“Mrs”

A beautiful cottage tucked away at Ellingstring. The cottage was spotless and clean with everything you could want. Two double bedrooms, bathroom with roll top bath and double shower, kitchen/lounge/diner. A large enclosed secure garden for our puppy to run in. Tea, coffee sugar and a home made cake on arrival. Could have done with wi-fi. Plenty of places to visit and places to eat in the area. Would definitely stay here again. Only saw the owner Claire once but she on site if we had needed ...

This cottage is the best pet friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully decorated, immaculate and clean. Everything has been catered for and Clare makes a delicious cake for you on arrival. We would not hesitate to recommend to our friends and family.

“The Stables is a little bit remote ...”

The Stables is a little bit remote but for everything else it is superb. On arrival Claire the owner had left tea, coffe, sugar and a home made cake. The cottage very modern and immaculate, with open plan lounge/kitchen/diner with oak and leather furniture, two good sized bedroom and a beautiful bathroom with a double shower and a roll top bath. There is an enclosed back garden (ideal if you have a dog with you) with a seating area and a front seating area. The cleanliness is is fantastic. I would recommend this cottage

“We loved our stay at the Stables!”

We loved our stay at the Stables! Due to the weather we were housebound for a few days but because the cottage was so comfortable and cosy we didn't mind. We were made to feel very welcome, and Clare or her family ensured we had enough food etc when the snow made it difficult to get out. Location wise this cottage is right on the edge of moorland making us feel like we were in the middle of nowhere. Masham, Ripon and Leyburn are all a short drive away however. We had planned to do a walk to the nearest pub but we never managed it due to the snow. The jervaulx abbey and tea room is ten mins away and worth a visit. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen and a full size fridge freezer. There are a selection of dvds, games and puzzles which kept us entertained. The bathroom is very luxurious and we made good use of the roll top bath. Both bedrooms have good size wardrobes so we weren't living out of suitcases. I would 100% recommend this cottage and we hope to return in better weather!

This was a lovely cottage.Everything was newly done in the last few months and was extremely clean and comfortable. The only reason I would not return is that I like to visit a different area on each holiday.

“Idyllic escape wonderful accommodation beautiful setting”

The only thing that prevents a comment perfection is "no wifi " there is 4G so not that big an issue This spacious clean well equipped Cottage is ideal for walkers or tourists to the area . Tucked away on private track with walks in every direction literally on your doorstep . Our hostess Claire was friendly but not intrusive. Masham, Ripon, leyburn all just a short drive away . The Cover bridge inn provides great meals. my wife and I took a leisurely walk (picturesque hour and half stroll) to have Sunday lunch . Plenty of wild life to observe as well as the amusing farm birds .

“An old farm and outbuildings have ...”

An old farm and outbuildings have been turned into the owners home and some rental properties on the top of a Yorkshire hill surrounded by woods, moorlands and fields, a really lovely setting. The Stables has been recently converted so everything is fresh and new. Its decor is simple but very pleasing and it is equipped with everything one would expect except wifi. There is an enclosed small lawn with patio at the back and a small shared garden at the front. Vast amount of wildlife around and lots of things to do in the area. Walks from the front door and the dog loved it. Everything is included in the rental cost (why doesn't everyone do this??) and the owners are really lovely. We couldn't recommend this highly enough.

“Beautifully decorated and superbly ...”

Beautifully decorated and superbly presented cottage in a stunning and peaceful location. All facilities and amenities were included; the large bathroom with walk in shower and free standing bath was particularly delightful. With it's own secluded and enclosed garden the cottage was ideal for a relaxing holiday. The owners were friendly and approachable and the welcome pack of provisions and treats for the dog was much appreciated. Walks directly from the farm onto the moor on quiet footpaths and tracks was a daily treat, and there are good dog friendly inns nearby. A great holiday!

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.
