Situated in the heart of Wensleydale, this 4-star family-run guest house provides the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful surroundings of the North Yorkshire Dales.
Based in Arrathorne, adjacent to James Herriot Country and the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, Elmfield House is situated between Middleham, the horse racing centre of Yorkshire; the bustling market towns of Leyburn, Bedale, Richmond and Thirsk; and Masham, the beer brewing capital of Yorkshire.
Wind down in the evening with a drink from the selection of wines and beers, or take a walk to the lake and woodland to see the wildlife and immerse yourself in the tranquillity that is the hallmark of staying here. You can say hello to the friendly horses, sheep and hens on the way.
Run by the Towning family, Elmfield boasts excellent accommodation with a 4-diamond and Silver Award from the English Tourist Board and a badge of merit for its breakfast from Deliciously Yorkshire, the organisation that supports local food produce in the region.
