Set against gently rolling landscapes, Hawthorn Farmhouse offers a welcoming countryside home where contemporary comfort meets the traditional character of rural Yorkshire. Thoughtfully designed for families and groups of friends, this beautifully renovated four bedroom holiday home provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy memorable moments together, all within one of the region's most inspiring private estates.
Sleeping up to 10 guests, the farmhouse has been carefully arranged to balance sociable living with relaxation and privacy. Three well-appointed double bedrooms each feature their own en suite, while the top floor bedroom comfortably sleeps four and is served by a spacious shared bathroom. Downstairs, the bright and inviting living area encourages long conversations and relaxed evenings, with a stylish new kitchen creating the heart of the home.
From a sustainability point of view, the house is heated by a ground source system drawing energy from the surrounding land, saving around 13 tonnes of carbon each year (delivering the environmental benefit of around 528 oak trees annually).
The farmhouse sits within a wider 3,000 acre estate, home to other holiday rentals, where nature, wellbeing and outdoor adventure come together. Miles of scenic walking and cycling trails wind through ancient woodland and open parkland, while guests can arrange unforgettable seasonal experiences including guided wild swimming, woodland saunas, forest bathing and nature recovery tours.
The estate's Wellness Centre (around 2km away) offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and yoga and meditation sessions, available at selected times for a supplement. Daily breakfast is included and served in the estate's welcoming bistro, alongside wholesome lunches, while a traditional Yorkshire pub just 1km away offers regional ales and hearty local dishes.
Perfectly positioned in the foothills of the Yorkshire Dales, Hawthorn Farmhouse also places some of the North's finest attractions within easy reach. The historic market town of Skipton is just a 10-minute drive away, where its impressive medieval castle, independent shops and picturesque canal provide plenty to explore. Venture further into the Yorkshire Dales National Park for spectacular walks and dramatic scenery, or enjoy a memorable day trip to the Lake District.
Whether your plans centre on outdoor adventure, restorative wellness or simply spending quality time with loved ones, Hawthorn Farmhouse provides an exceptional base for discovering the very best of Yorkshire and beyond.
- Hawthorn Farmhouse is located within a vast 3000-acre estate and is one of several holiday properties. Please note that the estate’s centre (home to the bistro and Wellness Centre) is around 2km away from the holiday house (on the other side of the A59).
- You will need to pre-book use of the Wellness Centre (including the shared heated pool) and access is subject to an additional charge - please see the “Extras” tab for full details about pricing, timings and other information.
- Complimentary breakfast is served in the estate's bistro which is around 2km from the farmhouse.
- There is a business office next door to the property; however, it is very quiet and will not impact your privacy.
