Newly Renovated Georgian Manor in the Yorkshire Dales – Sleeps 18

Whernside Manor is one of the finest historic houses in the Yorkshire Dales, now available for exclusive hire following a multi-million-pound renovation. Located in Dentdale at the foot of Whernside and bordered by the famous Dales Way walking trail, this grand residence sleeps up to 18 guests and lends itself perfectly to celebrations, family holidays and special occasions. Film fans may recognise the house as the shooting location for the Brontë Parsonage in Frances O'Connor's 2022 biopic Emily, starring Emma Mackey.

Spanning over 6,000 square feet, the manor offers a seamless blend of historic grandeur and modern luxury, including gigabit fibre WiFi throughout the house. Gather for memorable meals in the formal dining room, or enjoy relaxed breakfasts in the bright kitchen-diner. The ground floor boasts multiple distinct living areas, including a grand formal drawing room, a casual family sitting room for relaxing, a quiet study/library, a convenient guest cloakroom and a wine cellar where guests can store their own collection during their stay.

The thoughtful layout offers total privacy for adults alongside enchanting spaces for children:

• The Master Suite: a private sanctuary featuring a super-king bed, a dedicated dressing room, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom.
• Super-King Suites: two further beautifully appointed bedrooms featuring super-king beds, each with its own ensuite bathroom.
• The Nursery Suite: a delightful twin bedroom complete with its own dedicated bathroom, ideal for younger children.
• The Top Floor Retreat: a magnificent space perfect for an extended family. It includes a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed and a massive dormitory ideal for up to eight children. The dormitory offers a wonderful play area stocked with bookshelves and games, all serviced by an additional large family bathroom.

Travelling with young children is made easy, too: the house comes equipped with two full-size cots, a range of toys, bath seats and more, all available for guest use throughout the stay.

Step outside into a completely private haven. A large, walled courtyard serves as the ultimate outdoor entertaining space, complete with a BBQ area and a fire pit for evening gatherings. Beyond the courtyard, guests are free to explore almost five acres of private lawns, wild fells, and mature woodland, offering an idyllic and secure backdrop for children to play and families to unwind.

Guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire 6,000-square-foot manor and its five acres of grounds. Located in dramatic Yorkshire Dales 35 minutes' drive from Kendal and Oxenholme Station (on the London-Glasgow mainline), the property offers direct access to world-class walking, cycling, and pristine countryside, while remaining within easy reach of charming local villages such as Hawes, Sedbergh and Ingleton. Whernside Manor is a five-minute drive from Dent Station, the highest railway station in England, giving convenient access to Leeds via the famous Ribblehead Viaduct.
