Beckett

Beckett is a well-equipped farmhouse in North Yorkshire designed for groups of up to eight. The four bedrooms all have zip-and-link super-king beds that convert to twins, and three bathrooms mean there's space for everyone. One bedroom with en-suite is on the ground floor, making it accessible for those who prefer to avoid stairs. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included, and you get robes and dedicated hot tub towels too.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area has a large island and high ceiling, flowing through to a sitting room with wood-burning stove and doors onto an enclosed patio. Outside, the private grounds contain an enclosed garden with hot tub, and an al fresco cooking area with pizza oven for longer meals outdoors. There's car parking on site. Smoking is not permitted, and one well-behaved pet is allowed. The location puts you within reach of the Yorkshire Dales and nearby market towns for exploring.
