Hello and Welcome to
Stone House Hotel

Tucked away in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Stone House is an authentic country house retreat – family-run and full of charm, where every guest is made to feel at home from the moment they arrive.

It’s the kind of place where time slows down. Big views, peaceful spaces, and that feeling of being well looked after. Whether you’re here to stretch your legs or put your feet up, it’s a place to switch off, settle in, and make a few memories along the way.

 A Home Away From Home

Stone House is a family-run hotel with deep roots in the Yorkshire Dales.

Looking after people is what we do best; there’s no script – just a genuine, down-to-earth approach and a team who love what they do.

Whether it’s a favourite seat by the fire, a breakfast that hits the mark, or a nudge towards a hidden local walk, we take pride in the little things that make a stay feel special.

Everything here has been chosen with care – from the fabrics and furniture to the food on your plate. It’s our way of sharing what we love about this place, and giving you a stay that feels thoughtful, comfortable, and quietly memorable.

✨ An Evening to Remember ✨

A crackling fire, a hot drink, and a little unexpected magic in the skies above Stone House.

These lovely guests, enjoying our Dark Skies Escape package, were treated to a beautiful glimpse of the Northern Lights last night – a rather special addition to their evening under the stars.

Tucked away on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re fortunate to enjoy some wonderfully dark skies, and with the nights drawing in, there’s plenty to look forward to overhead.

🔭 Coming up in October’s night skies:

☄️ 21–22 October | Orionid Meteor Shower
A chance to spot shooting stars created by debris from Halley’s Comet, with up to 15–20 meteors an hour under ideal conditions.

🪐 24 October | The Moon Meets Saturn
Look out for the Moon appearing close to Saturn in the evening sky.

🌕 26 October | Hunter’s Moon
October’s full moon, traditionally associated with the autumn hunting season, illuminating the Dales.

✨ 27–28 October | The Seven Sisters
Watch as the Moon passes in front of stars in the Pleiades cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, in a beautiful celestial event called a lunar occultation.

Of course, clear skies are never guaranteed, and neither are the Northern Lights, but that’s all part of the magic. Sometimes all you need is a warm fire, a blanket, good company and a reason to look up.

Discover our Dark Skies Escape (link in bio) and make an evening of it. ✨ https://stonehousehotel.co.uk/offers-and-events/

🐑🐾 A busy day in the Yorkshire Dales!

Meet Doug, hard at work gathering sheep off the fells just a few miles from Stone House earlier this week. 

At this time of year, sheep are gathered from the hills for dipping, helping to protect them and keep their fleeces healthy. The younger sheep are then returned to the fells until tupping time, when the rams are introduced to the ewes for breeding ahead of spring lambing.

It’s all part of the traditional farming calendar in the Yorkshire Dales, and a lovely glimpse into the rhythms of rural life that continue right on our doorstep.

A big thank you to farmer Rusty for sharing this wonderful image with us – and to Doug for being such a good boy! 🐾💚

This autumn, experience the extraordinary skies of the Dales.

Our Dark Skies Escape is available on stays of two nights or more during October or November. Enjoy a three-course dinner on one evening, use of our telescope, a practical stargazing guide and a Dark Skies basket filled with treats to enjoy beneath the stars.

As night falls, the Dales come into their own. With so little light pollution, step outside and see the stars in all their glory - from familiar constellations to bright planets. And if the conditions are just right, you might even catch the Northern Lights overhead.

Find out more about our Dark Skies Escape on the website.
