This magnificent property which has been awarded a quality 5* Gold grading is the perfect place to relax and unwind in this haven of tranquillity, located in Harmby just outside the popular market town of Leyburn in beautiful Wensleydale. This luxury stone built detached property has been completely modernised and renovated to an exceptionally high standard. The stunning interior combines a mixture of contemporary and traditional style and benefits from equally stunning views over to Middleham from the front windows, conservatory and balcony. 

This high-quality property will impress at every turn, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with exception of the conservatory that has a wall mounted radiator.  It boasts an immaculate finish inside that provides pure luxury throughout.  Step first into the hall where your eye will immediately be drawn up towards the galleried landing with modern oak and glass bespoke staircase, framed beautifully by stylish feature lights and which is flooded with natural light from the apex windows above. Next, discover the superb, open-plan lounge and kitchen/dining area.  The bespoke kitchen incorporates a wide range of high quality integrated appliances, together with granite worktops and a central island which doubles as a breakfast bar. You’re sure to enjoy curling up on an evening beside the traditional wood-burning stove in the lounge. You’ll also find art by renowned Dales artist Lucy Pittaway, to admire. Also on the ground floor is the charming conservatory, where you can take advantage of the views across the Dales or head out onto the wrap around balcony, which in turn takes you down to the landscaped gardens and access to the hot tub. The ground floor bedroom and en-suite offers easy access. 

 Each of the two other stunning bedrooms all feature the same quality of décor and furnishings, resulting in the ultimate sleep experience. Each bedroom is equipped with a Smart TV, Amazon Echo and their own en-suite bathroom or shower rooms. The master bathroom suite also enjoys the added luxury of an Aquavision TV in the wall, so you can enjoy watching your favourite shows whilst having a relaxing bath.

The attention to detail in Feathered Nest is second to none, offering guests a high level of luxury and elegance whilst retaining a relaxed homely atmosphere in what can only be described as a truly spectacular part of the country. The generous welcome pack will ensure that your holiday gets off to a great start.

Fabulous cottage, very high spec and the attention to detail means that everything has been thought of from the well equipped kitchen to the toiletries in the bathrooms.

We had a lovely warm welcome from Claire who was very helpful and kept us updated about local conditions during the recent wet and snowy weather. The hob was a challenge to use but it turned out to be operator error! The gardens are very nice and well equipped with BBQ and hot tub although we didn't use them because of the weather. A quality property - highly recommended Hide
