Situated in a quiet village on the owner’s working farm, this lovingly converted stable is a charming retreat in the Yorkshire countryside. Surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of rural Yorkshire, this is the perfect hideaway where you can unwind after busy days out to the local towns and attractions. Welcoming five guests and two canine companions, this pretty holiday home is a real gem with an enclosed garden and far-reaching views.

This pretty stone-built cottage retains characterful features such as exposed beams and barn-style internal doors. Head through the front door and into the stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Get comfortable in the quirky lounge which contains a funky hanging chair and a roaring wood burner to keep you warm on chilly evenings. The owners have also provided a Nintendo Wii so you can all get competitive playing games. Rustle up hearty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, separated from the dining area by a breakfast bar. Completing the ground floor is a welcoming double bedroom, and a shower room with a WC. Upstairs on the first floor are the remaining two bedrooms, a king and a twin, and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Dine alfresco on the private patio at the rear of the house, or frolic around on the lawn.

Located in a peaceful spot, you will find pleasant walking routes within easy reach. Nidd Gorge and the viaduct (2 miles) is a lovely walking route that is great for birdwatching. The village of Killinghall (1 mile) has some lovely pubs and handy shops, while the bustling spa town of Harrogate is just 2 miles away. Spend a day at the historic Ripley Castle (2.5 miles) exploring the beautiful house and expansive grounds.

We had the best time at humble bee cottage. The location was fab. We took full advantage and did trips to light water valley with our three boys, York, knaresbourough ans Rippon. Loved the garden and the quiet rural area. Mark the site manager was always on hand to help. We would love to return soon. The Wilson family.

We had a great time celebrating the new year at here. The cottage is really lovely and cosy and a great base for exploring the area. Loved being greeted by the chickens and their eggs tasted delicious too!
