1 / 24Maheshwar
Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire
Two dogs are welcome at this luxurious barn conversion near Kirkbymoorside, sleeping six, with a wood burner, an enclosed private garden with hot tub and a private field for dogs to exercise.
Maheshwar is a luxurious barn conversion set in protected landscape, an AONB on the cusp of the North York Moors, with views across rolling countryside as far as the eye can see. It sleeps six, with plenty of space to welcome two dogs, and walking paths aplenty lead out into the country, which makes for a dog friendly retreat to remember.
Once part of an old two storey barn, the cottage has been lovingly furnished, with no expense spared on the styling. The 30ft open plan living space gathers comfortable seating round a feature wood burner, with a dining table for six, and the galley kitchen next door has all the mod cons. There is a separate room for the dogs to dry off in after a walk, along with storage space and a downstairs WC.
All three bedrooms are contemporary, spacious and en suite, the two king size rooms with shower rooms and the twin with a double ended bath. Outside, the enclosed private garden has a hot tub looking out over the rolling North York Moors countryside, plus a BBQ and garden furniture for long evenings. The cottage also has its own private field where the dogs can exercise and play. It is fenced, and dogs should be supervised there at all times. Shared facilities include a tennis court, a games room and a summer house, with a croquet set too.
A local shop and a hospitable pub are within walking distance, and Kirkbymoorside, with its gallery, antique shops, tea rooms, independent shops and Wednesday market, lies within easy reach, and so do the market towns of Helmsley and Pickering. All around is rolling countryside to explore with the dogs.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Maheshwar dog friendly?
Very much so. The owners have set aside a dedicated drying room beside the kitchen — a proper tiled space for muddy paws and wet coats, not just a corner somewhere. Outside, there's an enclosed garden and a private fenced field kept specifically for the dogs to run in.
Are dogs allowed at Maheshwar year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and the setup — a drying room, a fenced field, a hot tub on the terrace — suggests it's a place built with year-round dog owners in mind. It's worth confirming directly with the owners if you're planning a winter or spring visit.
What should I know before visiting Maheshwar with my dog?
Up to two dogs are welcome. The barn has a dedicated drying room off the kitchen, which is genuinely useful after a day on the North York Moors, and there's a private fenced field where dogs can run off lead. Nearby, the Ryedale Folk Museum at Hutton le Hole is dog friendly throughout its outdoor site, and open moorland is only a couple of miles north of Kirkbymoorside.
