About this property

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. It also houses a myriad of notable attractions including the National Trust Site of Brimham Rocks, the 18th-century riverside ruins of Fountains Abbey, The Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park and Parcevall Hall Gardens where guests can roam the 24 acres of woodland gardens. Unearth the wonders of the Yorkshire Dales at Mosscarr Barn.

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.

  • Lorna

    We all enjoyed the break & made happy memories. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable & the bathrooms nice & clean. Great having a downstairs bedroom for my mom, who struggles with stairs now. Loved the little touches, especially the welcome pack for us & doggie. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a holiday in Yorkshire.

  • Julie

    Beautifully and tastefully converted barn that had a luxury feel to it but also made us feel right at home. Really well equipped with absolutely loads of information from the owner not only about the property but also about what to do in the local area. Honest about its rural location (ie rough farm track access and nosey neighbours - the cows!) but this added to the charm. Watched the swallows darting in and out of the garage by day and the bats at night. Will hopefully stay again soon and would definitely highly recommend it to others.

  • Brian

    Well equipped. The friendly cows were very curious but reluctant to move away from the gate to let us through! Easy walking directly from the house.
