Nestling in the stunning Esk Valley, these holiday properties have been lovingly converted from 200 year old farm buildings and are situated just across the courtyard from the owners’ farmhouse which dates from the 12th century. Converted from a former granary, The Granary (ref W41008) occupies the first floor of a detached barn conversion, with views towards Castleton Rigg. Stylish and delightfully furnished, retaining many original features with a vaulted ceiling, low beams and solid oak floors. The Carthouse (ref W41503) is spacious and occupies the ground floor of the detached barn conversion, whilst The Byre (ref W7733) is an attractive single storey, detached property with a multi-fuel stove in the living room, and offers wonderful views over the dale. They are all tastefully furnished and decorated and offer excellent holiday accommodation. Ideally situated in the beautiful North York Moors National Park, a scenic drive along the country roads takes you to the historic port of Whitby. The area abounds with smugglers coves and quaint fishing villages untouched by the passing years. An excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, with the Yorkshire coast and Heartbeat country both easily accessible. Walking is available direct from the door, with fishing and riding nearby. Castleton is 1 mile away with all amenities including supermarket. A magical part of the world at any time of the year. Properties W41008, W41503 and W7733 can be booked together for larger parties.

Fabulous place with wonderful views. The coast is an easy drive away, the roads around Castleton provide a myriad of impressive views, the North Yorkshire Moors Railway is an attraction worth visiting and within easy reach. The Eskdale pub also warrants a mention as the food is delicious, the owner friendly and the staff lovely, they also allow dogs (important to us). The owners of the Byre are very obliging and very pleasant to deal with.

We choose the Byre for several reasons we wanted a rest (no phones) there is a landline if needed and you can use wifi calling the wifi is very good. My wife needed single floor accommodation with shower, and I needed a ev charger both of which were accommodated here, the accommodation had everything you needed good comfitable beds good size kitchen easly accommodate 6, But the most important was the area we had been meaning to come and explore this area for some time and finding the Byre meant we could we both just loved the view watching the sheep and rabbits at the back of the house, we saw quite a selection of wildlife, a barn owel, curlu, a pluver to mention just a few. We drove up and down the chimney in Hutton le Hole first time since I was 16, on a vespa scooter, some 60 years ago, we also found cafes tucked away in the most unexpected places and had some very pleasnt lunches.I have to say we thoughly enjoyed our time at The Byre and our hosts were very helpfull and nothing was to much trouble, we have already recommended to others and we will hopfully go it again next year.
