Bedale, North Yorkshire
This luxury self-catering retreat for up to six guests, plus two pooches, sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales close to the traditional Yorkshire market town of Bedale, North Yorkshire. Surrounded by acres of picturesque countryside, this charming three-bedroom holiday cottage is all about life’s simple pleasures; long rural rambles, drawn-out pub lunches and spending time together in the great outdoors.
Luxury and comfort are as abundant here as the gorgeous countryside vistas, as you wind along the lane out of Crakehall village to this dog-friendly barn conversion with stylish contemporary interiors. Ellesmere Barn offers a wonderful break for families and groups escaping to a luxury cottage in North Yorkshire.
An open plan ground floor greets you as you step inside, with full-height glass doors out to the garden from the living and dining areas offering an abundance of natural light. The modern kitchen is well equipped for brunch or snacks around the kitchen island as you prepare slow-cooked suppers, including a fridge and freezer, oven, microwave and induction hob. Enjoy your meal together around the spacious dining table next door, or in warmer months swing open the patio doors, fire up the gas BBQ or pizza oven and dine alfresco at the large bistro dining set outside.
The sitting room adjoins the dining area, with a smart TV and a sofa large enough for the whole group that invites movie marathons and games nights. Year round step out to the bubbling hot tub beyond the patio doors, whilst heavy linen curtains keep the cold out in Winter. A perfect spot after a long day exploring the Yorkshire Dales, sprawl on the comfy armchair as you dream up your next day's adventure.
The three stylish bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the first floor. The master bedroom with its sumptuous blue and white headboard has a super-king bed that can be split into a twin, and an en-suite shower room. Enjoy a lazy morning between the luxury linens before popping croissants in the oven and indulging in an al fresco breakfast in the cottage garden.
The two further bedrooms both offer full-height glass doors overlooking the garden and countryside vistas beyond. Swing open the doors and listen to the early morning birdsong whilst admiring the wildlife awakening around you. One of the bedrooms has a king-sized bed which can be set up as twin beds on request, perfect for younger guests. The third bedroom is a double bed. A true countryside escape!
Outside this luxury Yorkshire holiday cottage, you will find an enclosed garden complete with an outdoor kitchen, seating area and bubbling hot tub with far-reaching countryside views. Gather around the rattan dining set with pizzas from the gas-fired pizza oven or barbeque grill station. A morning coffee nestled in the hanging egg chair with a good magazine is an idyllic start to the day.
Weekends together are better when the whole family is involved, four-legged friends included. This property is the perfect dog-friendly holiday home in Yorkshire with the fenced garden creating an enclosed area, perfect for two pooches. The lane that winds back into Crakehall is a good walking route, whether to stretch the legs or on the hour's loop with a quick stop off at the village pub.
You might feel inclined to simply stay at home if relaxing and rejuvenating are high on your list of to-dos. And for those looking to adventure further afield, there is plenty to explore right from your doorstep.
Outside the pizza oven and barbecue run on gas.
This dog-friendly cottage has an enclosed garden and a good lane to walk the dog along. Two well-behaved pets are welcome for a small additional charge.
Ellesmere Barn is tucked away amongst glorious countryside in the heart of North Yorkshire. It is only a short walk or drive to the village of Crakehall, with a local pub on the village green, and for families, there is a play park to enjoy and pretty walks along the beck that winds through the village. Only a short drive away you will find the Green Tree Inn at Patrick Brompton, a fiery Gastropub at the core of the community, serving a bespoke menu crafted from local Yorkshire produce. Find out our personal recommendations for a weekend away at Ellesmere Barn here...
The Georgian market town Bedale is a 5-minute drive, boasting a rich historical tapestry and surrounded by some of Yorkshire’s most picturesque countryside. The town has unique shops, cafes and restaurants and one of the highlights is the weekly market on a Tuesday, where you can find local produce. We can recommend the fantastic Greengrocers, the famous Cockburns Butcher, and Taste of India for a great curry. Bedale Museum is a highlight, housed in a magnificent 18th-century building standing proudly at the top of the High Street; exhibits depict the social history of Bedale and the surrounding villages. The popular market towns of Leyburn, Richmond, Northallerton, Ripon and Harrogate are also only a short drive away.
