| DEDICATED WEBSITE www.redhousefarm.com The North York Moors National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty which, as well as containing the largest expanse of heather moorland in England, boasts the Heritage Coast and the highest cliffs in the country. We are in a perfect position, just 8 miles from the sea, from which to explore this area. Red House Farm is located in Glaisdale Dale, just 400 metres from the village of Glaisdale, and consists of a group of traditional farm buildings dating from the mid 17th century. Listed by English Heritage as being of architectural interest, it is featured in Houses of the North York Moors, a book published by the Royal Commission on the historical monuments of England. The farmhouse has been renovated to a very high standard and while all traditional features have been retained, central heating has been installed and is controllable in each room, a bathroom has been added to each bedroom along with amenities such as colour TV and tea-making equipment. |
 | The Old Sheaf Store, The Threshing Barn and the new studio Hayloft have been converted to form accommodation for self-catering or extra bed &breakfast. We have tried to maintain the 'feel' of a barn while adding all the luxuries of modern living, forexample, central heating (although we still added a wood stove), dishwashers, microwaves, etc. Wewere pleased to featureon the opening pages of English Country Cottage 2004 Brochure, as well as the 'July' picture of their 1999 Calendar, and in ECC's 2008 brochure a full page photo of Red House Farm introduces the Yorkshire and Northumbria section.

| Guests have the use of a billiards room in another of the old barns, which also contains a TV and radio plus a selection of books of walks/tours of the area. The games room is very much an adult area where under 16's are not permitted unless strictly supervised. There is ample off-road parking and grounds of around one acre, with well-established gardens and many sitting areas - in the herb garden, around our semi-wild pond and, for the Old Sheaf Store, Hayloft and Threshing Barn, on patios, outside the cottages. We have hens, ducks, geese and ponies running around, and a few cattle which include Old English Longhorns, but no tractors and no modern farm buildings - being only a small holding of some 12 acres. There is excellent walking from the doorstep- a bridleway which is part of a walk featured in several books runs through our yard. Wainright's Coast-to-Coast passes within ¼ mile of the farm, as does the Esk Valley Walk. The Heritage Coast Walk is only a short journey away. We have been running Red House as a Bed and Breakfast since about 1991 when we returned to the UK from work abroad and decided on a change of lifestyle. We hope to offer a warm and personal welcome to this area and our home. |
