North Yorkshire in the North of England
We have visited several luxury Country House hotels in North Yorkshire in the North of England and trust the following will help in your search for acceptable exclusive Country House hotels in this gorgeous rustic part of Britain. This area of the country has numerous old English market cities and villages found in the state Parks of the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
The following Country House hotels 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 belongs to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. A friendly welcome awaits-your luggage will be taken for you from your automobile to your bedroom that may be wonderfully allocated. We stayed in a room in the first part of the hotel which had a pony 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 brasserie for informal dining. The spa is found across the road in what seems to be a converted barn and contains a small gym. The staff are intensely charming providing a top ~ first ~ first-class service with nothing being too much trouble. Having borrowed an umbrella and wellies which are offered by the hotel by the front door for your private use we took a short walk by the river Wharfe in the snow to the ruined Abbey and then crossed the brook by way of the stepping stones. Returning to this beautifully appointed 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 should stay at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – you will not be disappointed. In reality dogs are warmly welcomed the hotel having 2 resident dogs who will appreciate sharing your biscuits!
Lastingham Grange – found in the attractive village of Lastingham a few miles from the market city of Pickering where the North Yorkshire Moors train line is located. This Country House Hotel has been owned and run by the same family for a few 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 impressive perspectives. We were tenderly greeted on arrival and taken directly to our room which was well appointed. 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 extremely private service – it was like staying in someone’s home. You cannot fail but to chill in this standard Country House Hotel. Dogs are welcome.
Alan Hope and his wife Anne have stayed at countless other exclusive Country House hostels in Britain.
