1 / 23Maran
Sinderby, North Yorkshire
A spacious converted barn for four on the village green at Sinderby near Thirsk, with a private hot tub on an enclosed patio, a piano and a wood burner, two dogs welcome.
Maran is one of four spacious converted barns on a working organic farm, set on the village green at Sinderby, and it makes a lovely dog friendly base for four people and two dogs. High ceilings, exposed beams and luxury fixtures and fittings set the tone, and the edges of both the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors are within 12 miles.
Coats and boots come off at the door of the open plan living area, where stone floors with underfloor heating mean the dogs are soon flat out and warm. The sleek kitchen sits alongside a large wooden dining table with bench seating, and in the lounge there is a piano for the musician of the family and a wood burner for everyone else. Patio doors lead out to the garden, and on the first floor two large en suite bedrooms have Juliet balconies and Smart TVs.
Outside, the private hot tub sits on an enclosed patio with garden furniture, and a BBQ can be provided on request for dining outdoors while the dogs settle beside the table. There is a designated walking route through the farmland, and guests are welcome to help themselves to eggs from the hen pen.
The market towns of Masham, Ripon, Thirsk and Bedale are all within 10 miles, and York and Harrogate make good day trips. Lightwater Valley, Monk Park Farm and the World of James Herriot are close by for families, and for the dogs the draw is the walking country of the Dales and the Moors, an easy drive away in either direction.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Maran dog friendly?
Yes, Maran welcomes up to two dogs. The barn has stone floors throughout with underfloor heating, making it a genuinely practical space for wet dogs coming in from a walk, and there's an enclosed patio so they can be outside safely.
Are dogs allowed at Maran year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, and with underfloor heating under the stone floors and an enclosed patio, the setup is built to handle dogs in all weathers. It's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates.
What should I know before visiting Maran with my dog?
The property sleeps four and takes a maximum of two dogs, so it's worth noting that limit when booking. There's a marked walking route that runs directly from the door through the owners' farmland, which is a real bonus for getting dogs out without needing the car. The patio is enclosed, and the surrounding lanes at Sinderby are quiet enough to walk rather than drive — with Thirsk about 12 miles away for longer walks along the beck through town.
