Located between Aysgarth Falls and Hawes in a beautiful part of Wensleydale, Thornton Lodge provides an exceptional setting for short breaks and holidays. This wonderful property peeps down upon the river Ure from its seat above the main Leyburn to Hawes road. Many of the bedrooms enjoy fine views of Pen Hill. Offering 5 star silver accommodation for b&b with dinner available by arrangement, guests are at leisure to relax in the house and grounds throughout the day.

This beautiful sandstone property was built in 1909 as the summer home of a wealthy cotton baron and today provides a genteel retreat amid fine period features and antiques.

Externally, Thornton Lodge is set within three acres of formal grounds, with magnificent mature trees flanking the boundaries and lawned gardens stretching into views of the surrounding hills. A private gate gives access onto a further 10 acres of land surrounding the property, where a gentle climb up the hillside is rewarded by one of the best views imaginable.

Thornton Lodge has 9 individually styled rooms. Tastefully decorated in keeping with the Edwardian era, we have furnished the rooms with period wardrobes and dressing tables, blending these antiques with modern sofas and chairs from which to watch TV in comfort.
