Tucked within the rolling North Yorkshire countryside, this welcoming retreat brings families closer through comfort, charm, and a touch of quirk. Twelve ensuite bedrooms give everyone space to unwind, while the open-plan living area encourages togetherness around the fire. Every detail feels designed for sharing stories, laughter, and long-awaited reunions.

Gather in the spacious lounge where the log burner crackles and children sprawl with board games at their feet. Step outside to the two undercover hot tubs — a warm treat even on drizzly days — as grandparents chat nearby with a glass of fizz. Fire up the BBQ or pizza oven, and let dinner become a family event under the wide Yorkshire sky.

Mornings begin with fresh country air and coffee shared at the long dining table. Afternoons bring laughter, lazy walks, and splashing in the tubs before cosy film nights together. At The Dales Country House, time slows just enough for families to reconnect and celebrate what truly matters.

Bring everyone together and make your family celebration unforgettable at The Dales Country House.
