The Stables, Ellingstring

The Stables is a converted stone barn in North Yorkshire, tucked away in the countryside near Ripon. Original features include exposed timber beams, thick stone walls and a wood-burning stove that anchors the open-plan living space. The barn sleeps four guests and offers a peaceful rural retreat with character throughout.

The setting is pure Yorkshire countryside. Rolling fields stretch out in every direction. You'll hear birdsong instead of traffic. The barn sits in a quiet hamlet where footpaths lead straight from the door into farmland and woodland.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms and one bathroom. The open-plan kitchen and living area features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and original stonework. A wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering.
