Thornton Lodge Aysgarth: A Retreat of Peace with Views over Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales

Thornton Lodge is a small, charming hotel nestled in the spectacular setting of Wensleydale, near Aysgarth, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It offers an intimate and tranquil stay experience, characterized by a warm welcome and one of the best panoramic views over the surrounding valley.

View Rooms and Country-Inspired Comfort

The rooms are furnished with a mix of traditional style and modern comfort, many of which offer unparalleled views of the Dales' fields and hills. Guests can enjoy a serene atmosphere, with cosy furnishings that evoke the rural setting, ensuring a relaxing and picturesque retreat after exploring the park.

The Tranquil Garden and the Beauty of the Dales

The hotel is surrounded by well-maintained gardens that blend seamlessly with the open landscape. These outdoor spaces provide a perfect spot to sit, read, and enjoy the absolute tranquility and typical silence of the Yorkshire countryside. The garden view is a privileged vantage point on the untouched beauty of the region.

Yorkshire Breakfast and Home-Cooked Cuisine

The dining focuses on serving home-cooked dishes prepared with love, using locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. The traditional Yorkshire breakfast is a highlight, providing the perfect fuel for a day of hiking. Dinners are intimate and reflect the genuine flavours of the region.

Direct Exploration of Aysgarth Falls

Thornton Lodge's location is ideal for hikers and nature lovers. It is a short distance from the famous and spectacular Aysgarth Falls and countless walking trails. This makes the hotel a practical and evocative starting point for fully immersing oneself in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

    • ere are steps into the house and so there are no access points that are step free. I do have ground floor bedrooms but those are presently not available on this platform.



    • Tuesday, 7 April 2026
    • Guests are not allowed to bring their dogs to Thornton Lodge. This includes keeping them in their car overnight as I have my own aging labradoodle and pet hens who all have free range of the grounds and a dog kept in a car once killed my peacock.

    • My king size bedded rooms and 4 posters are on the 1st floor and the delux room is on the ground floor. My accessible room is also on the ground floor but this is only available by booking directly with me and not via the on line platform.

    • All rooms have showers but most are over baths. I only put some of my rooms on ota’s but have my own web site. If you need a walk in shower you really need to speak to me in order to check I can allocate the correct room to you.
