Company info

My name is Gail and I am the owner of Moor End Farm and Swallow Cottage.

We have recently moved from a farm in Leeds to Ripon and we have been blown away by the friendliness of the local people and the beauty of the surrounding area.

Property info

Swallow Cottage is a self contained private property with its own facilities and outdoor space. Swallow Cottage has been recently redecorated and benefits from a good sized, open plan living space and a well appointed kitchen. The living room has a recently fitted wood burning stove. A large double bedroom with ensuite bathroom has been recently furnished with cream and oak furniture, including a dressing table with a mirror and plenty of storage space for clothing in a wardrobe and drawers. There is room for your own travel cot and I have an additional single bed that I can set up for an additional adult or child upon request. The bathroom has a shower and a drawer unit for storing cosmetics and toiletries. We have recently installed Starlink for excellent WiFi connection. After a day out exploring the local area there is a large leather sofa to relax on by the fire and a breakfast bar with high stools where you can enjoy a glass of wine or one of our local Masham beers. Based only 2 miles from Ripon and 8 miles from Harrogate with many of the attractions of North Yorkshire and the Dales within easy reach.
