Relaxing week away from it all

Oughtershaw and Langstrothdale are such peaceful and beautiful places. The Reading Rooms is an idyllic spot right by Oughtershaw Beck and we spent our time just taking it all in. The beds in the house were a big hit with the whole party and along with the weather, contributed to the desire for long lie ins. One of us managed a few trips out on his bike - up and over Fleet Moss, down Langstrothdale to Cray and Buckden, round Beckermonds to Ling Gill and back to the house via the Pennine Bridalway. Otherwise it was short walks to 'Helen's House' at Yockenthwaite, picnics, Tuesday market at Hawes (with the amazing Hawes yarnbombers take on Wallace and Gromit), and the stunning waterfalls of West Burton.

Lovely house. Amazing location.

A holiday with friends. House is well equipped with everything we needed. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. The house was warm and welcoming and the information book was very comprehensive. The views of the sea are breathtaking and we spent many hours on the balcony watching the waves and looking for dolphins but only spotted them briefly once. We will definitely stay again.

A lovely property for an Autumn break

A well appointed property in an excellent location, with coastal walks from the door and a very nice pub serving good food within a couple of hundred yards.

A larger cafetière or perhaps a second one would be useful but other than that we had all that we needed for a lovely Autumn break.

Apart from the coast, visits to Alnwick and Morpeth were very much enjoyed.

Beyond our high expectations!

This beautiful property is just breathtaking, it is so welcoming & enfolds you like a warm hug. It is well equipped & very luxurious from the beautiful linens & towels to the cutlery 7 place mats, everything has been considered and executed very well. Ours was a family stay 5 siblings and partners staying under the same roof for the 1st time in 55 years. There is sufficient space that being together or seeking solace alone is seamless. The pool & sauna leave you feeling like you are at a luxury spa & we were lucky enough to have the weather to make the most of the bbq & patio. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have decided to make an annual event of a spring break together and cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with this jewel of the Yorkshire Dales.

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Excellent venue and customer service. Fabulous Venue!!!

The most amazing weekend!! Oughtershaw is the most stunning venue and we will definitely be back.

All of the rooms are individual and have their own character. Every single person in our group was stunned by how beautiful the hall was, the grounds and the hall are breath taking. Everything was super clean, the beds were really comfy and to have a sauna and a pool was amazing. We were all excited about the weekend and kept looking at the video and pictures, I can honestly say the pictures on the website just don't do it justice. It's more fabulous in reality.

I would also like to say that from my initial contact with Tara and the welcome received from Ben, I could not fault the personal customer service. 5 star if not more!
