Description

Although James died in 1869, his company flourished as it became fashionable to create Alpine corners in the grounds of stately homes. The company's best-known construction is a 30ft high replica of the Matterhorn mountain in a garden in Henley - the late Beatle George Harrison was its last owner. There's lots of money out there, lots of grants, but it's quite soul destroying trying to get it. After all, who's going to give money to an individual to do up their garden?" Boasting period features throughout, a woodburning stove and great proximity to a range of attractions, Manor House welcomes up to eight guests to enjoy a peaceful getaway in North Yorkshire.

The hamper, which was left out for us, was such a nice gesture, too. We stayed in the gothic room, and the bed was so comfy! In the homely sitting room, catch up on your favourite shows or relish a movie night on the Smart TV, if you’re seeking some much-needed alone time, an additional wood pannelled snug provides the perfect spot to get lost in a good book as the log burner roars away. The garden was listed in 1988 and since then, its owners have raised the funds to restore the garden it to its former glory. Directions

Features

It's perfectly located to access all that the Dales has to offer and I'd highly recommend a stay here to groups of friends and families alike! Within accessible reach is also Ingleborough Cave, Malham Cove, Kilnsey Park and Scaleber Force Waterfall, all offering an abundance to see and do! The property is beautifully decorated and has absolutely everything you could wish for by way of amenities.

Completing the ground floor is a handy shower room where you can wind down for the day, or beat the queues of a morning. If you begin to feel sleepy, head to the first-floor bathroom to take an indulgent soak in the tub before choosing from one of four charming bedrooms to catch your beauty sleep in, including a king-size with its very own freestanding bath,a king ensuite, a double and a twin. Even at the height of summer, it is always cool in here with the north facing aspect," says Angela. If you can tear yourself away, begin your adventures at Hardraw Force Waterfall, before heading to the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes; here, you will also find plenty of pubs and restaurants so you can refuel before continuing on with your itinerary. On the A684 at the western end of Aysgarth village, about 200 metres before the Thornton Rust turning. Public access during daylight hours. Donations box.

Reviews & Ratings

Locally there must have been a large population of teenage lads with air rifles," says Angela, "because we keep finding decapitated gnomes everywhere." The accommodation was really impressive, we loved the antique furniture and the decor in each room was all so tastefully chosen. The first stage is learning to cope with what we have now got," she says. "I have got to get through a whole year to see how the weeds come up and how the plants survive and to find out how time-consuming it is going to be." John has been so enthusiastic from the start,” said Mrs Anderson. “But it is a big responsibility looking after it all the time. The people in Aysgarth have been so supportive.” Meanwhile, in Aysgarth, Frank Sayer Graham (1859-1946) was making money. He farmed silver fur rabbits in his purpose-built warren at Lady Hill just outside the village. He could kill a rabbit in Aysgarth at 9am and it would arrive, frozen, in London on the 4pm train. From there the fur would go to the great fashion houses of Europe - he is said to have supplied the last tsar of Russia with silver fur for a stole.
