About this property
The magnificent Grade I listed Broughton Hall is a phenomenal period property, absolutely perfect for special celebrations, family gatherings and corporate retreats. Set within a spectacular 2,500-acre estate in Yorkshire, the hall offers ancient woodland, formal gardens, moorland, reservoirs, walking trails and exceptional leisure facilities including a tennis court, swimming pool, gym and luxury wellness centre. Established in 1097 and home to the Tempest family for over nine hundred years, the estate is now known as Broughton Sanctuary, a regenerative space rooted in wellbeing, nature and sustainability. Broughton Hall itself sleeps up to thirty-two guests across seventeen lavish bedrooms, with additional cottages available across the estate for larger groups.
Rich in history, character and opulent décor, the hall offers magnificent entertaining spaces including elegant drawing rooms, a formal dining room, library, conservatory, gallery and billiards room, all beautifully furnished with period antiques, chandeliers, oil paintings and roaring open fires. The grand bedrooms feature sumptuous four-poster beds, luxurious fabrics and a mix of ensuite and family bathrooms.
Guests enjoy outstanding hospitality with a dedicated house manager, private chefs and a huge range of experiences including catered picnics, woodland dining, wild swimming, forest therapy, foraging, mountain biking and wellness retreats at Avalon. Utopia, the estate’s striking contemporary venue designed by Sir Michael Hopkins, provides additional event space and a stylish bistro for relaxed breakfasts and lunches.
Broughton Hall enjoys a spectacular setting within a 2,500-acre Yorkshire estate less than ten minutes from Skipton, the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales. Rich in history and surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, Skipton is known for its impressive medieval castle, romantic priory ruins and charming cobbled High Street lined with independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs. The town’s historic streets, waterways and woodland walks are connected by the popular Millennium Walk route, making it a wonderful place to explore at a relaxed pace.
The beautiful Bolton Abbey Estate is also close by, famous for its riverside priory ruins, scenic picnic spots and iconic stepping stones across the River Wharfe. Walkers will love exploring the Yorkshire Dales, including the Valley of Desolation, Barden Fell and Simon’s Seat, where panoramic views stretch for miles. Strid Wood offers peaceful riverside trails filled with bluebells, wild garlic and wildlife including otters and kingfishers. Nearby attractions also include the stunning Parcevall Hall Gardens and the historic city of York, where visitors can enjoy excellent shopping, acclaimed restaurants and famous landmarks including York Minster and the city’s medieval walls.
