Leyburn Manor

Leyburn, Kirkgate, North Yorkshire

Located in Leyburn, North Yorkshire, this exquisite 18th-century Georgian manor offers a luxurious escape reminiscent of a miniature “Downton Abbey.” With accommodations for up to 26 guests across 13 elegantly furnished bedrooms, the manor boasts spacious rooms adorned with antiques and high-quality linens, creating an atmosphere of grandeur. Guests are welcomed by a housekeeper who assists with settling in and provides insights into local attractions, including the manor's own three acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.

The manor is designed for entertaining, featuring a traditional dining room that comfortably seats 18, complete with a fireplace and family portraits that add to its charm. Guests can also enjoy leisure activities in the billiards room, which is bathed in natural light from tall windows and a roof lantern. For a more relaxed setting, the drawing room offers a cozy space for tea, with arched windows framing views of the gardens. The luxurious bedrooms feature Super king and Emperor-size beds, feather pillows, and plush bedding, ensuring a restful stay.

Just a short distance away, the quaint town of Middleham, steeped in history since Roman times, provides access to local amenities, including a pub located just 1 km from the manor. The town is home to the impressive Middleham Castle, a roofless ruin surrounded by picturesque farmland, and is known for its connections to Richard III. Additionally, the nearby Dales National Park and Aysgarth Falls, only a 15-minute drive away, offer stunning natural landscapes for outdoor enthusiasts.

Middleham, once dubbed ‘the Windsor of the North,’ features a charming market square, parish church, and a variety of local pubs and restaurants. The village thrives on the breeding and training of racehorses, with several renowned racing stables in the vicinity. While guests in groups of 20 or fewer will have access to 10 bedrooms in the Main House, booking at maximum capacity is necessary for full access to the entire home, including the new West Wing.
