Enjoy the delightful setting and well appointed accommodation of Courtyard Guest House, located in the grounds of Barolin Farm, Markington.

The village of Markington is tucked between the Yorkshire towns of Ripon and the historic spa, Harrogate. Only a stones throw to the famous historic ruins of Fountain’s Abbey This lovely location is ideal for discovering the area, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales a few short miles to Thirsk, the home of renowned author James Herriot and the ‘World of James Herriot' museum. Barolin Farm Estate is a delight for country and animal lovers.

Take in the stunning Yorkshire views as you approach off the main roads and fields on each side of the driveway are stocked with horses and sheep. You will actually drive through the stable yards of the world famous Yorkshire Riding Centre as the small road way winds it’s way up to the main house and courtyard. If you arrive in daylight hours don’t be surprised if you meet a couple of horses returning from ridden exercise. Courtyard Guest House was formerly the main country house residence of the owners.

Grand and set around a courtyard, the front of the house is dignified and elegant with views over a spectacular walled garden. A haven for those seeking a quite retreat, a place to practise photography and art, in particular if you would like live animal models. Also well suited for those requiring individually styled accommodation, conveniently located to so many attractions and towns.
