Spend some time in the stunning farmhouse style kitchen with attractive worktops and pretty oak units, where you can discover a plethora of useful utensils and well-thought-out appliances to help you whip up a marvellous dinner for the group or create some tasty treats with the children as you enjoy an afternoon of home baking. Open up the stable door and step out into the enclosed garden for some alfresco dining at the outdoor seating area and bask in the sunshine during those warm summer months. The ground floor is also home to a convenient cloakroom with a basin and WC. Venture up the imperial staircase to the right of the first floor and be greeted by a stylish yet peaceful shower room and the first of the bedrooms, home to a spacious double bed and en-suite shower room so that you can start your day off right with a refreshing wash. Across the way lies a super-king-size bedroom that can be transformed into two singles upon request for flexible sleeping arrangements; this room boasts a beautiful barn window filling the room with natural light, making this a tranquil place to rest your head at the end of the day. Jump in the car and enjoy a scenic drive to Gisburn Forest where you can embark on an enchanting woodland walk, or head into Skipton to explore the picturesque Waterfalls of Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar before stopping at Malham Cove to admire the incredible rock formation and magnificent views. Enjoy a family day out to Bowland Wild Boar Park to feed the friendly animals or watch as the children play in the park and ride in the farmer's tractor before heading back to the comfort of your holiday home.
