2 Night Christmas Breaks Yorkshire

Name: Middle House
Address: Main Street, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, DL8 3HG
Telephone: 01969 650515

Two nights is just the right amount of time to get properly festive in the Yorkshire Dales. It gives you long enough to walk the frosty fells, linger over a hearty dinner and sit by the fire with a drink, without taking a full week off work. At The Middle House in Askrigg, we would love to welcome you for a short Christmas break in the heart of Wensleydale.

Why Spend Two Nights in Askrigg this Christmas?From Middle House

Askrigg is a proper Dales village, with cobbled streets, stone cottages and wide views across the valley. Fans of All Creatures Great and Small will recognise it straight away, as the BBC filmed the original series here. Our hotel sits in the middle of Main Street, with walking routes right on the doorstep.

Two nights gives you a full day in between to explore. Aysgarth Falls is a 9 minute drive away, and the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes is around 10 minutes.

Your Room for the Festive Season

We have 12 en-suite bedrooms with a mix of twin, double and king rooms, each decorated in a warm country style with a bath and shower. Some keep original features of our 19th century building, and large Victorian windows look out over the winter countryside.

Bringing your dog? We have a limited number of dog friendly rooms, so please email us before booking to check availability. A £25 pet charge applies.

Festive Food and Drink

Our kitchen cooks traditional Yorkshire food with produce from local suppliers, including meat from Hammond's of Bainbridge and vegetables and eggs from Carrick's of Bedale. Through December, we serve a festive menu of hearty winter dishes and indulgent puddings. Dinner runs from 5:30pm to 8pm, and we recommend booking your table when you reserve your room. Gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options are available.

In the bar, you will find Wensleydale cask ales brewed just down the road in Leyburn, along with a fire to warm up after a cold walk.

Staying Over Christmas Itself

If your two nights fall on the 24th, 25th or 26th of December, stays on those dates are room only. There is no breakfast and food and bar service is limited, so our team can enjoy some of Christmas with their own families. On every other night of the season, a full Yorkshire breakfast is included.
