A beautiful place to be away.

Two thoughtfully restored stays in a golden stone farmstead, where the Forest of Bowland, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District are all within reach.

For a weekend away, a wedding nearby, or simply a change of pace.

A sense of place

The road here has always led somewhere.

Our farmstead is described as dating to 1688. Long before today’s escapes, travellers followed the old York to Lancaster road past the inn and across Tatham Bridge, a route marked on John Ogilby’s 1675 map.

Across the River Wenning, the village has medieval roots: Wennington appears in the Domesday Book, and its green once hosted markets and fairs. The railway arrived in the 19th century. The landscape still invites you to linger.
