If there’s one thing our team really knows, it’s the Yorkshire Dales.
We have spent years offering advice on where our guests should spend their time with us.
If you look at a map and trace a circle from Skipton to Knaresborough, Richmond to Barnard Castle, Sedbergh to Horton in Ribblesdale, we are right in the middle; away from the crowds, but close enough to be connected.
In our latest blog, we have rounded up our favourite Autumnal hiking trails, gentle riverside ambles, and dog-friendly walks.

We’ve always thought a hotel bedroom should feel like somewhere you want to spend time, rather than simply somewhere to sleep.
A comfortable bed is, of course, non-negotiable - but so too is a good chair or somewhere to put your feet up.
In Room 3, antique furniture works alongside newer pieces, and we’ve added plenty of pattern, texture and colour to give each of our rooms their own personality. But, perhaps most importantly, a good bed is waiting when you’re ready for it.
