This spacious first floor conversion of a detached stone-built barn is located in the grounds of the owner’s farmhouse on the outskirts of Settle, just over a mile from this ever-popular old market town. Set amongst Dales countryside, this is a first-class holiday home to really get away from it all. Recently fully restored using much imagination and design flair, the existing owners have gone to great lengths to ensure that Melsome provides stylish and modern accommodation for all their guests. Enter the retreat via an external stone-built staircase and balcony area into the central hallway. The main living area is a real delight with a marvellous open-plan design. The bespoke corner kitchen is well-equipped and there is a central breakfast bar which serves as a dining area. The lovely sitting room boasts a warm and cosy woodburning stove, a great place to be on a cold winter's night, snuggling up in front of the fire with a warm drink and a good book. The spacious master bedroom features a super king-size double bed, fabulous A-framed beams and lovely views of the surrounding countryside including the herd of sheep grazing in the adjoining field. Add to this luxurious mix a modern shower room with walk-in power shower and all the ingredients are there for a superb Yorkshire Dales holiday. Guests can sit on the balcony and enjoy views out towards the limestone fells and maybe catch the odd steam train going past. With a myriad of paths, lanes and bridleways from the doorstep, guests can experience walking and cycling through some of the most scenic countryside in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst for the more experienced and energetic guests there is of course the famous Three Peaks challenge. The Settle Loop is a bridleway which can be walked, cycled or enjoyed on horseback. For those less inclined towards the great outdoors, there are many sightseeing activities in the area.

Reviews
If you are looking for somewhere really special to stay this is the place to stay. The accommodation is furnished to an extremely high standard, decorated beautifully and the owners are more than generous. We could not fault it and are looking to stay again. We arrived on the Friday with Hazel and Charlie greeting us with warm mulled wine and mince pies. They had also left us some milk in the fridge. They gave us loads of advice on the area and always a warm greeting in the morning. What made this even more special were the little touches. HAzel had decorated the house beautifully and left a stocking of small presents under the tree for us to open on Christmas day. On Christmas day she also left us 2 glasses of buck fizz on the door step. We were also luck to get some fresh egg laid by the hens on the farm and fresh vegetables. The Craven arms down the road (3 minute walk) also does excellent food. The cottage also has lots of walking guides which we made full use off. The cottage was really peaceful and a views out of the bedroom window was incredible.
The Barn is luxurious, spacious, and the owner put her special style into it. Very clean, comfortable and it has everything you need to have a wonderful break. Hazel and Charlie make you very welcome and they are very generous with their gifts of free range eggs, cake and useful information. The views are amazing from the balcony and you can sit with a coffee and relax. The area has lots to offer. We explored villages, walked on canal paths, and enjoyed eating at the local pubs. Settle to Carlisle ride is a must and also Bolton Abbey. We highly recommend this Barn and hope to return in the future. First class!
