The Swallows Nest

£650.00 per long weekend

Welcome to The Swallow's Nest, our little piece of paradise set within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. A perfectly charming romantic barn on a 20-acre small holding, this is a wonderful countryside escape for couples or single travellers seeking the calming balm of nature. Just four miles from the market town of Thirsk, this lovely retreat offers open plan living with underfloor heating, a cosy vaulted bedroom, bathroom with feature roll top bath and even a shepherd's hut in the adjacent paddock. Perfectly situated to take long walks on the moors, explore market towns and villages and even venture into York, this is a wonderful setting for a holiday or honeymoon. James Herriot, Britain's best-loved vet, lived in the village and called the view from the ridge just above The Swallow's Nest 'England's finest view' - we don't think it could get a better accolade than that!

The open-plan, double-height living area is just lovely, imbuing this large space a sense of serenity with its vaulted ceiling and gorgeous, exposed stone wall that adds warmth and character and more than a touch of Scandi chic. In this room you'll find underfloor heating throughout, offering effortless cosiness, whilst two comfy sofas offer plenty of room to sprawl out and relax. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light, whilst blinds can be closed as night closes in, creating a cosy space to curl up together in.

The modern kitchen is just a delight, complete with electric oven and induction hob, dishwasher, fridge and all the other essentials needed to whip up meals for you and your loved one. There's a handy central island which doubles up as a breakfast bar for tête-à-tête mealtimes.

You'll find the charming, oh-so-bijoux bedroom upstairs amongst the eaves. Complete with a super comfy double bed swathed in super-soft bedding, luxurious linens and throws and cushions, this is a delightful space to retreat to at the end of a busy day exploring North Yorkshire. We just love the exposed stone wall and beamed, vaulted ceiling.
