The Stables in Vale of York | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About The Stables

The Stables, a beautifully-presented barn conversion tucked away in the picturesque village of Holme near Thirsk, North Yorkshire. Perfect for families or friends, this wonderful cottage boasts a bubbling hot tub, a toasty woodburning stove, and a pet-friendly policy, meaning your furry friends don't miss out on the Yorkshire adventures too!

Inside, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, a perfect spot to gather as a family or host a special occasion with friends. Here, you can toast to a magical holiday around the dining table for six, while the designated chef of the group gets to work in the well-equipped kitchen.

As the evenings grow darker, bring the dinner party natter to the inviting sitting room, where you can start to unwind in front of the woodburning stove and catch up on your favourite shows on the TV. When sleep calls, retreat upstairs to discover three well-accompanied bedrooms awaits you all to drift off into a refreshing night's embrace, while the bathroom, complete with a bath and walk-in shower, offers plenty of room to get ready for a new day in style.

When weather permits, open up the patio doors and head outside to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, or simply relax on the lawn with your four-legged friends. The highlight of the outdoor space is undoubtedly the hot tub, inviting you to soak your muscles and unwind under the stars after a day of adventures.

During your stay, embrace the great outdoors with a trip to the awe-inspiring Yordas Cave; a magical, limestone cavern that offers a fascinating underground experience. Venture further still to reach Ghyll, home to the breathtaking Gastack Beck Waterfall, resplendent as it cascades downward with absolute force.

Immerse yourself in the delightful symphony of nature; the rustle of the leaves, the soothing sound of the waterfall, and the melodies sung by local birdlife generating a tranquil setting. With the twinkling stars forming a familiar blanket back at The Stables, sink into the bubbling hot tub, and unwind in its soothing waters, your thoughts filled with the colourful memories of the day.

The Stables Reviews

Jennifer

We had a good stay and facilities were excellent. Lovely and warm and comfortable. It would have been helpful to have had the washing machine and hairdryer listed in info as we could have taken less luggage! Overall it was a very lovely experience. Loved the hot tub.

Lucy was a wonderful host. Always at the end of the phone and happy to help with anything we needed. So clean and tidy. Wish it was pet free just so it stays perfect as we want to come back again and again. Great location and garden is huge. Parking is fab too. Easy reach of everything we needed in the local area too. Thankyou!

Shazad

The stay was excellent and this property was newly built with all you need also dog friendly. The kids loved the hot tub.
