This charming property in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is the ideal spot to enjoy a break exploring the great outdoors. Sitting in Arkengarthdale, a sparsely populated dale situated on the east side of the Pennines, this home boasts peace and tranquility. A local pub is situated 0.5 miles away serving up fabulous home-cooked meals – if you take the causeway, in 8 miles you will reach the country’s highest pub. Visit the quaint market town of Hawes (17 miles) which has a museum, working mill, tearooms and a couple of pubs. Get back to nature and enjoy the cascading Aysgarth Falls (14 miles), hike one of the area’s peaks such as Hoove (1 mile away) or cycle ‘The Stang’ (3 miles).

A renovated barn that retains traditional features and character including beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls. It has also been thoughtfully furnished to complement its history. The property is accessed via one step into the entrance hall. A spacious kitchen has plenty of surface space and storage. The dining room has an oak dining table and is a lovely sociable space with a Smart TV, Netflix, and a Bluetooth speaker. Enjoy stunning uninterrupted views over Arkengarthdale from the conservatory which also has a table and chairs. The first of the bedrooms is situated on the ground floor, too – a double bedroom which has its own TV. Head upstairs to the first floor which houses the lounge and the second bedroom. Enjoy cosy evenings in front of the warming open fire in the lounge before getting some shut eye in the super-king bedroom, boasting a beautiful apex-beamed ceiling.

The remarkable surrounding countryside is viewed from most of the windows in this property, but the scenery can really be soaked up from the garden. It’s an enclosed patio area with a low stone wall and seating.

The location of the cottage is perfect with stunning views and close to the CB Inn. The cottage was clean and had everything needed to make your stay comfortable. Found the bed upstairs to be very comfortable and liked all of the crisp white bedding.The shower was great. We really enjoyed our stay and it was excellent value.

A really good property. Very comfortable and well equipped. In a beautiful location. An excellent pub nearby. The owners were very helpful with their communications beforehand, had left a welcoming pack, and i am sure would have gone out of their way to assist and resolve any problem if we had one.

Plantation barn is an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire dales, just a few miles from Reeth, where there is a village store which is well stocked, and about 3 pubs all dog friendly and all serve food , an extra special mention to the Kings Arms, for good old good quality food we dined there most days as it was good value , they do fishy FridaRead morey, 2x fish and chips mushy peas for 16:95 with curry sauce and b&b an extra1:95 , we paid the same for 1 xfish and chips elsewhere and wasn't as nice , And they really make a fuss of our dogs . Back to the cottage, it is ideal for just sitting and watching the wildlife , or I did a regular morning stroll around the local area with the dogs ,before taking them out in the car visiting places , Barnard Castle is 10 miles , and the famous Tan Hill pub ( highest pub in Britain) is just 8 miles through gorgeous scenery. There's ample parking for 2x cars easily and all the amenities that you need Bar b q etc . We had a great time , The owners were easy to get hold of should you need them ( we didnt) and they are very accomadating and nice to talk . Thank you.. Hide
