The Hayloft is a great base for walking in the Dales and the cottage itself is immaculately clean and comfortable. Clare ( the owner) was very welcoming and had even made us a welcome cake, which went down very well with a cup of tea upon arrival!

“Brilliant, fantastic location next ...”

Brilliant, fantastic location next to the grouse moors. Rob and Claire couldn't have been more helpful. Only thing missing was a freezer which we needed for the dog food but Claire came to the rescue and offered hers. They are doing a refit next year of the kitchen and will hopefully be able to fit a freezer. Wild life amazing Grouse, Curlew, Pheasant and Partridge in abundance. Husband had a great time fly fishing on Leighton Reservoir, large trout in abundance. Very dog friendly miles of walks and some very dog friendly pubs nearby.

“Beautiful house, beautiful ...”

Beautiful house, beautiful location, amazing views. Very friendly and helpful owners who very kindly left us a pint of milk and a lovely cake as a welcome. The rooms were a very generous size, the bedrooms were lovely. We took a leaflet about the house and I can honestly say that I would and have highly recommended this property.

“We didn't need to take half the ...”

We didn't need to take half the stuff we did, everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The owners had clearly thought about the needs of their guests and we didn't need to bothered them but with them been onsite if we needed them or had any issues they were on hand 24/7. The location was fantastic, it was in easy reach of the small towns and villages around the Dales but remote enough to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The gated court yard was a real bonus, been able to exercise the dogs securely while they got used to their new surroundings was a relief.

Lovely clean and welcoming cottage. Location stunning and weather was perfect for March. Central for visiting other areas within Yorkshire. Owners were lovely and provided delicious home made cake and milk as welcoming pack. Much appreciated. Lots of walks for Tilly (dog) to enjoy. Will definitely visit Yorkshire again.

To be fair we thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the holiday. The cottage itself was excellent, everything had been thought of and catered for. The hosts were very friendly, informative, and nothing was too much trouble. The location and scenery were breathtaking. We would certainly look at returning to stay in one of their cottages.

Moorcote Farm Cottages

These three stone-built, semi-detached barn conversions are situated on the owners’ former farmstead, in three 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.
