Your Yorkshire Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 38)

HOME FROM HOME Who wouldn’t want a staycation when we live in such a stunning corner of the world? Gayles Hall Barns is a newly opened duo of self-catering holiday homes near Richmond, which are the most idyllic places for some post-wedding R&R. Just two years ago the rural spot was unrecognisable; the collection of barns, outbuildings and a sheep shed were dilapidated to say the least. Today, set in the scenic village of Gayles, stands the Shearing Shed (five bedrooms) and the characterful Sheep Dip (2 bedrooms). Separated by a circular courtyard, each perfectly balances traditional features with contemporary interiors. Think classic farmhouse kitchens, wood-panelled boot rooms and large open-plan living-dining rooms accented with fashionable fabrics in greys, blues and burnt orange. The Shearing Shed makes use of every inch of space so ten guests have plenty of room, making it ideal for wedding guest accommodation. Its quirky little brother Sheep Dip would be perfect for a mini-moon – especially with its al fresco hot tub and barbecue area.

That’s where The Bridesmaid Box from Limelight Wedding Emporium comes in.
