North Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, England
Kingfisher's Nest is a converted barn on the bank of Cowesby Beck in North Yorkshire, where the sound of running water is the dominant feature. The interior is generous for a barn conversion, with a separate bedroom and en suite, plus a living space with pull out sofa bed. Outside, the property sits on a large lawn with paved patio and a wood fired barbecue.
The standout detail is an original Victorian bath with centrally placed taps, heated by a wood fired boiler with logs provided. It seats two comfortably and overlooks the stream. Two resident Border collies live on the property, though their movements can be restricted on request. With a 4.99 rating across 96 reviews, this is one of North Yorkshire's most consistently praised small stays.
We love the Victorian bath heated by a wood fired boiler. It is a genuinely unusual feature and far more characterful than a standard hot tub.
Many reviewers praise the retreat as a beautiful sanctuary for relaxation, set in stunning surroundings, often mentioning how much they loved their experience.
