The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel

We have visited several luxury Country House hotels in North Yorkshire in the North of Britain and trust that the following will help in your hunt for acceptable exclusive Country House hostels in this gorgeous rural part of Britain.?? This area of the country has countless old English market towns and villages located within 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 brook Wharfe at Bolton Abbey Nr Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales.?? The hotel is the property of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.?? A hearty welcome awaits-your luggage will be taken for you from your car to your bedroom which will be wonderfully allocated.?? We stayed in a room in the first 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 exquisite food and drink and there is also an excellent brasserie for informal dining.?? The spa is located across the road in what appears to be a converted barn and contains a small gymnasium.?? The staff are very personable providing a top ~ first ~ first-class service with nothing being too much trouble.?? Having borrowed an umbrella and wellington boots which are supplied 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 river 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 are visiting the Yorkshire Dales you have to stay at The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel – you won’t be disappointed.?? In reality dogs are warmly welcomed the hotel having 2 resident dogs who will appreciate sharing your biscuits!??

Lastingham Grange – located in the pretty village of Lastingham a few miles from the market city 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 a number of years with many guests returning time upon time.?? Set in several 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 perspectives.?? We were warmly greeted on arrival and taken directly 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 noteworthy with the food being of a high standard as was the extremely private service – it was like staying in someone’s home.?? You can’t fail but to chill in this standard Country House Hotel.?? Dogs are welcome.??
