Earl Grey, Yorkshire

Earl Grey is a quirky one-bedroom lodge tucked away in a slow-paced Yorkshire Dales village in Wensleydale. This 5-star retreat offers a perfect escape for two with its elegant character and historic features carefully preserved. The wood-fired hot tub is just one reason why this place stands out from the crowd.

Set within a larger estate in beautiful Bedale, this property gives you the best of Yorkshire life without the tourist crowds. Public footpaths start right at your doorstep, leading into the stunning countryside that makes the Dales famous. The peaceful setting lets you properly switch off - though you might want to switch on that hot tub instead!

The accommodation features a compact kitchen with breakfast bar, all the cooking essentials and a plush bedroom with a Juliet balcony overlooking formal parterre gardens. The luxurious wet room is built for two with underfloor heating and a monsoon shower that'll make you both very happy indeed (wink wink).

Nearby attractions include Aysgarth Falls (15 miles, 25 minutes), Bolton Castle (12 miles, 20 minutes) and the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park right on your doorstep. The village of Bedale offers shops and local pubs just a short drive away.

Perfect for couples seeking a romantic break. Previous guests loved the freshly baked bread and eggs waiting on arrival. Earl Grey is the ideal spot to sip something stronger while soaking in that hot tub under the stars.
