Countryside calm

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and visit the wide-open spaces of the countryside. Book a break with us to discover rolling hills and quaint villages here in the UK.

The Yorkshire Dales are always picture-perfect, making any time the perfect time to explore the UK’s beautiful countryside.

There are plenty of walking routes that suit all ages and abilities and lots to see on the way, such as the three-stepped waterfall at Aysgarth which has been a tourist attraction for more than 200 years.

One of the most spectacular villages in the Dales is the unmissable Malham.

Pop into Malham National Park Centre for more information on the Malham Landscape Trail walk which takes you to three breathtaking beauty spots, Malham Cove, Gordale Scar and a remarkable limestone pavement which has featured in movies such as Harry Potter.

If tales of magic spark your interest, a visit to Janet’s Foss, home of Janet, Queen of the Fairies is a must. Remember to take your camera in case you spot her!

Make your break in Yorkshire extra special with a stay in Hoseasons’ Ribblesdale Lodges in Gisburn. This stunning cluster of luxury lodges are set in the grounds of the 1,000-acre Grade 1 listed Gisburn Park Estate in the heart of Ribble Valley, inspiration for Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings.

Nearby, the five star Grassington House Hotel is a beautiful three-storey, Grade ll listed Georgian house with an award-winning restaurant for the ultimate escape to the Dales.
