Thornton Lodge

Description

Thornton Lodge is a beautiful and immensely peaceful Edwardian country house steeped in character and history. It's setting, within acres of landscaped grounds, woodlands and pasture offer peace and tranquillity, which visitors find difficult to draw away from. With walks and cycle routes from the doorstep and fishing in the nearby River Ure there is much to do whilst still enjoying the breath-taking scenery.

Located along a spur road, above the A684, between Aysgarth Falls and Hawes (home to Wensleydale cheese), the village of Askrigg (location of James Herriots All Creatures Great and Small) lies across the valley, providing plenty of local places to visit.

Guest bedrooms  are individual in style and include small fridges. There are 3 large king size bedded rooms, 2 beautiful  4 poster bedded rooms with 6ft wide superkingsize beds and 2 very large ground floor bedded rooms, one being specifically reserved for people with mobility difficulties whilst the other occupies the entire width of the north wing of the house.

Charming and expansive communal areas include our magnificent oak panelled staircase and dining room with its charming period fireplace. Our large guest lounge and adjoining sun room provide a delightful setting for guests to relax in during their stay at Thornton Lodge.

Thornton Lodge is open from mid April until the end of September.
