The open farmland setting provides safe outdoor space for games and exploration. Inside, the wood-burning stove and hot tub require adult supervision.

This works better for older children who'll appreciate the rural setting and historical attractions within easy reach.

The private hot tub at The Malt Kiln offers something truly special for a barn conversion stay. Set outside with uninterrupted views across Yorkshire farmland towards the Dales, you can soak under the stars after days exploring Fountains Abbey or walking the surrounding countryside. The combination of bubbling warm water, fresh country air and complete rural peace creates memorable evenings. It's particularly magical in winter when you can watch your breath in the cold air while staying warm in the tub.

Pet Friendly

The property information doesn't confirm whether The Malt Kiln welcomes dogs, so you'll need to contact the owners directly before booking with pets. The working farm setting and surrounding countryside would suit dogs brilliantly, with footpaths leading straight from the door into quiet rural lanes. Open farmland provides excellent walking opportunities. Many barn conversions in this area do accept well-behaved dogs given the rural location.

The Malt Kiln Reviews

Wow, what an amazing place, it was absolutely perfect, the ideal place for a family get together, and a great location. Pure luxury and attention to detail , would highly recommend, cant wait to book again.

Stunning house with stunning views. Extremely clean. Wonderful hot tub. Everything you could possibly need. Fantastic entertaining kitchen. Beautiful bathrooms. The only minor niggle is the fact you are advised to head inside after 9pm to keep the noise from disturbing the neighbours. Other than that absolutely wonderful.

Nicola

Such a fabulous property! We absolutely loved staying here for the week having a family get together. Very spacious for a large gathering huge kitchen and lounge. Loved the pool table and having two dishwashers! Lovely views and footpaths straight out from the property which was lovely with a dog. Ample parking for 5 cars. We would definitely recommend this property!

The property was beautiful and absolutely spotless. Perfect for a big family to stay in as plenty of space. The listing said that this has a secure garden, however upon arrival we realised it wasn't, so it's worth noting if you're planning on taking a dog. We contacted Ellie who managed to block off a part of the courtyard so we didn't need to worry too much about the dog escaping, so she was super helpful! Would definitely recommend.

I celebrated my 60th birthday here with a group of friends. Beautiful house with excellent facilities close to Harrogate and local attractions. Sykes and the owner made every effort to accommodate our stay despite the power cut the previous day. The owner kindly put the log burner on and provided oil filled radiators, but fortunately the power was restored on arrival. Absolutely had a fantastic time here and would definitely recommend it.

Amazing stay at The Malt Kiln over New Year. The property excels in every regard and is even more impressive than the photos might suggest. Spacious, comfortable and incredibly well thought out. We would love to return in the summer to enjoy the BBQ area as well. A very very strong recommend for any groups looking for a luxurious escape.

Fantastic house would stay again in a heartbeat. Kitchen and facilities fantastic. Lounge great for are large party of 10 . Pool table a brilliant addition to the house . Had a fantastic Christmas holiday. Only downside if am being picky . Hot water was hit and miss .Could possibly be on a timer or needs a bigger tank for 5 showers as no one used the 2 baths . WiFi signal not the best . Hot tub temp could be turned up a little. Will definitely return.

What a fantastic house! Beautifully decorated, very spacious and well equipped. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay as a group of 10 adults. Lots of kitchen space and equipment for meal prep and large dining table made eating here a joy. The lounge was spacious and comfy as were all the bedrooms. Plenty of parking too. Easy access to Harrogate and the surrounding area we went to Harlow Carr and Swinsty Reservoir

Alison

Absolutely stunning property. Perfect for a long overdue family catch up. Very sociable downstairs space with well equipped kitchen, spacious dining area and welcoming lounge with very efficient wood burner. The pool table was a great addition and was well used by all of us. The bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, worked perfectly for couples and there was plenty of space for car parking. 10 out of 10!! Thank you..

Christine

We had a fabulous week at the Maltkiln from arrival to departure. It is very clean and has everything you can possibly need , for all ages we were aged from 2 to 72 . Is is very well located, just a few minutes drive to Harlow Carr, Harrogate and Valley Park. Very highly recommended.

Th property is fantastic with everything anyone could ever need and renovated decorated to a very high standard.

Suzanne

Very well equipped. Lovely property. In a lovely location.

Rebecca

The property is stunning, we had a lovely trip but there were a few niggles that unfortunately didnt make our stay 5 star we had a leaky toilet which prevented us from using our en suite which was really inconvenient, there were stains on some of the towels, the hot tub jets werent programmed properly and we had no bubbles for the first night plus the temperature was only tepid, there were a lot of cobwebs everywhere, we were only given one loo roll per room for a five day stay and the facial tissue boxes were empty. Ellie was very quick to respond to issues when raised but it was more the inconvenience of having to ask.

Lesley

Fabulous property. Furnished to a high standard with good facilities .Great location with much to see and do nearby

Everything is beautifully appointed and well equipped. Just a note that it would be really useful if there were some hooks in the bedrooms and bathrooms for robes towels.

Christopher

The property was well laid out, clean, maintained and supplied with all that we required. All our party enjoyed our stay and we would recommend the property to others that we know

Rebbecca

Amazing stay at the Malt Kiln, exactly as described. Hosts went out of there way to assist us when needed. Would highly recommend. Beautiful facilities.

Abigail

Wow this property is absolutely stunning and a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I couldnt fault the place at all, its got to be the best place I have ever stayed. The views are outstanding and the court yard is a sun trap its beautiful. I would highly recommended and will definitely be back in the future. The communication was great if there is any questions you need to ask they are right there to help. 1010 Thank you x

Christopher

A little uncertain when booking, with the property being brand new, but it turned out to be everything that wed hoped it would and more! ! Exquisitely decorated, spotlessly clean, super cosy and honestly struggled to find anything lacking. Special mention to Ellie, who gave us a warm reception on arrival and went beyond expected in helping us enjoy our stay!! Chris, Nadine & Esm

Claire

This is one of best stays we have done. This property is of the highest quality finish and so well equipt. We will be returning and highly recommend to anyone. 1010
