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 search for appropriate exclusive Country House hotels in this gorgeous rustic part of Britain.?? This area of the country has numerous old English market towns and towns 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 – found 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 bags will be taken for you from your vehicle to your bedroom that may be beautifully 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 an excellent brasserie for informal dining.?? The spa is located across the road in what seems to be a converted barn and has a small gym.?? The staff are very personable providing a top ~ first ~ firstclass service with nothing being too much difficulty.?? Having borrowed an umbrella and wellies which are offered by the hotel by the front door for your personal use we took a short walk by the stream Wharfe in the snow to the ruined Abbey and then crossed the stream by way of the stepping stones.?? Returning to this superbly designated 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.?? Actually dogs are tenderly welcomed the hotel having two resident dogs who will appreciate sharing your biscuits!??

Lastingham Grange – located in the attractive town of Lastingham a few miles from the market town of Pickering where the North Yorkshire Moors railway is located.?? This Country House Hotel has been owned and run by the same family for a number of 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 warmly greeted on arrival and taken straight 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 relax in this classic Country House Hotel.?? Dogs are welcome.??
