Elmfield house was originally a gamekeeper's cottage attached to the Duke of Leeds' estate in the heart of Wensleydale.

Since then it has grown significantly from a small cottage to a modern country guesthouse with four double rooms, each with en suite facilities.

The property offers fantastic views over the Dale towards Middleham and Leyburn in the west and the North Yorkshire Moors in the east. The calm surroundings combined with comfortable beds, plenty of fresh air and good company all make for a relaxing holiday break.

After a good night's sleep you can look forward to a hearty Yorkshire breakfast made from the best local produce available. Elmfield House also has lovely gardens and many of our guests enjoy a walk down to a fully-stocked fishing lake, enjoying the wildlife from local roe deer to darting kingfishers.  Fishing is available to guests - please ask Emma for further information.

And in the evening, because we are fully licensed, you can enjoy a glass of chilled white wine with your meal or in the garden while to the relaxing sound of birdsong.

We can even arrange for an evening meal from our well-stocked farmhouse kitchen and please ask about our special Thai nights when authentic Thai food is available for guests.
