Stow House

Leyburn - 8 miles away

On the edge of the village, with sweeping views over Wensleydale, this Victorian rectory B&B in landscaped gardens is slightly austere without, belying exuberant and stylish interiors, mixing antique and modern pieces, contemporary artworks, cool bathrooms and cocktails.

Richmond - 10 miles away
