Low Hall

Lodge No 119

This ancient stone built farmhouse, believed to be medieval but refurbished in 1635, is found at the end of a long farm lane running downhill to a peaceful river valley. Surrounded by a garden designed to compliment the structure and history of the old house, Low Hall is a hidden treasure which has been in Pamela's family since 1921.

With views of the Dales from every window and only the sounds of the river, familiar owls and seasonal stock farm noises to punctuate the silence of the night, guests can expect a blissful night's sleep in comfortable beds, with a choice of sheets or duvet. The attics and ancient roofing always keep the house cool in summer.

Stone mullioned windows, beams and large open fireplaces dictate the simple décor, which is complemented perfectly by 17th century pieces of oak furniture and Persian rugs. A concession to more relaxed living is the conservatory, enabling guests to breakfast in the sunshine while enjoying bacon and eggs.

Your Bed & Breakfast Hosts
