Broom Barn

Perched high on the hillside above the charming village of Gilling West, this luxurious stone barn conversion offers some of the most breathtaking views in Yorkshire. Whether you’re gazing out from the comfort of the sofa, dining on the terrace or soaking beneath the stars in the opulent hot tub, every moment here is framed by the dramatic countryside that stretches out before you.

Inside, the barn has been designed with high ceilings, exposed beams and expansive windows that flood the rooms with natural light. It’s a space that blends old-world character with contemporary elegance, creating a truly inviting backdrop for your getaway. Gather with loved ones in the cosy lounge, where deep sofas and a crackling wood burner make it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening tipple. The open-plan kitchen and dining space is equally sociable – perch at the kitchen island with a glass in hand while someone whips up a feast using the modern appliances, then sit down to eat together around the dining table or take your meal outside to dine alfresco in the fresh Yorkshire air.

Sleeping up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms, the barn ensures a restful stay with super-comfy beds, soft linens and serene views from every window. Each room has been finished with the same balance of rustic warmth and modern comfort, making them the perfect retreat after days spent exploring.

Step outside and you’ll discover sprawling gardens, ideal for picnics, family games or simply lazing with a book in the sunshine. Children have plenty of space to run and play while the grown-ups can fire up the BBQ or slip down the steps to the hot tub for a long soak as the sun sets. The elevated position means you’re guaranteed a panorama of rolling fields and endless skies.

Approached via a private drive, the barn feels wonderfully secluded, yet the village pub in Gilling West is just a short stroll away when you fancy a hearty meal and a pint of local ale.

Beyond the barn, you’re perfectly placed to discover the beauty of Yorkshire Dales, the Moors and County Durham. Strike out on long walks along heather-clad hills, explore historic market towns like Richmond with its medieval castle, or venture further to discover waterfalls, wild valleys and charming stone villages. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or peaceful downtime, this is the ultimate country escape.

Broom Barn is located in the peaceful hamlet of Hartforth, just above the village of Gilling West, near Richmond, North Yorkshire, DL10 5JU. Set in an elevated position with far-reaching views across the Yorkshire countryside, the property is approached via a private drive off Hartforth Lane.
