Relax in this typical Country House Hotel
We have visited several luxury Country House hostels in North Yorkshire in the North of England and trust that the following will help in your hunt for acceptable exclusive Country House hotels in this gorgeous rural part of England. This area of the country has many old English market towns and hamlets located in the countrywide Parks of the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
The following Country House hostels all have our private recommendation:-
The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – located by the river Wharfe at Bolton Abbey Nr Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales. The hotel is the property of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. A friendly welcome awaits-your baggage will be taken for you from your automobile to your bedroom that may be fantastically allocated. We stayed in a room in the original part of the hotel which had a horse racing theme. Fires burn in inclement weather in the entrance hall and the lounges. The Michelin starred restaurant serves beautiful food and drink and there’s also a superb eaterie for informal dining. The spa is located across the road in what seems to be a converted barn and contains a little gymnasium. The staff are extremely friendly providing a top ~ first ~ firstclass service with nothing being too much trouble. Having borrowed an umbrella and wellington boots which are offered by the hotel by the front door for your private use we took a short walk by the brook Wharfe in the snow to the ruined Abbey and then crossed the river by way of the stepping stones. Returning to this fantastically allocated Country House Hotel we enjoyed tea and scones in front of a roaring fire in one of the lounges. If you’re visiting the Yorkshire Dales you must stay at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – you won’t be disappointed. Actually dogs are warmly welcomed the hotel having 2 resident dogs who will appreciate sharing your biscuits!
Lastingham Grange – found in the beautiful village of Lastingham a few miles from the market city of Pickering where the North Yorkshire Moors railway is located. This Country House Hotel has been owned and run by the same family for many years with many guests returning time after time. Set in many acres including beautifully maintained gardens you can walk out of the front door of the hotel and within a five minute walk be on the North Yorkshire Moors enjoying spectacular perspectives. We were tenderly greeted on arrival and taken directly to our room which was well elected. We enjoyed tea and scones in the lounge which had a roaring fire-the Darjeeling tea is the best we have tasted. Dinner was noteworthy with the food being of a high standard as was the highly private service – it was like staying in someone’s home. You cannot fail but to chill in this typical Country House Hotel. Dogs are welcome.
