We had a wonderful stay at The Owlery in Aysgarth to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and couldn't recommend it more highly.
The Owlery itself is small but perfectly formed. It is beautifully designed and was immaculately clean during our stay. The bed was comfy and cosy, the shower was strong and hot and it contained everything we possibly needed, including a well equipped kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more.
Our hosts for the weekend were absolutely lovely. They live in the property next door, and were on hand just enough. They gave us lots of tips about the local area, and made sure we knew where they were if we needed anything, but it still felt nice and private. We were lucky enough to have beautiful autumnal weather during our stay, and they were kind enough to let us make use of their garden - we had a lovely time drinking wine and taking in the gorgeous views.
The location is great. It's a part of the world we hadn't visited before, and we thought it was just beautiful. There is a handy pub a minute down the road, and it is in very close proximity to Aysgarth Falls, which makes for a stunning walk. We loved exploring the surrounding areas, and particularly enjoyed our meal at the Aysgarth Falls hotel.
