Probably my favourite review ever!

written by the wonderful Benjamin hall on behalf of his family.

We would like to thank Ben for his kind words and hope to see him again real soon!

Nothing to with our holiday let! This is Ted, our rescue dog and we love the very bones of him.

This was taken on one of the walks between masham and Ripon, underneath the snow are the ruins of a medieval village that was affected by the plague.

We often get really good snow in January and February- enough to sledge and sometimes ski in!

This is one of my favourite things in the house. We found it when we were renovating - up in the attic . It's thought to be WW1 hospital art and features the West Yorkshire Insignia. Just outside of Masham, up on the moors was the training camp of the Leeds Pals, part of this regiment. They set off for France and were utterly decimated. We believe this was done by a recouping veteran.

Sheep of Instagram?

Here's a delightful Swaledale I met whilst out walking the other week. This breed are known for their hardy natures, course fleece, black and white faces and those horns.

Masham is famous for its sheep fair and you'll find no shortage of them if you explore the footpaths and bridle ways around the town.

This is my favourite!
Swinton Hotel, Spa and Country club is a five minute drive/ ten minute walk from the house and it is out of this world!

Spa days are great- champagne in the hot tubs? Lie under heated sheepskin throws? press the bell for drinks and food? a few different hot and steam experiences.. world class products and services. If you fancy a treat- this is well worth it.

If you know, you know and if you don't, let me give you a quick run down. Masham has historically grown up and sheep farming, when wool was a valuable commodity Masham thrived on it. The monks of nearby Fountains abbey owned much of the surrounding lands and farmers etc would bring their sheep off the hills to masham market to trade and show off their wares.

This ancient tradition still continues and it's a rarity to see so many sheep in such a traditional setting, shown with such pride.

Never fear, its not just sheep, its a huge celebration, one of masham's biggest. expect special beers, shearing shows, sheep races, stalls, fun fairs, food galore and of course, hundreds of breeds of sheep.
It's on the 25th September this year and it's well worth a visit to enjoy a true Yorkshire day out!

Get in touch if you would like to stay with us - check out our reviews if you need convincing further.

Ok, so we absolutely love steam trains. There's something wonderful about their speed, the sounds, the smell- and this one is a really special one!

There are a few options if you want to do this whilst you stay with us. If you want to push to boat out - the Northern Belle is amazing and does a variety of journeys through Yorkshire including this one.

The Dalesman is equally good but a bit more pocket friendly, if you select first class you cant bring your own hamper !

To stay with us or ask us about things to do in the area - just get in touch on [email protected] and we will try our absolute best to help your stay be as memorable as it can be.

Fancy it?
This was last year, a short drive from the house, armed with plastic sledges and lots of layers!!
We came back home minus one sledge and a rip in someones pants !

We would love to guarantee weather like this for you- and the house has such a huge open fire that will get you feeling toasty in no time.

If you fancy seeing what Nidderdale has to offer and want a house that you can swing a number of cats in- get in touch. We have some availability for February and March.

With Christmas over, we are busy planning our Spring and Summer season. We have lots of wonderful wedding guests booked with us, lots of wonderful families who return every year and first timers who are yet to discover Masham's charms - and two breweries!
We accept dogs - because, lets face it. If you are surrounded by the stunning, rolling Yorkshire Dales , there's no better companion to share it with than your dog.

We have some last minute availability through January and February - get in touch if you fancy some fresh air, a roaring log fires and great Yorkshire food!

What's not to love!! World Cheese day :)

We are super lucky to be right on the edge of Wensleydale - most of the Dales have their own cheese. We haven't found a Nidderdale cheese yet but here's hoping.

This is taken on one of our walks near Masham./ What you cant see in this picture is just up ahead are a herd of deer... and down to the left is a lake with a pair of swans gliding... and it's silent, the silence that comes with heavy snowfall.

We cant guarantee the snow, but we can guarantee a warm welcome at Number 29, Masham, filled with roaring log fires and Georgian splendour.

Number Twenty Nine has had a varied and interesting history. This picture dates to the First World War when the house was operating as a Post Office and delivering those dreaded telegrams.

Thankfully, it's now been restored back to its former glory and is available to welcome you and your guests.

We love it when our guests have a great time . It's pretty chilly in Masham at the moment but the dales are still stunning, the open fire all the more welcome and the good Yorkshire fair all the tastier. Get in touch if we can help you with your stay in Masham.

The Visitor Centre in Masham reopens today and following the lifting of restrictions on Monday, we've changed a few things 👇

😷 MASKS: We continue to encourage all customers to wear masks when walking through the Visitor Centre. Our staff will continue to wear them in an effort to protect our customers and our team.

📱 NHS T&T: We will continue to have QR codes on site and available to scan with the NHS Covid app. We'd encourage everyone to sign in. Hand sanitising stations will remain in place.

🍻 VERTICAL DRINKING: We will be allowing vertical drinking (no sitting down required) although we won't allow this at the bar.

⛺️ OUTDOOR SERVICE: We have a great outdoor area for those who would prefer to sit outside - including a new stretch tent!

🍺 TABLE SERVICE: We will continue offering table service in addition to bar service.

No brewery tours will be available at the moment we're afraid but our food and drink offering will remain.

Thank you for all your support and cooperation over the last few weeks/months and we hope to be able to offer a completely normal service very soon.
