We have visited several luxury Country House hostels in North Yorkshire in the North of Britain and trust that the following will help in your search for appropriate exclusive Country House hostels in this gorgeous agricultural part of Britain. This area of the country has many old English market cities and hamlets found in the national Parks of the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
The following Country House hostels all have our personal recommendation:-
The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – located by the stream Wharfe at Bolton Abbey Nr Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales. The hotel is the property of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. A warm welcome awaits-your bags will be taken for you from your car to your bedroom that will be fantastically designated. We stayed in a room in the original 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 wonderful food and drink and there is also an excellent eaterie for informal dining. The spa is located across the road in what appears to be a converted barn and has a tiny gymnasium. The staff are extremely personable providing a top ~ first ~ first class 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 river Wharfe in the snow to the ruined Abbey and then crossed the stream by way of the stepping stones. Returning to this fantastically designated Country House Hotel we enjoyed tea and scones in front of a roaring fire in one of the lounges. If you are visiting the Yorkshire Dales you have to stay at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – you will not be disappointed. Incidentally dogs are warmly welcomed the hotel having two resident dogs who will appreciate sharing your biscuits!
Lastingham Grange – located in the beautiful town of Lastingham a few miles from the market town of Pickering where the North Yorkshire Moors train line is found. This Country House Hotel has been owned and run by the same family for many years with many guests returning time upon time. Set in many acres including beautifully maintained gardens you can walk out of the front door of the hotel and within a 5 minute walk be on the North Yorkshire Moors enjoying impressive views. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and taken direct to our room which was well allocated. We enjoyed tea and scones in the lounge which had a roaring fire-the Darjeeling tea is the best we have tasted. Dinner was memorable with the food being of a high standard as was the intensely 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.
