The Coach House

About this property

Middleham 3.5 miles. The Coach House is a charming first-floor cottage set in the peaceful hamlet of Jervaulx, surrounded by the rolling hills and open skies of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the Yorkshire Dales National Park just beyond. Sleeping up to four guests, this beautifully restored retreat is ideal for couples, friends or small families looking to unwind in one of North Yorkshire’s most scenic corners. Reached via a traditional stone staircase, the property blends its rustic heritage with tasteful, high-quality finishes. Inside, exposed beams and vaulted ceilings frame a spacious open-plan living area, where a woodburning stove provides a welcoming focal point.

The lounge features a Smart TV with soundbar, while the well-equipped kitchen offers everything you need for relaxed self-catering, including an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The dining table comfortably seats four, ideal for long, lazy breakfasts or evenings spent chatting over a bottle of wine. Both bedrooms can be arranged as super king-size or twin beds, dressed in luxury linens and Hypnos mattresses for a peaceful night’s sleep. The stylish family bathroom includes a sunken bath, walk-in shower, WC and bidet, adding a touch of indulgence to your stay. Outside, an enclosed courtyard garden with seating and raised planters provides a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening drinks.

Secure bike storage is available for cyclists, and stabling for horses can be arranged with the owners. Guests are also greeted with a welcome pack of local produce, often including homemade cider or fresh apple juice from the garden. From your doorstep, stroll to the hauntingly beautiful Jervaulx Abbey ruins, follow riverside and moorland trails, or enjoy a day exploring the charming market towns of Leyburn, Masham and Richmond. For a change of pace, Harrogate, York, and even the coast at Saltburn-by-the-Sea are easily reached by car. The Coach House promises a peaceful escape in the heart of Yorkshire countryside, a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak in the simple pleasures of rural life.

The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a castle keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The horses are a great sight as they make their way to the gallops every morning. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a range of shops, pubs and places to eat. The bustling market town of Leyburn is just a short drive away offering a variety of great shops and pubs, or why not take some time to explore The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises set amidst 4 acres of grounds, providing a fun day out for all the family? All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.
