Paddock House

Middleham's cobbled market square and castle are within easy reach, and Country Cupboard Antiques sits nearby for those who enjoy hunting out finds. Paddock House itself is a stone-built bungalow set back from the village, offering genuine seclusion without isolation. The property is yours alone, with grounds that extend to two acres including an enclosed paddock—useful if you're bringing horses, or simply want space to roam.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate eight guests across a thoughtful mix of bed types: a super kingsize in bedroom one with its own en-suite, two further super kingsize beds that can be split into singles if needed, and a double sofa bed in the second living room for flexible arrangements. The main spaces—two living rooms, kitchen-diner with full cooking facilities, and utility room with washing machine—are all on the ground floor. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, and one pet stays free. Outside, the enclosed garden has a patio, furniture and a barbecue, with private parking for four cars on site and a bike store for exploring the valley.

The bungalow does not permit smoking. Check-in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
