ouples holiday destination within the Yorkshire Dales.

🌿 A Gentle Visitor in the Orchard 🌿

Look who wandered in for breakfast this morning! 🦌 This young deer was happily grazing in our orchard, completely unbothered by the world around it — and seemingly unaware of the audience watching from the kitchen window!

One of the best things about staying here in the countryside is sharing the space with our wild neighbours. From curious deer like this one, to rabbits, pheasants, hare and the occasional owl hooting at night, there’s always something magical to spot if you take a quiet moment outdoors.

So if you love a peaceful getaway with a touch of the wild, our little corner of the North Yorkshire countryside might just steal your heart 💚

The veg patch at Arbour Hill is starting to come to life! Rocket & Lettuce plentiful, rest coming along nicely. A few strawberries ripening, but they seem to be devoured when a young child returns from school.

One of our favourite places and a great opportunity to see it in a different light…😉

Celebrate Fountains by Floodlight with an after-dark adventure through the estate from your car...

For those who can't explore Fountains by Floodlight on foot, we're holding a drive through event on Sunday 27 October, from 6pm-8pm. The drive through starts from the Studley Ticket Office, taking you through the estate to finish at the West Gate entrance. If you wind down your windows, you might be able to hear music playing from the Abbey whilst you drive past.

This event is drive through only so you won't be able to leave your car whilst driving through the estate. The water garden won't be lit. You can drive through as many times as you'd like.

Lovely Autumn afternoon and a bit of wild meadow enhancement, with a great new place to sit… all reused materials to make the bench base. Shout out to Matt at Fall Timber for the bench 😁

A great walk to do whilst staying in one of our cottages.

This wonderful high-level walk meanders past a storied ruin and ends at an attractive waterfall in a little-visited pocket of North Yorkshire
