Swallow Cottage is a self-contained private retreat, complete with its own facilities and outdoor space. Recently redecorated, it offers a generously sized open-plan living area and a well-appointed kitchen. The living room features a newly installed wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings in.

The spacious double bedroom, with its en-suite bathroom, has been freshly furnished in cream and oak. It includes a dressing table with a mirror and plenty of storage in the wardrobe and drawers. There is space for your own travel cot, and an additional single bed can be provided for another adult or child on request. The en-suite bathroom has a shower and a handy drawer unit for your toiletries and cosmetics.

The owners have recently installed Starlink, providing a strong and reliable Wi-Fi connection.

After a day exploring the local area, you can unwind on the large leather sofa by the fire or enjoy a glass of wine—or one of our local Masham beers—at the breakfast bar with its high stools.

Just 2 miles from Ripon and 8 miles from Harrogate, the cottage is ideally placed for discovering the many attractions of North Yorkshire and the Dales. The charming village of Bishop Monkton, with its lovely pub serving superb food, is only a mile away.

Nestled amongst the outbuildings of a small farm, the cottage enjoys a sheltered, peaceful setting amid beautiful countryside. Deer often wander through the nearby fields, which are home to horses and sheep.

With an abundance of footpaths and cycle routes close by, Swallow Cottage is perfectly situated for those wishing to experience the unspoilt beauty of North Yorkshire.
