Ingber House, Bank Newton, Skipton, Yorkshire

3 night minimum stay. Sorry - no hen or stag groups.

This spacious country house was formerly a farmhouse dating from the early 1800s and a magnificent stone barn dating from the 1600s. They are now combined into a newly renovated, newly furnished and newly equipped house suitable for family gatherings and group holidays. The house offers 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 8 toilets, snooker room, a large garden, and is cosy and warm. All windows have wonderful long distance views of unspoilt green countryside with grazing sheep and cattle, rolling green hills and woodland.

There are 8 bedrooms: 1 ground floor king size double bedroom with adjacent bathroom, 2 first floor king size double bedrooms each with spacious en suite bathroom, 1 double and 4 twins, so the house sleeps 16 adults in comfort. There is one cot and one high chair provided.

There is a huge farmhouse style dining kitchen complete with 2 oven range cooker, extra large fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher and dining table for at least 16 people. There is also table football to entertain the kids large and small. There is a second kitchen with 4 ring electric hob, oven and grill plus a washing machine and dryer.

The games room has a full size snooker table and full ancillary equipment to professional snooker standard. There are two comfortable sitting rooms (one with open fire in feature stone surround), each with a 42 inch flat screen TV.

Up to 4 dogs are welcome. The garden is dog proof, but outside the garden they must be on a lead as this is sheep farming country.

Set at the end of a one mile long private track (tarmac'd) in the depths of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside, this former farmhouse makes an excellent base for touring the western Yorkshire Dales and rural Lancashire. Wonderful country walks on public footpaths radiate out in all directions from this idyllically located rural property.

The pleasant riverside village of Gargrave, with late opening Co-op supermarket, cafes, pubs and an Indian restaurant, is 2 miles away. The attractive market town of Skipton with large supermarkets (Morrisons, Tesco, Aldi) and many independent shops and restaurants is 5 miles.
