Poverty Hill Barn

With enviable views across the Ribble Valley and Yorkshire Dales, Poverty Hill Barn is a charming self-catering holiday home set on the historic Broughton Sanctuary estate. With direct access to over 3,000 acres of private parkland, it offers the perfect base for walkers, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful escape into the countryside.

This beautifully restored stone barn conversion blends rustic charm with contemporary comfort. Sleeps up to 6 guests across three elegantly furnished bedrooms, each offering scenic views across the estate. The spacious open-plan living area features a fully equipped kitchen, dining space, and a cosy lounge — the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the Dales.

Poverty Hill’s location makes it a dream destination for walkers. Step outside the front door, and miles of woodland trails, open meadows, and wild moorland immediately surround you. Guests have exclusive access to the Sanctuary’s private walking routes, leading to ancient woodlands, waterfalls, and panoramic viewpoints. The Pennine Way and other well-known routes are within easy reach, offering both gentle strolls and more challenging hikes.

For those seeking a slower pace, Avalon Wellbeing Centre on the Sanctuary offers wellbeing classes, a heated indoor pool, and rejuvenating treatments to soothe tired muscles. The nearby market town of Skipton, with its historic castle, independent shops, and cosy pubs, is just a short drive away.

After a day of adventures, return to Poverty Hill and enjoy a BBQ on the patio or unwind with a glass of wine while watching the sun set over the Dales. The barn’s eco-friendly ethos aligns with the estate’s commitment to rewilding and nature recovery, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious travellers.

Whether you are embarking on a walking holiday to reconnect with nature or simply looking for a serene countryside retreat, Poverty Hill Barn offers a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and adventure in one of the most picturesque corners of England.
