Is Rushton Barn Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Children can explore the surrounding fields and countryside directly from the barn. The open-plan living space gives families room to spread out under the vaulted ceiling. Settle's playground and swimming pool are 2 miles away. Malham's limestone pavement and cove make natural adventure playgrounds.

Groups Will Love...
The vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams dominates the living space at Rushton Barn. Original roof trusses span the full width of the conversion, creating dramatic height and showcasing the building's agricultural heritage. These structural beams remain untreated, showing centuries of weathering and use. The stone walls rise to meet the timber framework and natural light floods through windows positioned to highlight the roof structure throughout the day.
Pet Friendly
Rushton Barn does not accept pets. The owners operate a strict no-pets policy to maintain the barn's interior condition and accommodate guests with allergies. While the surrounding countryside and nearby footpaths would suit dogs perfectly, you'll need to find alternative accommodation if travelling with pets. Several other barn conversions in the Settle area do welcome dogs if this is essential for your booking.
