Come together with family and friends in this converted cattle barn with endless countryside views, ideally situated between the Yorkshire Dales and The North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

Set on the northern tip of the Yorkshire Dales in the picturesque and peaceful hamlet of Uckerby, this lovely barn benefits from far reaching views across rolling farmland. The nearby village of Scorton, with its central village green, has two welcoming country inns both serving food and a village shop. There are several farm shops with cafes and delis selling local produce, and local art galleries should you want to take a reminder of your stay home with you. The gentle countryside that surrounds you offers plenty of walking and cycling trails for lovers of outdoor activities. Head to the market town of Richmond, home to Richmond Castle and Easby Abbey, for a slice of Yorkshire history just 7.5 miles away. Visit popular beauty spots such as Aysgarth Falls and High Force. Children will relish The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels and follies, ideal for adventurers and those young at heart. This barn conversion is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered; behind its stone exterior are impressively high vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and heated Yorkshire flagstones floors while the interior is also crammed with character and comfort. On entering this outstanding property, you will find a dramatic and generous entrance hall with a large dining table perfect for a banquet of sizeable proportions, seating up to ten. The hall leads you through to the equally generously sized kitchen divided by a central island which means there s plenty of scope for relaxed socialising over lazy lunches or casual suppers. Sit at the breakfast bar, drink in hand, while the chef of the group prepares a feast on the range style electric oven and hob; there's also an American style fridge/freezer, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. The utility room provides plenty of space for outdoor gear, wellies and walking boots, and includes a washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave for those holiday practicalities. Make your way into the lounge where floor to ceiling windows offer views of the garden and beyond. Stoke the fire and sink into one of the deep comfortable sofas and watch a film on the large Smart TV. A cinema room can be found on the first floor via a cast iron spiral staircase on the mezzanine level complete with projector screen, popcorn machine and surround sound providing that real cinema experience. The PlayStation and Sonos music system means that there is plenty to keep all of the party happy and entertained on those wet weather days.
