Yorebridge House is nestled in the heart of Wensleydale, in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, just outside the village of Bainbridge, offering a rare combination of luxurious individually styled boutique bedrooms, with fine dining in an informal atmosphere. Bound by two rivers the hotel rooms boast beautiful views across the dales with rising fells on one side and the valley to Hawes on the other. The lounge and bar areas offer sumptuous interiors, oak flooring, relaxed comfy seating and an open fire.

Then there’s the contemporary loft suite Greenwich with its own separate lounge and cinema screen, and double baths overlooking the views of the dales and the ambient Kariega with its rich colours and fabrics and its own private garden on the banks of the River Ure. Six of the bedrooms boast their own private terrace with outdoor hot tub. There is also a beautiful option, 5 minutes from Yorebridge House, The Barn gives you the option to enjoy your own space, while still being able to enjoy the facilities at Yorebridge House.

I decided to propose and stayed at yorebridge. The staff were so helpful in making sure it was a special occasion. The themed room was lovely. Incredible spot if you enjoy nature walks. We gave a heads up that we were vegan, it really felt like the dinner menu wasn’t just adapted, but properly made to be vegan: we both agreed it was the fanciest and best meal we’d had together! Breakfast great too. Private hot tub. Helpful and friendly staff. Full marks all around.
Based on having dinner, bed and breakfast. Food - Dinner really good and prepared with a passion for detail and flavours. Enjoyed being able to see into the kitchen. Not big portions but the flavour is worth it. The green herb butter was outstanding. We would eat here again. Service - Excellent, friendly staff especially in restaurant. Thank you. Room - Quite compact compared to photos and getting a bit tired - hot tub cover falling apart. We would not stay again.
Fabulous couple of days. We chose a dog friendly room and bought our boy with us. Some brilliant walks around locally, we sure got our steps in. The room was really lovely and ambient - not your typical dog friendly room! We ate at Yorebridge on the first night and had a great meal, the hogget with pearl Barley was really exceptional, and my husband, who is a big dessert person, said the rhubarb & custard was the best he has ever had. So top marks to the chef! Finally thankyou to the excellent service at breakfast, they even gave us an extra sausage for the dog Thanks for great stay
We wanted to take a moment to write to you following our wedding at Yorebridge House in December, to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for the exceptional experience you and your team provided. From start to finish, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. The setting, the service, and the atmosphere were all outstanding and made our wedding truly unforgettable. In particular, we would like to commend Sophie, who was simply exceptional. Her organisation, calm reassurance, and genuine care meant that everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our day. Nothing was too much trouble, and her support before and during the wedding made a huge difference to us. Please also pass on our thanks to the wider team, whose friendliness and dedication did not go unnoticed by us or our guests. We were so pleased to be able to have our miniature dachshund Teddy with us on the day and the team took great care of him after the photos until the end of the night! The food was as outstanding as ever, even with 70 guests to cater for. We received so many compliments from our guests on the service and food as well. Our bridal party occupied all of the rooms in the house which everyone was equally blown away with - I'm sure you already know this, but you've made a diamond of a purchase! We will treasure the memories and look forward to returning later in the year to enjoy the delights of Yorebridge House again soon! With warmest regards, Lucy & Jay Whiten
Popped in for a drink in the bar with the dog while on a walk, very welcoming and friendly, great service and choice. Returned later in the week for the tasting menu and it was a wonderful experience, the staff were lovely, little dog got a blanket, food and service were outstanding. When stopping on the area again we will go back, thank you.
