The Wensleydale Hotel is a characterful Grade II listed coaching inn in the historic market town of Middleham, Leyburn, in the Yorkshire Dales. Many rooms overlook the market square, with Middleham Castle dominating the skyline, and early risers might even catch racehorses heading up to Middleham Moor. Inside, a cosy reception and bar with a wood burning stove welcomes guests and locals alike, while The Tack Room restaurant serves food amid antique riding paraphernalia celebrating the town's racing heritage. Two of the Double Superior rooms are dog friendly, so your four-legged companion can join the trip. Beyond the hotel, you're well placed to explore the Dales, with The Forbidden Corner just 2.2 miles away and Richmond Castle Museum and the Bird of Prey and Mammal Centre both around 8.5 miles from the door.
