Perfect for families, friends and their canine companions, step into a world of rustic elegance in this charming holiday home. Tucked away in the picturesque hamlet of Hawkswick, offering a serene retreat surrounded by idyllic landscapes, charming stone buildings, and real sense of tranquillity. Outdoor enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice with the breath-taking walking trails and hikes available directly from the doorstep. Explore the nearby village of Malham (10 miles), home to Gordale Scar and impressive Malham Cove, a natural limestone amphitheatre renowned for its stunning views and unique geological formations.

Bursting with charm and character at every turn, this stunning converted barn perfectly combines period features with home luxuries and comforts. Step through the front door and admire the exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and original features that give this property its timeless atmosphere. The spacious family lounge is the perfect space for socialising with bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor spaces. Sunlight streams in, illuminating the room's elegant furnishings and highlighting the breath-taking views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen/diner enjoys a plethora of amenities that caters to every need. Whether you're preparing a gourmet feast or a simple family meal, this well-equipped space provides the perfect backdrop for culinary adventures. From the kitchen there is a handy WC with laundry facilities and a boot room with access to the rear of the property, perfect for wiping muddy boots and paws after a day exploring The Dales. For more formal meal times, take a seat in the large dining room which sets the scene for elegant feasts and special occasions. Adjacent to this you will find a charming snug which beckons with its own wood burner, offering a cosy retreat for relaxation and intimate conversations. Sink into plush seating and feel the warmth of the crackling fire as you indulge in quiet moments or share laughter-filled stories. On the ground floor, there are two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each offering privacy and comfort. Bedroom 1 is a king-size bedroom and is situated off the main lounge and entices with a dressing room and en-suite shower room, providing a luxurious retreat for relaxation. It also benefits from bi-folding doors out on to the garden area which flood the room with light. The second bedroom is at the opposite end of the house and offers a spacious super-king-size bed (which can be made up as 2’6” twins on request) ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration and adventure. Ascending to the upper floor, two additional bedrooms await, enveloping you in comfort and luxury. The first bedroom (bedroom 3) boasts a super-king-size bed (which can also be made up into a twin on request), while bedroom 4 is a king-size with a magnificent en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. A family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodations, offering convenience and functionality for all.

The stunning and spacious garden is arguably the most impressive part of this fantastic property.
