Book Direct and Save

Save on service fees by booking direct on Houfy.

A converted isolation hospital, which has also been a rope mill (remains of original wheel are still in place), and a dairy. It's a great place for a gathering with friends or family, close to Masham but with lots of outdoor space.

Strictly no loud parties please... Definitely come to have fun, but in a sedate and steady kind of way!The house is spacious and well equipped.

It has been a major renovation project and has retained its quirks and character as well as gaining some warmth and comfort! We're not 100% there yet, and are delighted to be using Airbnb/Houfy funds to keep going with improvements, so thank you for helping us get there! Guests so far have been very complimentary but please don't expect perfection!!

It's an interesting and relaxing space to stay in, with the countryside on your doorstep, and Masham a short walk across fields (public footpath - 10/15 minute walk) or an even shorter drive (2/3 mins!)

Guests enjoy the large kitchen, with old range cooker (sadly not working yet, but adds to the ambience). We're big cooking fans, so the kitchen is well equipped with most mod cons (big cooker, big fridge and freezer, wine fridge, KitchenAid mixer, bread maker, etc etc - let us know if you've got a specific cooking requirement in mind)

There are five bedrooms, four of which are ensuite:

1. Big room, king sized bed, en suite bathroom with bath and shower (can add single z bed here if needed)
2. Double room. With ensuite shower room. Room for travel cot if required, but not for additional single.
3. 'Harry Potter' room (see pics). A bedroom which can be a double, or double plus single , a twin, or a triple, with ensuite bathroom (bath with shower over) (Note picture of bed not up to date in this room)
4. Double, with pallet-wood feature wall. Room for further single if required, with ensuite bathroom (bath with shower over)
5. Double bed with a single above. Morroccan/Bohemian style decor. This room is not ensuite. Again, room for further z bed in here if required.

The house is set in a garden of 1/3 of an acre. The pictures show the front, with seating near a brick built barbecue. The back of the house is a further garden area. It is overlooked from the big bifold doors in the kitchen and lounge so you can cook and keep a check on the kids...

Policies and Rules

Icon
Check In: 4PM - Flexible
We are often ready before the check in time but ask that guests just give us a text or call when they're in the area rather than turn up on spec (we want you to have a good first impression). We can meet and show you around or use the key safe, depending on your timings and preference!
Read more
Icon
Check Out: 11AM
Minimum age limit for renters: 25
We can be cautious about younger age groups - please do discuss with us if you're interested in booking.
Maximum occupancy: 12
There are 5 double bedrooms, some of which can take an extra single to accommodate up to 12 people.
House Rules
The house is very much a 'home' and we'd hope you feel at home and treat it as such too.

We do have one neighbouring property and we'd ask that celebrations take their sleep into account.

Smoking outside is fine, not inside please. Could smokers also please be considerate with late night outdoor chats!

Strictly no stag dos I'm afraid. Unfortunately we are now having to say no mixed groups of single people either, and I'm afraid we are also increasingly likely to say no to younger groups.

I didn't think I needed to say this either, but please don't bring additional people who are not accounted for in the booking without telling us. Generally if others wish to join you we can alter the booking so long as we've been consulted.

Also, the lane down towards the house is often used by dog walkers. Please do take it very steady down here (your suspension will thank you for it anyway!) Apart from the safety element it can create a dust cloud if you take it at speed...

No parties or eventsCheck-in is anytime after 4:00 PM

Cancellation Policy
50% of reservation fee will be refunded if cancelled up to 48 hours in advance and no refund if cancelled 'last minute' eg within 48 hours before the trip takes place.

If you are unable to stay then we ask that you work with us to cancel as soon as the issue occurs. With as much notice as is possible, we may be able to rebook the dates and offer full refund. If you leave it until we don't have time to rebook the dates we may still have to charge you for your stay.

Notes
The stairs are fabulous old railway sleepers, which means they look great but need to be treated with absolute care by smaller visitors, eg for under 5s you may feel the need to keep a close eye and not let them wander off on their own. We have had a lot of families stay, who don't seem to have struggled, and we brought our own kids up here so we are by no means saying don't bring kids, just be aware! The garden is also unfenced, with a stream at the back so children will need to b watched.

We try to be as eco friendly as possible and leave 'Faith in Nature' products in reusable/already recycled bottles for your use.
