Here sits Grewelthorpe, a pretty village with a central green, pond and pub. Just outside the village in elevated verdant countryside between the high western hills and the Vale of York is Thorpe House and its associated barns and farm buildings. The Hay Barn is a recent and innovative barn conversion adjacent to the main house with its own walled garden. Entry from the garden is to a stunning, spacious and very well equipped fitted kitchen and dining area with stone flagged floor, beamed ceiling and wood-burning stove on a raised hearth backed by a Victorian fireplace. Off the kitchen is a large, comfortable lounge with beamed ceiling and polished wood floor. Through the lounge is a bedroom with twin beds which views out over surrounding fields towards Kirkby Malzeard. An open pine stairway rises from the kitchen to a small landing serving an interesting double bedroom with a skylight, to watch the night stars, as well as windows to take in the views and a beautiful shower room with large shower and sprinkler, washbasin and toilet. The Hay Barn has been meticulously and lovingly converted with attention to detail and a desire to uphold tradition yet provide modern comfort. The exposure of original features such as stained beams, exposed stonework and natural woodwork embellish the rich character of this unusual home. The cottage stands amid tranquil rolling countryside in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a working farm with easy access, even on foot, to local villages and their facilities. It is close to Hackfall Wood and The Himalayan Gardens and within a short drive to Masham, Ripon, Pateley Bridge, Bedale, Harrogate and of course the Yorkshire Dales National Park plus a multitude of other renowned holiday attractions. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89460000/89458600/89458523/ae846671.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country Hideaways | Briar Cottage | Middleham Leyburn - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=89458523&PinnedHotelID=89458523&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112730000/112728200/112728192/bb57fb47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Estate Office Nr Grantley Hall Grantley - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=112728192&PinnedHotelID=112728192&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81730000/81723300/81723286/993ff15c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Claro Cottage - UK37450 Pateley Bridge, near Harrogate - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=81723286&PinnedHotelID=81723286&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34740000/34738100/34738016/fa48a631.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury self-catered cottage set in the heart of North Yorkshire Brearton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 51 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-20&endDate=2025-10-21&selected=34738016&PinnedHotelID=34738016&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90050000/90047900/90047827/196b6301.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Time to take it easy at this unique and tranquil luxury getaway.
