  • Enjoy meandering around the surrounding parkland and woodland
  • Spend wonderful evenings dining alfresco next to the lake
Overview
Property code: 88656

Resting on the outskirts of the village of Kirkby Fleetham, within the grounds of the magnificent Kirkby Fleetham Hall, this retreat offers two guests a homely base for some adventures in the North Yorkshire countryside. The North York Moors are 23 miles east and Yorkshire Dales 18 miles west, making this an ideal base for keen walkers and cyclists. Within the grounds are beautifully landscaped gardens, a lake, St Mary's Church and a private woodland where you are free to roam. Kirkby Fleetham is 1.5 miles away and has a gastro pub serving local real ales and good food. Northallerton is the nearest town with its abundance of shops and tea rooms or head towards Richmond with its cobbled market square, Norman castle and popular market selling local produce, both within 10 miles.

Adjacent to the hall, yet with privacy assured, a shared gravel drive gives access to this renovated coach house. Step inside the entrance with plenty of space for coats and muddy boots. The main living area is up the stairs where you can appreciate the splendid views of the landscaped gardens and lake through the arched windows. The lounge has impressive, beamed ceilings and is the perfect place to return to after a day of exploring the dales with comfy sofas and a Smart TV for your entertainment. You can rustle up home-cooked meals in the kitchen/diner equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Enjoy your meal at the dining table or take it outside to a bistro-style table beside the lake. When it’s time to get a good night's rest, head downstairs to the beautiful bedroom that overlooks the lake, with a super-king-size bed you can really stretch out in. The bathroom is next door with a shower cubicle, bath and WC, great for getting a refreshing start in the morning or relaxing on an evening.

Guests have access to the phenomenal gardens with manicured lawns, well-stocked borders and a lake. While away the hours with your loved one, throw down a blanket beside the water and watch the wildlife close-up. In addition, there are paddocks and stables for visitors with equestrian interests. There is off-road parking for one car.

Overall a wonderful location and delightful apartment. The bedroom was amazing with a very comfortable bed. The apartment is well laid out and the bathroom spacious, well equipped and hot water plentiful. The lake, walled garden and grounds are very special and peaceful.

The mattress was sadly terrible, hence 1 star for comfort. No support, very poor quality. My husband slept on the sofa! On our last day we were given another mattress, but a smaller size. I hope that the owner has since replaced the mattress following my ongoing complaints to owner and agent. Also there was not enough crockery. However, the locatioRead moren is good, the loft was warm, staff were nice. A shame the mattress totally impacted the quality of our holiday. A good bed should be fundamental! Hide

Lovely cottage, very comfortable. Enjoyed watching lots of wildlife around the lake, including the regular kingfisher. The peaceful evenings were only broken by the owl hooting. Lovely to sit by the lake in the sun drinking wine, eating tapas, and strolling around the grounds.

Farrier's Loft is in a delightfully quiet area and having tea/prosecco on the beautiful lawn area is great. You're guaranteed a good night's sleep in a very comfy bed. Take your own salt, pepper and oil, as none is provided - take your own bread knife too. It's very easy to get to Richmond, Northallerton and Durham and beyond. The RAF Leeming viewiRead moreng area is 15 mins away, and there are plenty of cafes within easy reach. Hide

The cottage was beautiful with everything you need. The bathroom is lovely with huge shower and free standing bath.Had a brilliant 3 night stay, the accommodation was excellent as was the weather.

Would certainly recommend a stay and we are planning an another trip in the autumn. Hide

The cottage is in a unique location,sharing the building is not a problem as there is an arch between the two loft spaces so privacy is not an issue. We were very fortunate to have a view of the stone garden bridge extensive lawns and the calming lake. Being organic we were able to use the freezer for our food.

The Farriers Loft is located at the bottom of Fleetham Hall driveway and has been converted well. Tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings and good equipment. Pleasant grounds with lots of wildlife, including the resident Labrador now and then. Kirkby Fleetham is well located to explore the wider area of Yorkshire. The main hall has large Read moregrounds which were regularly maintained during our stay, which can interrupt the privacy at times. An outside table would be beneficial. Hide
