Charming Cosy Quiet Bolthole in North Yorkshire

🐓 Welcome to our bijou, quaint bolthole with oodles of rustic charm, located on the ‘Gateway’ to Lower Wensleydale Our peaceful little annexe was originally an Orangery/greenhouse, which served the adjoining house when it was a working farm.

Short and long breaks available. 🐕 🏍️ 🚲 welcome The Roost Retreat is adult-only accommodation. The space 🐓 The Roost Retreat is a charming little bolthole, for those who love quiet time from the hustle, bustle and crowds. It is dotted with a poultry theme throughout, as a nod towards its agricultural roots as part of a former farm. It has loads of character including the original wooden beam from its days as an orangery and with a high ‘lean-to’ ceiling, giving it a roomy airy feel. It was beautifully renovated in 2018 into quirky and tranquil self-catering annexe accommodation. Although the property is annexed to our family home (Elm Tree Farmhouse), it has total independence and privacy. Guests have use of the fully enclosed large front garden, with its own private parking and patio area with seating and barbeque. The Roost Retreat is located in a residential part of the village and set back off the road. The front garden with mature trees and variety of shrubs and flowers creates a relaxing place to unwind. We also have a number of wild birds including our resident Goldfinches, Blackbirds, Robins, Wrens, Blue, Long-Tailed and Great Tits and our resident House Sparrows 🐦 The property is well equipped with quality furnishings and bed linen including a luxurious king-size four poster bed and little extras you would not normally find. It has everything you need for a short or long break with a comfortable home-from-home experience. 👩‍❤️‍👨🧘‍♀️ The Roost Retreat is the perfect accommodation for couples and for solo lady travellers looking for a secure and safe place to stay.
