After a bracing walk or cycle ride, what could be better than unwinding in a sauna? Located in your extensive private garden is a modern Scandi wooden sauna pod with authentic Harvia wood-burning heater and separate changing area. Just give us a couple of hours notice and we will prepare your sauna for walk-in readiness. We provide hammam towels, sauna slippers, sauna oils and water pail, sauna timer and bottles of local Crag spring water. There is a hot and cold water shower pod next to the sauna for cooling off.
The very large landscaped private gardens include a spacious York stone terrace with wonderful country views to enjoy with your outdoor dining or BBQ (large and smaller Weber BBQs with cooking tools and charcoal provided). There is seating for 8 at our bespoke garden table with parasol and benches.
As dog owners ourselves we recognise that a dog-friendly holiday needs to be properly dog-friendly. We have converted one of the stables into a dog grooming parlour equipped with a professional walk-in electric-lift dog bath, heated shower, grooming table with pet hairdryer and grooming items including brush, comb and Wahl almond shampoo. Inside the barn you will find dog beds (small, medium, large and enormous), dog food and water bowls, throws for the furniture, spare collars and leads with High Ridge Barn ID tags, and a pet first aid kit. Plus organic dog treats which are loved by all dogs!
We know that work commitments often interrupt a holiday so why not work from High Ridge Barn in your own dedicated holiday HQ without disturbing your fellow guests. We will convert one of the four bedrooms into an office with a modern desk, an ergonomic Herman Miller chair, and an anglepoise lamp. The superfast broadband makes Zoom and Teams meetings easy and if someone's droning on you can always enjoy the view!
