Plantation Barn is an absolute gem of a property superbly situated amongst the stunning scenery of Arkengarthdale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This converted barn which sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms is very well equipped. The property benefits from an open fire in the lounge which is ideal to cosy up in front of after a busy day exploring the local area. There is a newly upgraded and refurbished conservatory with French doors opening onto the patio and garden, with fabulous views of the local wildlife and stunning scenery. Although renovated, the barn retains much of the character of the original building, such as beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and stone floors. The CB Inn is only a five-minute walk away (a torch is available at the property for dark nights) and is renowned for the quality of its food and welcome. The popular market town of Barnard Castle is well worth exploring where you will find lots of local produce, antique shops, the Bowes museum, castle ruins, pubs and traditional tea rooms.

The location of the cottage is perfect with stunning views and close to the CB Inn. The cottage was clean and had everything needed to make your stay comfortable. Found the bed upstairs to be very comfortable and liked all of the crisp white bedding.The shower was great. We really enjoyed our stay and it was excellent value.

Plantation barn is an ideal base for exploring the Yorkshire dales, just a few miles from Reeth, where there is a village store which is well stocked, and about 3 pubs all dog friendly and all serve food , an extra special mention to the Kings Arms, for good old good quality food we dined there most days as it was good value , they do fishy FridaRead morey, 2x fish and chips mushy peas for 16:95 with curry sauce and b&b an extra1:95 , we paid the same for 1 xfish and chips elsewhere and wasn't as nice , And they really make a fuss of our dogs . Back to the cottage, it is ideal for just sitting and watching the wildlife , or I did a regular morning stroll around the local area with the dogs ,before taking them out in the car visiting places , Barnard Castle is 10 miles , and the famous Tan Hill pub ( highest pub in Britain) is just 8 miles through gorgeous scenery. There's ample parking for 2x cars easily and all the amenities that you need Bar b q etc . We had a great time , The owners were easy to get hold of should you need them ( we didnt) and they are very accomadating and nice to talk . Thank you.. Hide
