Hanlith Hall

Make wonderful memories of time spent with families and friends in this 17th-century hall set within the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. The historic, stone-built house is steeped in period grandeur and set within a 150-acre estate of rolling parkland, just a mile from the pretty village of Malham.

Sleeping 19 guests across nine bedrooms, and with eight bathrooms, it is perfect for a special celebration, with splendid extras for all to enjoy. Among them is an indoor swimming pool with a sauna, a games room and a hot tub in the lovely garden.

Up to four canine companions are also welcome. A sweeping drive leads to this property, with its mullion windows and impressive period fireplaces.

The grand entrance hall gives you a taste of things to come, with beautiful stained-glass windows and a glittering chandelier. Live to the manner born in splendid, light-filled rooms with open fires in the lounge, dining room and bar room.

There’s a kitchen and breakfast room, while upstairs, the bedrooms range from super-king-size to twins across two floors. Outside, relax in the large, enclosed garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ, or wander along the River Aire as it runs through the parkland.

Discover eateries and country pubs in charming Malham, the starting point for splendid circular walks. Take a 1-mile stroll around the village or a 3-mile route that takes you past scenic landmarks such as the great limestone cliff of Malham Cove, with splendid views from the top, and Janet’s Foss waterfall.

Visit the tranquil glacial lake of atmospheric Malham Tarn (3 miles) and explore the ancient market town of Settle (6.5 miles) with its picturesque, unspoiled buildings and bustling independent shops.
