Alfresco Dining
For a truly unforgettable experience, entertain your guests with an Alfresco Dining experience. We have the Deerhouse in the parkland, just a short walk or drive from the hotel, with views over the turret and surrounding countryside, or one of our moorland Bothy Huts, providing breathtaking views of the Yorkshire Dales.
You can choose between a picnic or a barbeque meal at the Deerhouse, and a picnic at a Bothy Hut. There is hire fee for the use of the venue, including staffing and set up, with additional menu cost. Please see the Deerhouse or Bothy Hut pages for more information.

Thank goodness the sun has now come out and we seem to have finally put winter behind us! The Parkland has burst into bloom with clouds of blossom and a colourful carpet of daffodils and bluebells around the trees.
The Walled Garden is also getting going, with bright tulips swaying in the breeze and home grown asparagus bursting forth. Asparagus is at its most delicious when eaten closest to home, so dishes featuring home-grown asparagus are now on all our menus, including the bar and lounge. The garden furniture is out and soon it will be time for afternoon teas on the lawn and evening drinks on the terrace at sunset. English summertime at it’s best.
