occasionally busy and may nRead moreot be ideal if you have mobility issues. Hide

Cottage is a barn conversion and so planning restriction will have been applicable. Some rooms a little dark but very comfortable and well furnished property in beautiful area. Would stay again.
