Description
The Coach House at Jervaulx in Lower Wensleydale is nestled in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within two miles of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. The tranquil hamlet of Jervaulx is famous for the atmospheric ruins of the Cistercian Jervaulx Abbey which is almost in the front garden with the top of the walls visible from the living area windows. Rivers, reservoirs, pastures, woodlands, ancient monuments and breathtaking hills and moorland are right here on our doorstep. The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, York, Durham and Ripon cathedral cities, the sophisticated spa town of Harrogate, the relaxed market towns of Leyburn, Masham and Richmond and the beautiful beach at the Victorian resort of Saltburn by the Sea are all within easy reach.
Located on the first floor above the former coach house, the property has been fully renovated to a high standard whilst retaining its original features and character (including vaulted ceilings with exposed original roof beams throughout). The stunning interior combines a mixture of contemporary and traditional style with wooden floors, double glazing and central heating throughout. The spacious open-plan living area is equipped with a wood burner with a free supply of wood creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere on even the coldest days.
The sumptuous welcome basket will ensure that your holiday gets off to a great start in a truly spectacular part of the country. If you are lucky and here at the right time of year you may even be treated to a bottle of our home-grown apple juice or home-brewed cider.
There is off-road parking for at least 2 cars and secure bicycle storage is available in the stables across the courtyard. By prior arrangement we can also accommodate a holiday with your horse with stabling available in an adjacent paddock – please enquire first.
