Earl Grey in The Summer House Arbour Hill Patrick Brompton, Bedale, DL8 1JX

About Earl Grey

Earl Grey is a quirky one-bedroom lodge tucked away in a slow-paced Yorkshire Dales village in Wensleydale. This 5-star retreat offers a perfect escape for two with its elegant character and historic features carefully preserved. The wood-fired hot tub is just one reason why this accommodation stands out from the crowd.

Set within a larger estate in beautiful Bedale, this property gives you the best of Yorkshire life without the tourist crowds. Public footpaths start right at your doorstep, leading into the stunning countryside that makes the Dales famous. The peaceful setting lets you properly switch off - though you might want to switch on that hot tub instead!

The accommodation features a compact kitchen with breakfast bar, all the cooking essentials and a plush bedroom with a Juliet balcony overlooking formal parterre gardens. The luxurious wet room is built for two with underfloor heating and a monsoon shower that'll make you both very happy indeed (wink wink).

Nearby attractions include Aysgarth Falls (15 miles, 25 minutes), Bolton Castle (12 miles, 20 minutes) and the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales National Park right on your doorstep. The village of Bedale offers shops and local pubs just a short drive away.

Perfect for couples seeking a romantic break. Previous guests loved the freshly baked bread and eggs waiting on arrival. Earl Grey is the ideal spot to sip something stronger while soaking in that hot tub under the stars.

Amelia Grace

We ended up staying here unexpectedly after our original booking fell throughand honestly, it turned out to be a lovely surprise! The cottage and its surroundings are really picturesque, perfect for a relaxing break. The hot tub was great, especially since it's a decent size. Just a heads up, the water tank is small, so showers can get chilly. The host was super friendlyand we appreciated the free bread, butterand eggs. Only downside was the outside light near the hot tub didn't workand the sink was a bit tricky to use, but overall, a lovely stay!

Alex Morgan

Really enjoyed staying here, beautiful location, great facilitiesand the hosts were super helpful too!

Andrew

We really enjoyed our stay; it was just what we needed. The location was peaceful, though a nearby pub or cafe would have been perfect. Still, a lovely, relaxing break overall.

Emma S.

Really enjoyed

Mark

We had a fantastic anniversary weekend-really cosy, peacefuland just what we needed!

James

Lovely stay with friendly owners, highly recommend this place!

Chloe

We really enjoyed our stay and New Year at the summer house. It was the perfect way to see in 2023. The hot tub was faband we definitely recommend the drop and dip service to have it ready and warm on your first night - we didn't take advantage of it, but we'd definitely do it next time. If you sit still, the light goes outand you can just gaze at the stars. The accommodation was wonderful and incredibly well laid out, plus the bed was really cosy and comfy too. Highly recommended!

Sam

The owners and admin staff are just brilliant. They are really kind and always ready to help us out!

Lucy

This was our third time coming here and we had a fantastic week! We'd definitely recommend it! Planning to visit again soon.

Clara

Beautifully presented, with the most scenic settings. The cottage itself was a dream, with great facilities! Karl was really attentive and the bread, jam and fresh eggs were a brilliant touch.

Tom

We had an absolutely superb weekendand the cottage and surroundings were just beautiful! The renovation is done to a pristine level. It's really quaint, quiet, cleanand perfect for a couple's getaway. The hot tub was lovely. It heated up in no time and kept its warmth really well. Considering the weather, I thought it might be cold at night, but it was so cosy and warm. We enjoyed listening to the wind howling while curled up in bed watching the telly. We would definitely recommend this place and are keen to return. Absolutely beautiful!

Susan

We really enjoyed this place, even though it was smaller than we expected! We'd definitely recommend it for quick getaways and would love to stay there again.

Emma

What a gorgeous cottage and setting! It wasn't the easiest to find, but once we took the track leading to it, it felt like we were leaving the world behind. So quiet and peaceful with stunning views. The cottage was clean and really well thought out for maximum use of space. The kitchen had all sorts of handy appliances and was spotless. The hot tub was private and intimateand Karl was a fantastic host, always accommodating if we needed anything during our stay!

Ben

What a perfect spot for a couple's retreat! It's small but incredibly cosy and really well designed, so you never feel like you're missing out on anything. The tower is just half a mile down a private road to the farm, so the views are stunningand at night, all you can hear are the owls and pheasants.
