Ashmore House is an imposing, stone-built period house standing in a prominent position in the lovely village of Aldborough -St- John, near Richmond.

The well-furnished house sleeps 5/6 and is well equipped with everything you might need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It adjoins the home of the owners, John and Anne, who would be pleased to offer any help or advice you require while you are there. Oil-fired central heating, logs and coal for the open fire, bed linen and towels are all included in the charge.

Ashmore House is ideally situated for exploring many of the attractions of the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding area.

It is just 5 miles from the historic town of Richmond, the gateway to Swaledale and 8 miles from Barnard Castle and the Bowes Museum. If you travel a few miles further into Teesdale you can visit High Force waterfall, the highest waterfall in England.

As the village is only a few miles from Scotch Corner and the Al, Durham, Beamish Museum and Newcastle are within easy reach, and the Lake District and North York moors are also easily accessible for a day's outing.

The village of Aldborough itself, boasts one of the largest village greens in England, at one end of which is the village cricket club and a children's play area.  It is an ideal area for an evening stroll or exercising the dog. A small beck runs alongside the green crossed by the road bridge and three pedestrian bridges.

The village pub, the Stanwick Arms, overlooks one part of the village green and is renowned for excellent food. Many other nearby villages also have pubs with very good reputations for both food and drink; John and Anne would be pleased to give you further details.
