2 Bedroom House in Spennithorne

Staying at this charming retreat, part of Thorney Hall, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales offers couples and families a wonderful mix of history, scenery and memorable days out. Built by Lord Bolton for his daughter, the Hall was carefully positioned to capture his favourite view – Middleham Castle, perfectly framed from the house. The surrounding area is a dream for walkers, with the Yorkshire Dales right on the doorstep and a thriving community pub just half a mile away. Head to Harmby Waterfall (0.5 miles), a hidden gem where water tumbles into a leafy gorge. Families will love a trip to The Forbidden Corner (5.5 miles), a unique maze of tunnels, follies and surprises set within a four-acre garden. For shops, cafes and local charm, Leyburn (1.5 miles) is ideal for a wander, while the historic market town of Richmond (11 miles) makes a great day out, with its cobbled marketplace, castle and riverside walks.

All arranged on one level (with three internal steps leading to the bedrooms), this welcoming retreat blends heritage character with modern comfort. Enter into the generous hallway, where an original cast-iron cooking range makes a striking first impression. The lounge has a snug feel, with sofa seating and a Smart TV for relaxed evenings in. Next door, the kitchen/diner pairs smart grey cabinetry with warm wooden worktops and everything needed for laid-back mealtimes. There are two bedrooms: a twin and a king-size master with its own dressing area. A door can be closed to create a more private suite arrangement if required. A family shower room serves the twin room, while the master has access to a bathroom.

Outside, the enclosed garden includes a lawn, patio and outdoor furniture for al fresco drinks or dining. Parking is available for 1 car on a private gated driveway.
