Littlethorpe Barn is a beautifully restored Georgian stone barn set in the grounds of an Edwardian farmstead with far reaching views across the fields of this pretty area of North Yorkshire. Just 3 miles from the historic City of Ripon yet peacefully tucked away down country lanes, the farmstead is also home to friendly donkeys Daffodil and Buttercup who are always pleased to see visitors, you may also see sheep and lambs in the fields and  lookout for owls, ducks and birds too.

Littlethorpe Barn was renovated in 2023 to an exceptional standard by owners Leanne and David who have taken great care to respect the original features like the A frame beams. Using a soft colour palette throughout from Little Greene the Barn is full of warmth and charm, underfloor heating and a cosy wood burning stove, a deep bath for relaxing any aching muscles, sumptuous beds for the perfect nights sleep. Outside there is a pretty, private garden with hot tub and oak gazebo and beyond the garden you are surrounded by 15 acres of rolling Yorkshire countryside making this the perfect place to be.

Littlethorpe Barn for 5 guests and Littlethorpe Hay Shed for 2 guests are neighbouring properties that can be booked separately or together for a group of 7 guests.

THE LOCAL AREA

Ripon is a cathedral city steeped in history and home to magnificent historical buildings and long observed traditions. You will find a trio of award winning museums and a gothic cathedral that dates back to the 7th century to explore.

The growth of the city through trade and manufacturing led to the building of a canal to link it to the navigable parts of the River Ure. Today this makes Ripon a delightful city to explore, with riverside and canal side walks that reach into the countryside and buildings that span the last thousand years. The city’s history is entwined with the church, both due to the cathedral in Ripon city centre and its proximity to the nearby Fountains Abbey.

Ripon also boasts an outstanding racecourse, a glorious stately home, a magnificent abbey and popular theme park. There are always great things to do in Ripon.

One of England’s oldest cities, the Hornblower who has blown his horn at 9pm every night for 1100 years to ‘set the watch’.

Georgian and medieval buildings surround the ancient market place including the grade II listed Town Hall in which can be found the newly opened Tourist Information Centre.

With a thriving market place and a magnificent cathedral, this beautiful little city will earn a place in any visitor’s heart.
