Historic Holiday Home!
The Healthy Home Retreat offers a unique and tranquil escape, blending the charm of a historic holiday home with the serenity of a retreat space in the heart of Yorkshire. Nestled within a private woodland, this lovingly designed house provides a peaceful haven surrounded by nature. The garden, part of a cherished nature reserve cultivated over 50 years, is a sanctuary in itself, and the hilltop location offers breathtaking panoramic views that are among the property’s most prized features.
With a history spanning over 700 years, the original cottage has been thoughtfully expanded and transformed through the centuries. In 1999, the hay barn was converted into a luxurious living space, followed by the renovation of the outhouses into a magnificent building with sweeping vistas. Today, the retreat accommodates up to 16 guests in comfort, with 12 beds across six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and six reception rooms. This serene property is ideal for retreats, joyous celebrations, intimate weddings, or peaceful countryside holidays.
During the pandemic, the retreat adapted to provide flexible living arrangements. A second fully equipped kitchen was added to the Panorama Room in the New Building, allowing the property to be divided into two self-contained spaces, each accommodating six guests. This addition also created the luxurious Penthouse Suite, a private hideaway for two guests, offering stunning valley views. Available as a standalone midweek rental, it provides the perfect indulgent escape for a VIP guest.
At the opposite end of the property lies Walkers Cottage, a cosy, self-contained space with a separate entrance. This charming area includes the main kitchen, a dining room, the Tea Parlour, and two bedrooms with five beds. Midweek, Walkers Cottage is available as an independent rental for 4-6 guests, offering a warm and inviting base for smaller groups or families.
Conveniently located just a 10-minute drive from Skipton, a historic market town named the best place to live in Britain by the Sunday Times in 2014, the retreat’s central position makes it an ideal meeting point for friends and family from across the country. This exceptional property promises a memorable and rejuvenating experience for every guest.
