Welcome to Dragonfly, a luxury dog friendly cottage with a hot tub nearing Richmond, North Yorkshire. Sleeping up to eight guests, as well as boasting a gorgeous open-plan kitchen and living space, this is the perfect barn conversion for entertaining.

At Holiday at Home we professionally manage and maintain over 80 properties to the highest standard to provide the best experience for our guests.

The space
Tucked away in a peaceful North Yorkshire valley, Dragonfly is a beautifully converted four-bedroom farmhouse sleeping up to eight guests. With sweeping countryside views and stylish interiors, it’s the perfect retreat for families or groups looking to relax and reconnect.

At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows. Exposed stone and oak beams blend with modern finishes, while a large dining table, kitchen island, and cosy seating area with Smart TV make it ideal for socialising. There’s also a separate snug with a log-burning stove for quieter evenings.

The property offers four flexible bedrooms with super king-size zip-and-link beds. Three upstairs bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, including a master with a freestanding bath and valley views. A fourth ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower provides a more accessible option.

Outside, enjoy a private garden with countryside views, a charcoal BBQ, and a jacuzzi-style hot tub—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring. A front courtyard offers an additional peaceful seating area.

Dragonfly is dog-friendly and set alongside neighbouring barn Kingfisher, making it a great option for groups looking to book multiple cottages.

Whether you’re staying for a weekend or a week, this gorgeous home is the perfect place to enjoy the best of Yorkshire, from countryside walks to evenings under the stars.

Neighborhood highlights

Dragonfly is in a peaceful location, tucked between the villages of East Layton and West Layton in North Yorkshire. Just down the road, you'll find Mainsgill Farmshop, a popular family-run farm shop with an award-winning butchery counter, delicatessen, bakery, and all-day cafe.

Further afield we recommend visiting Richmond and Barnard Castle, two charming market towns on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and both within a 20-minute drive.

There are plenty of great pubs in the local area to enjoy, with the closest just two miles away. For those who want to be pampered, The Garage Spa is just a few miles west. Or perhaps treat yourselves to a private dining experience by one of our amazing partner local chefs! The Yorkshire Dales are only a short drive away, and nearby Stang Forest is a good walking spot and great for family picnics. It's also an easy drive to the North York Moors, or a wonderful day on the Yorkshire Coast.
