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.

It was absolutely immaculate with all the modern features any family could want or need. There is a luxurious feel throughout and an abundance of space to easily accommodate 6-8 people. It is within a 30 minute drive of most of the major tourist areas and the walk into the nearest village Pately Bridge was flat and easy. The owner had left a lovely welcome pack and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree for our early December stay, which was really appreciated. The walks nearby are beautiful and we took some of the more adventurous routes which resulted in some spectacular snowy photograph's. There is one important thing to note, the lane up to the barn is littered with potholes and adds a good 5-10 mins to each journey, so does requires patience. The lane leads to other farms so we assumed it was not just the owners responsibility and with us all being in the festive spirit from the local Christmas markets, it didn't bother us too much. There is a small incline up to the barn which did prove very challenging in the winter weather (it has snowed the night before we arrived), so is another factor to consider if you are traveling to the Barn in poor weather. Overall though a brilliant holiday and we can't recommend Mosscarr Barn enough!

The only drawback is the long drive way up to it , which has several pot holes and quite humpy and bumpy , but we got used to it and slowly and carefully mastered it ! The house makes up for it though and you can totally relax here and enjoy the lovely setting, We would definitely come back again .

We loved it! Having an en suite for each double room was fantastic. We travelled with a young baby and the owner was very accommodating with facilities for her. The Christmassy touches were great; it felt very festive for our annual Christmas getaway! Thank you. The barn is a short distance away from the nearest pub and local shop. There are lots of lovely towns within a short drive.
