Perched on the outskirts of Otley, North Yorkshire, is this charming holiday home, Bride Cross Granary.
A tasteful barn conversion brimming with character and a wealth of on-site amenities, this property is perfect for a romantic getaway, and boasts great positioning for breathtaking landscapes, including the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Inside, make use of a well-equipped kitchen, where delicious home-cooked meals can be prepared to be enjoyed at the dining table or even in the sitting area, where a woodburning stove takes centre-stage, or you can sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful Washburn Valley view on the designated area at the rear of the property.
Before you grab a luxurious bath on your way to retiring to the plush double bedroom, take a moment to unwind in the downstairs sauna room, a unique inclusion that offers guests the chance to detox and relax after a long day of exploring.
If you can tear yourself away from your tranquil dwelling, make the short car trip to the nearby location of Bolton Abbey, where you can visit the Stepping Stones tourist attraction or maybe roam the beautiful grounds of The Tithe Barn estate.
Harrogate is also accessible by car and is home to the serene Valley Gardens and The Stray, perfect for walks with your partner on a sunny afternoon, or if you’re up for something spooky as the months grow darker, join a Harrogate Ghost Walk, if you dare.
Further afield you can find Leeds, a lively city full of museums such as The Leeds Industrial Museum, which was at one point in history the world’s largest woollen mill, natural landmarks including the Kirkstall Valley Nature Reserve, and for those soap-opera enthusiasts, book onto The Emmerdale Village Tour where you can experience the setting of one of Britain’s most-enduring television series.
Enjoy all of this and more during a stay at Bride Cross Granary.
