Great check-in experience

Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Set as part of Back O’ Th’ Hill Farm at Bolton Abbey this bolthole is a true place of rest and refuge; an escape from everyday life.
Get cozy in front of the log burner and feel a bit of Game of Thrones meets Vim Hof and settle into this rustic space. The photos speak for themselves….

The space
*** Please note this is not 'just another hotel room' but more of an experience/adventure***
Staying in a former calf pen, the space has been repurposed as part of the wider plan to bring the farm back to life, by stripping back and improving the space with things like a log burner and new loft ladder. The space is arranged over ground and first floor.
It’s an amazing experience of heat from the log burner yet with the fresh air from the open shutter (no window). With a hygge vibe, the space and location make you feel like you’ve been on holiday in Norway (in my opinion). I hope you will agree!
The accommodation is rustic and that’s a large part of its charm. The room isn’t insulated and the temperature will vary depending on the outside weather conditions and temperature. The room has electric blankets are available by request for an additional fee.
We believe that staying here is a true experience and not just another room. We do have other types of accommodation available, so please click on my profile to find out more. We can provide logs for the log burner (£15 charge) or you are welcome to bring your own.

Guest access
Guests will have the privacy of their own room BUT you should be aware that the accommodation is not en-suite. The toilet is next door in the cafe (dry robes provided if you need a wee in the night) and we now have a new shower and toliet area in the Old Creamery with lots of hot water.

Other things to note
We aim to create a chilled, intimate and tranquil vibe.

Regarding WiFi via a Starlink system, but service struggles to reach the rooms due to the thickness of the walls.

Neighbourhood highlights

Back O’Th’ Hill Farm is located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in the centre of the Bolton Abbey and Devonshire Estate, only 10 minutes from the Priory and a short walk from the Valley Of Desolation which has a beautiful waterfall. The location at the heart of a historic working estate does mean that well behaved dogs are welcome, but please be advised that the Estate’s moorland – other than some limited bridleways on the west moor above Embsay – have a specific exclusion for dogs, including on leads. This is due to the moors’ status as an SSSI and SPA. Accordingly, we ask our well behaved dog owners/walkers to respect this, especially for the waterfall area. If you have a dog and would like to visit the waterfall, we ask that you make safe arrangements to keep your dog with us by prior arrangement. Thank you.
