Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

Stepping inside, you'll immediately appreciate the warmth and character of this beautifully restored farmhouse. Original stonework, exposed timber beams and inviting interiors create an authentic country atmosphere, while contemporary furnishings ensure every stay is comfortable and relaxing.

The spacious country kitchen forms the heart of the home, offering everything needed for relaxed self-catering. Modern appliances sit alongside traditional farmhouse styling, making it equally suited to leisurely breakfasts or hearty dinners after a day exploring the surrounding countryside. A separate dining room provides an elegant setting for gathering together, with plenty of space for family meals and long evenings spent around the table.

Two cosy sitting rooms offer flexibility throughout your stay, each centred around a wood-burning stove that creates a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere during cooler months. Whether curling up with a book, enjoying a film or simply admiring the far-reaching countryside views, every space encourages guests to slow down and unwind.

All three bedrooms are located upstairs, each featuring luxurious super king-size beds that can also be configured as twin beds to suit families or groups of friends. Carefully designed with calming interiors and framed by spectacular countryside views, every bedroom offers a peaceful retreat after a day spent outdoors. Two stylish bathrooms serve the accommodation, combining contemporary comfort with the farmhouse's traditional character.

Outside, uninterrupted views stretch across the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding moorland. The elevated position creates an exceptional sense of peace and privacy, while the surrounding landscape invites guests to explore walking trails directly from the doorstep. During your stay, you'll also enjoy access to the wider experiences of Broughton Sanctuary, including woodland walks, rewilding trails and the Avalon Wellbeing Centre.
