Holiday rental accommodation in Helmsley, North Yorkshire

Accommodation details

A Grade II-listed barn conversion on a working farm within 9.5 miles of Hemsley, one of the many bustling market towns in the North York Moors National Park. Ideal for families, couples, walkers, cyclists, history and nature lovers, this dog-friendly cottage features a lounge/kitchen/diner, a gravel courtyard garden and easy access to Stokesly, Rievaulx Abbey and the Cleveland Way.

The one-storey stone barn is one of three on the farm's accommodation complex and is surrounded by attractive farmland bordered by distant mountains between Grange and Fangdale Beck. Its interior is a blend of the traditional and modern, with oak-beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls beautifully complementing colourful and characterful soft furnishings laid out across flagstone flooring.

The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has underfloor heating and is a fantastic social space, with a wood burner and comfortable furniture at one end leading into a dining area and onto granite work surfaces. The en-suite king-size bedroom and the double bedroom feature striking stone walls, while a separate shower room stands nearby.

The charming gravel courtyard garden offers seating for all against a scenic backdrop. The barn is equidistant between Stokesley and Helmsley (both within 10 miles), two of the many bustling market towns beloved by visitors to the national park. Helmsley is home to dog-friendly shops and traditional pubs, a walled garden and a delightful castle.

Walkers are well served in this area, with numerous routes including the Cleveland Way within 5 miles. Rievaulx Abbey (8 miles) is close to the route and offers a further glimpse into the county's past.
