Did everything it said on the site.

Did everything it said on the site.

- Mrs Wormald, August 2020
“We all had a fantastic week staying in The Hayloft.”

It was very peaceful, and we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We've already booked to go back next summer!

- Mr O'brien, July 2020
“Spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable accommodation.”

Lovely quiet location away from the hustle and bustle. Would highly recommend.

- Ms Grant, July 2020
“Lovely cottage in beautiful, remote setting”

- Mr Johnson, March 2020
“What an amazing place, we loved it.”

Everything we needed was there and more. Just perfect, we will book again

- Miss Hastie, January 2020
“A very peaceful location with stunning views.”

All in all a comfy cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

- Mr Oneill, October 2019
“The cottage was well equipped with calming decor and simply wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.”

It fully provided the restful peace and quiet we were longing for, in addition to being in easy reach of country walks or York and Harrogate town experiences. We recommend a trip to both the Theakston and the Black Sheep breweries which were in close proximity to the cottage and provided interesting and informative tours, delicious food and drink.

- Mr Fitzgerald, September 2019
“We loved the cottage and the fantastic views, it was slightly off the beaten track but within a suitable distance to Masham and places of interest.”

The owner was really friendly and gave us more maps to view the local walking areas, and it was nice to be given a cake on arrival! Overall a great introduction to Yorkshire!!

- Mrs Tew, September 2019
“Very enjoyable holiday.”

The views were spectacular. The accommodation was homely,

- Miss Green, August 2019
“We had an absolutely brilliant time.”

The cottage was perfect and there was nothing we needed as everything was in place. Stunning views, friendly hosts - fabulous! Thank you.

- Mr Watkins, July 2019
“The accommodation was excellent in all respects,.”

The position central for exploring both the Dales and the North York's Moors. This really was off the beaten track and the only noises to be heard were the calls of the Curlew, Lapwings and Oyster Catchers and the bleating of the sheep.

- Mr Batty, June 2019
“Lovely barn conversion with stunning views over Wensleydale.”

Tranquility at its best! Excellent base for walking and sightseeing with many attractions literally on the doorstep, eg Jervaulx Abbey, Middleham. A warm welcome from our hosts, Claire and Rod.

- Mr Gilchrist, April 2019
“What a lovely barn conversion in a peaceful location, would come back again.”

- Mrs Kelly, January 2019
“A great place to stay if a little off the beaten track.”

Lounge area could do with a little more furniture to make it feel warmer. Beds and bedrooms first class.

- Mr Browne, January 2019
“Great property in an ideal location.”

The owners live in the adjoining farmhouse and are very friendly and helpful. Our second visit this year.

- Mr Collier, December 2018
“The Hayloft cottage is clean, comfortable and has spectacular views.”

It is a dog friendly cottage which meant we could take our dogs too. There are some lovely walks straight from the cottage and it is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It also provides a central location for visiting other places of interest in the area.

- Mr Mitcheson, October 2018
“Superb location especially if you like walking and take your dog with you.”

The cottage is really spacious and well thought out. Good choice of books, games, videos and information on the bookcase for rainy days and evenings. Really friendly owner who lives on site. Perfect base for the Dales and north Yorkshire. Did I mention the night skies?

- Mr Collier, September 2018

Moorcote Farm Cottages

These three stone-built, semi-detached barn conversions are situated on the owners’ former farmstead, in five acres of grounds. They are surrounded by grouse moors and old woodlands, in the peaceful hamlet of Ellingstring, five miles from both Masham and Middleham. Two of these lovely barn conversions are set over two floors and have an upside down layout to take advantage of the views across this wild and rugged landscape, towards beautiful Nidderdale on one side and impressive Wensleydale on the other. There is a shared courtyard garden and three acres of grounds, ideal for sitting out and enjoying a refreshing drink, or you may wish to admire the magnificent night sky, which is totally uninterrupted by any light pollution. Also the resident hens on-site will only be too happy to provide fresh eggs for breakfast, a great way to start the day before the rigours of setting out across the moors. Excellent walking opportunities can be found here, and for those wishing to get back to nature the area boasts an abundance of wildlife, including owls, curlews, deer, French partridge, black grouse, duck and pheasant. Local Yorkshire attractions can be found close by, such as Harrogate with RHS Harlow Carr Gardens, Ripon with Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, Pateley Bridge with Brimham Rocks and Ilkley with its famous moor. York with its historic attractions is also within driving distance. These two excellent cottages are ideal for those wishing to get away from it all and enjoy a break in the wild and rugged Dales.

About the location

MASHAM

Ripon 9 miles; Bedale 6 miles; Northallerton 14 miles.

The historic little market town of Masham is situated in the lower reaches of pretty Wensleydale alongside the River Ure. Set in gently rolling farmland, the town boasts a huge market square, where a Wednesday market has been joined by a popular Saturday market. There are lots of walks around the area, including a 10-mile walk along the Ure, arguably one of the best in the UK. The town boasts a good range of crafts, galleries, shops, restaurants and pubs and has become best known perhaps as the home of two breweries Theakstons of Old Peculiar fame and the Black Sheep Brewery, which now brews 11 million pints of beer a year! The popular towns of Ripon, Thirsk, Northallerton, Richmond and Harrogate are an easy drive away. With so much to see and do in the area, this is a great place for a holiday in all seasons.
