Here in the Dales, cheesemaking runs deep, and few do it better than The Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes. Their rich, crumbly cheeses are made using milk from nearby farms, where care for the land and the animals comes first.
It’s full of flavour and doesn’t need much fuss, and at Stone House, we’re proud to bring these ingredients to the table, weaving them into dishes that celebrate our region.
The @wensleydale_creamery Visitor Centre is just down the road from us, and offers a chance to learn how it’s made, taste the cheeses for yourself, and take a little of the Dales home with you.

In memory of Peter Taplin, whose vision helped shape Stone House into the place so many of us know and love today.
In the 1980s, Peter and Jane Taplin made the bold decision to transform a private country house into a hotel – opening its doors to the world and creating something truly unique. More than 40 years on, that same spirit of warmth and genuine Yorkshire hospitality continues to shape what makes Stone House so special.
Alongside Peter’s son, Chris – who had asked if we could create a lasting tribute to his father here at Stone House – Joe and Holly suggested this plaque and wording to be placed on “the bench” – a spot many guests will appreciate for its magnificent views over the Wensleydale Valley.
Chris shared that it was likely this very view that sealed the decision for Peter and Jane to buy Stone House when they visited the property in June 1980 – a sentiment that we, and no doubt many of those who have visited the hotel and sat on this bench, will completely understand.
We hope that this small gesture pays tribute to the enduring impact Peter and Jane have had on Stone House, and that their family can feel how strongly their legacy lives on in its ethos today. This beautiful old house remains a place to be welcomed warmly, to unwind, and to feel at home.
With love from the Hobson family and all at Stone House x

A huge thank you to @muddystilettos for their wonderful review.
They’ve perfectly captured what makes a stay at Stone House so special, from our warm welcome to our comfort and character, in the heart of the Dales.
We’re so grateful for such thoughtful words that reflect the experience we aim to create for all our guests: a relaxed country house stay, surrounded by beautiful scenery, great food, and genuine hospitality.
If you haven’t read it yet, you can take a look at their blog and see our hotel through their eyes.
