Tucked away on a farm near the quaint village of Pateley Bridge in North Yorkshire is Mosscarr Barn. This luxurious, dog-friendly, stone-fronted barn conversion benefits from fabulous, far-reaching views across the countryside and a characterful interior where charming original features like exposed beams and a-frames have been thoughtfully blended with top of the range, contemporary appliances contributing to a truly memorable stay for a group of eight or families looking to experience the tranquillity of the countryside. Cross the threshold, a welcoming living/dining room greets you, unwind on the plush sofas in front of the soothing crackle of the woodburning stove while the designated chef of the group whips up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather the family around the table to tuck in and reminisce of the memories you have created so far before stepping outside to savour the last of the sun with a glass of wine in hand on the private patio. When sleep calls, head inside to wash off the day in the sleek bathroom ready for a refreshing sleep in one of four bedrooms; there is a super-king-size, a double and a ground-floor double all with en-suite shower rooms and TVs and a twin. If you can tear yourself away from this breath-taking property, head into the heart of Pateley Bridge to stock up on essentials at local stores or delight in an evening away from the kitchen at The Crown or The Royal Oak or you can enjoy some live music on Saturday afternoons (April to September) at the Bridge Inn at the end of the track.. The property boasts a fantastic location in the Yorkshire Dales National Park which is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a variety of walks and trails through, quaint rustic villages and stunning landscapes.

Pateley Bridge is a picturesque Dales town perched in the narrow valley of the River Nidd. In 2016, it was named Britain's Best Village High Street. Several award-winning butchers, a fishmonger, a bakery, and the oldest sweet shop in England can be found in the quaint little alleys and yards off the steep main street, along with many other interesting shops selling a wide variety of unusual gifts and mementos. Pateley Bridge is known for its award-winning flower displays, as well as its riverside park and children's playground. The nearby leisure centre also features a swimming pool. The town's Craft Workshops and the Nidderdale Museum, which houses a lively collection of displays illustrating all aspects of Dales life in the past, are also well worth a visit. The Nidd Valley is a fantastic place to go hiking, biking, and birdwatching, both upstream and downstream.

We like to cook so the kitchen was amazing every utensil you could think of. Woodburner was very efficient. We had an amazing weekend in a fabulous property. Walks from the house, large hard surface area for play. It was just perfect.
Philip
The house is beautifully finished and furnished, and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay; we'll definitely be back!
Jonathan
Very comfortable bedrooms three of which are en suite. The beautiful scenery starts practically at the doorstep and is enough to raise the spirits even on the darkest day. We cannot recommend Mosscarr Barn highly enough...just perfect for our needs.
