The Bull Pen

Welcome to The Bull Pen, a unique and beautiful hideaway set in one of Yorkshire's prettiest villages. Converted from a traditional cowshed, the cottage is fabulously appointed and an exquisite retreat for couples wanting a 5 Star service. Stylish and sophisticated interiors, simply stunning views and the delights of The Farmhouse just outside your front door! Designed to be the perfect bolt-hole for couples, everything about the place shouts pared back style, from the honesty drinks tray to the luxury welcome goodies that await your arrival. From nearly every window you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the North York Moors - relax and recharge!

A handsome colour scheme of greys and greens with natural fabrics, old beams, heavy stone sills and traditional rendered plasterwork allow you to appreciate the original building whilst enjoying all modern luxuries. The sitting room features a lovely linen covered sofa with an aged leather armchair, soft lit English Oak dining table and sheepskin rugs to make sure you're nice and cosy.

There's a large wall-mounted Samsung Frame SMART LCD TV and Wi-Fi is provided if you want to catch up online. The traditional woodstove fire finishes the scene perfectly. In the kitchen, you'll find a ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave and a Nespresso coffee-maker, along with well-equipped cupboards with high quality utensils, crockery and glassware for the cooks among you.

At the other end of the cottage is the fabulous bedroom with crisp white cotton bedding, comfy throws, cushions and soft mood lighting, a state of the art en-suite bathroom and large walk in rain shower.

The bedroom is an understated but opulent combination of simple styling with the wonderful addition of a cast iron roll top bath with brass taps sitting beneath an old oak beam. Hand waxed doors and wardrobes feature throughout. Inside the wardrobe even the coat hangers and shelves have their own hand stitched linen covers!

Exclusive toiletries by l’Occitane are provided for you as well as spa robes and slippers.

To the front of the Bull Pen is a large walled garden with scented shrubs and alpine bed. At the back is a wonderful private covered dining area with views to die for over the surrounding woodland and wildlife ponds. There's also an outdoor woodstove, a swinging bench and a BBQ so you can take full advantage of those balmy summer days! Throw open the stable door and settle down to a long lazy lunch over a bottle of fizz. Soak up the moorland views and see if you can spot the wild Roe Deer and Barn owls whom are usually daily visitors.

There is so much to enjoy outside this wonderful cottage. Guests are welcome to use the paths over the estate which is a conservation showpiece and home to more than 80 species of birds. There's plenty of lockable storage for your bikes.

A delicious, fresh and locally sourced welcome basket and honesty drinks tray is provided.
