About this property

Offering delightful, character accommodation dating back to the 1860s, Burton House is a charming, end of terrace house in the heart of the pretty village of Burton-in-Lonsdale in North Yorkshire. Approaching the traditional village house visitors are immediately captivated by the charm and character of the house with traditional features throughout reminding guests of the history of the property. These include original wood flooring, feature fireplaces, sash windows, wooden beams and traditional stone walls, which all add up to create a really authentic and inviting ambience. Step into the welcoming sitting room and you can imagine yourself curling up on the sofa here in front of the attractive woodburning stove and catching up with fellow guests and getting into the holiday spirit. The gorgeous kitchen/diner is a really inviting space where cooking up a culinary feast for the holiday party is a pleasure and guests can choose from an informal meal in the kitchen, or if you want to make an occasion of it and host a dinner party, try out the dining room which is all set up ready for long, lazy meals. You could open up the patio doors and enjoy some time alfresco, eating and drinking in the lush patio gardens, somewhere you can look forward to socialising and entertaining, should the weather allow. Additional spaces in the house include an office/snug, which is perfect if you need to catch up on any work during your break (not too much though – you’re on holiday after all!) and a delightful basement games room, an ideal area for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. After a tiring day out and about exploring, you’ll be tired and with a fantastic choice of rooms, there will definitely be one to suit. Take your pick from the top-floor king-size bedroom with en-suite, a king-size or twin on the first-floor and for the kids, a cool bunk bedroom. All offer a stylish and relaxing sanctuary, just perfect for resting weary heads at the end of the day. Waking up in the morning, and after a refreshing shower or soak in the bath (there’s plenty to choose from!), you’re already in the best location for discovering the delights of the local area. Take a stroll into Burton-in-Lonsdale, an enchanting hillside village which is a great place for stocking up on holiday essentials and stopping off for a refreshing pint. This is a walker’s paradise with the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, all nearby offering plenty of opportunities for walks, hikes and rambles and some breath-taking views along the way. Family days out a short drive away, include Lakeland Maze Farm Park and Lakeland Wildlife Oasis and other attractions worth visiting is Leighton Hall. A stay at Burton House promises character accommodation finished to an impeccably high standard in a fantastic location close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

The pretty village of Burton in Lonsdale is tucked into the hillside above the lovely River Greta. Its impressive 19th Century church spire is visible from miles around and evidence of Burton Castle can still be seen nearby. In the 18th and 19th Centuries, the village was renowned for its 13 potteries, which formed a vital part of local life. Two potteries, which welcome visitors, still continue the tradition in the nearby villages of Bentham and Ingleton. Burton in Lonsdale offers a shop with a post office counter, and also a welcoming pub. There are several 'undiscovered' quiet walks around the village and more popular walks such as the Three Peaks and Ingleton Waterfalls Walk within easy reach. Places of interest close by include Kirkby Lonsdale, Ingleton and Settle, while this is also an ideal base for exploring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.

    It is a beautifully renovation property with fantastic attention to detail. The beds are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped . Burton House is extremely spacious and is situated in a great location for exploring the area. We loved it so much, we have already booked to return next year. Thank you Fiona for your rapid response to any queries that we had.

  • Mark

    The house is extremely spacious and blends old and new seamlessly (attention to detail is incredible). The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are 5 star. Perfectly situated for easy trips out and there is a great village shop which seems to have everything you could ever need across the road. Full marks to the owners, this place is a gem and we'll be back.
