Deep in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, this stunning farmhouse draws upon the beauty of its surroundings to create a truly exceptional stay. Surrounded by acres of rolling hills and farmland, this is a home steeped in tradition. Dating from 1727 the original features have been lovingly restored and the original charm remains throughout. Stepping inside, there’s a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. Perfect for large groups and families to get together and celebrate, the space has been thoughtfully designed to ensure you have quality moments together – whilst also enjoying the tranquillity this setting provides. Whether you’re getting cosy with a book by the log burner, preparing a feast in the kitchen or enjoying a long soak in the bath, this home has something for everyone. The beautiful views will no doubt draw you outside and into the fresh country air. There are wonderful walks across the fells straight from the door. Or jump in the car and make your way to Aysgarth Falls – a five–minute drive away. After a day of hiking through the Dales, this home makes the perfect sanctuary to relax. Open the French doors and head out onto... the terrace for a barbecue. No matter where you are in this home, there’s a sense of charm that will make your stay unforgettable.

About The North Pennines
It’s official – the North Pennines are beautiful. Designated an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO geological heritage site, this undulating area of North Yorkshire has spectacular scenery and a landscape that could tell the story of aeons gone by. Tiny stone-house villages and hamlets dot the valleys and cluster around babbling rivers – Bowlees is particularly idyllic and is home to the North Pennines information centre....
