Westfield Stables

Between York and Harrogate, North Yorkshire offers everything from Dales walks to market towns and the attractions of two of the region's most visited destinations. Westfield Stables sits on a working farm in this landscape, a converted barn that retains original beams and character throughout. The property is yours alone, with parking for two cars and space to store bikes if you're exploring on two wheels.

The ground floor opens as one space—living area, dining zone and kitchen flowing together beneath a large window. A wood burner sits ready for cooler months (logs supplied), while underfloor heating runs throughout. The kitchen has everything needed to cook properly: electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Upstairs, two bedrooms each have their own ensuite bathroom. The first bedroom has a kingsize bed; the second offers either a zip-and-link super kingsize or twin beds on request. Bed linen, towels, wi-fi and electricity are included.

An enclosed garden with patio and furniture opens off the house. One dog stays free. A pub is within a mile. The nearest town shops and restaurants are close enough for an evening out but far enough that you're genuinely in the countryside. No smoking throughout.
