Star View Barn & Spa - Hen party house in the Yorkshire Dales
Nothing short of extraordinary is where we will begin, at Star View Barn and Spa – a truly special and remarkable Yorkshire Dales gem that isn’t to be missed. Elegance, beauty and comfort are weaved meticulously throughout this charming hideaway, with attention to detail in every space you enter.
Burrowed thoughtfully on the Southern edge of the Yorkshire Dales, within the border between North Yorkshire and Lancashire, the nearby ancient market town of Settle is well known and much loved for its abundance of eateries, shops and picturesque walks, a treasured addition to explore for your family holiday, and perfect for guests of all ages. Brimming with charm and unique personality, you can opt for the Three Peaks, seek companionship in breath-taking waterfalls and cascades, or simply while away an afternoon
pottering locally and enjoying all the area has to offer. The clue is in the name here – nestled a fleeting venture from the Forest of Bowland – an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and within a Dark Sky location, you can gaze to your hearts’ content and let the constellations mesmerize you from dusk until dawn at this spectacular setting.
A welcoming, chic and contemporary barn conversion to meet on first impression, and a myriad of stunning touches of class upon further investigation, we invite you down a magical country lane in complete privacy and seclusion to explore this wonderful family getaway venue that’s a cut above the rest. Featuring seven bedrooms to sleep up to a total of fifteen of your closest family and friends, six of which boast a relaxing ensuite bath and shower room each, Star View is just the ticket for a sophisticated and memorable annual trip. Leave the routine and day to day behind, we’ll take care of the rest.
Two deluxe lounge areas and an additional snug are on offer here, perfect for family groups young and mature calling for a multitude of spaces to relax and unwind. Experience a little friendly competition in the ready-prepared games room, immerse yourself in a good book or enjoy a movie evening together, with pizza, popcorn and fizz. A vast oak dining area for hearty and comforting evening meals with accompanying wine (of course), a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen complete with modern appliances, and luscious manicured garden space make up the exquisite mosaic of features here at Star View. Designed to be enjoyed during all seasons, there is something for everyone, indoors and out.
Wake up on your first morning after a restful night’s sleep – if early, gather with your children and spot mysterious, wise owls on the windowsills who love to quietly nod hello. Sip a smooth fresh coffee and enjoy crisp pastries, sizzle up a storm with a full cooked breakfast, and energise your senses in the surrounding panoramic countryside views, you have to see
it to believe it.
If you thought this setting couldn’t boast further, we are delighted to offer a separate spa room for the adults among you, with a bubbling hot tub and warming sauna to indulge in – perfect for the unforgettable luxury experience you deserve for your special occasion, or on your annual holiday, just because. Soothe and invigorate your senses, refresh your mind,
and breathe in every moment. The utmost in superb and considerate creation, Star View Barn and Spa will take your breath away, and leave you wishing to return time and time again.
