A House Built On Heritage

Stone House was built over a century ago as a country retreat, and it still feels that way today. In the 1980s, Peter and Jane Taplin took the bold step of transforming it into a hotel and, for more than 40 years, it has remained family-run – nurturing a tradition of warmth and true Yorkshire hospitality.

Today, Joe and Holly Hobson carry on that tradition, quietly preserving what makes Stone House so special while gently shaping its future. Hands-on and down-to-earth, they focus on the details that truly matter – the unique personal touches that make Stone House feel warm, welcoming, and somewhere you can truly settle into. A place to return to, time and time again.

🐿️ Just look at that cheeky little face! 😍

Autumn is one of the best times to spot red squirrels at Snaizeholme, just a short drive from us. At this time of year, they’re busy foraging and gathering food to see them through the winter months.

If you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of these adorable little creatures, here are a few tips for your visit:

🕰️ Go early or late - red squirrels tend to be most active in the early morning and late afternoon
🌤️ Pick a calm, dry day - they’re more likely to stay tucked away when it’s wet or windy
🥾 Wear sturdy footwear - the circular walk is around 2.5-miles, with some steep, uneven sections
🐶 Consider leaving the dog at home - dogs are welcome on leads, but squirrels are shy, so you may have better luck without your four-legged friend
🚗 Plan your parking - parking at Snaizeholme is very limited and must be booked in advance. Alternatively, you can arrange transport from Hawes on the @the.littlewhitebus_udcpltd It’s worth checking the arrangements before setting off so you can enjoy a stress-free visit.

Of course, as with all wildlife, sightings are never guaranteed. But if you’re lucky enough to spot one, they’re certainly worth the wait!

🧡 Help protect their home - if you enjoy your visit, you might like to support the work of the @woodlandtrust to restore and protect the wider Snaizeholme landscape, helping wildlife thrive for years to come.
