A little touch of the season

We always try to pop some seasonal flowers around The Old Vicarage before our guests arrive.

Where possible, we like to use flowers and foliage from the garden, bringing a little of the season indoors and adding a welcoming touch to the house.

Simple, but we hope it makes arriving at The Old Vicarage feel that little bit more special.

Last chance for a Helwith Tea Garden treat!

Our friends at Helwith Tea Garden are serving their last scones of the season today.

This little hidden gem is much loved by guests and locals alike and makes a great stopping-off point on a number of beautiful walks in the area.

Thanks for all the teas, cream teas and bacon rolls this year! We hope you enjoy a well-earned winter break and look forward to seeing you reopen next spring.

Autumn is beginning to make its presence felt in Swaledale and our Highland cattle look very much at home amongst the meadow grasses.

It’s a lovely time of year here. The landscape is changing, the days are a little cooler and there’s something particularly special about getting out for a walk in the Dales before returning to the warmth of The Old Vicarage.

And, of course, these familiar woolly faces are never too far away!

Meet one of the locals!

Our Highland cattle are very much part of life at The Old Vicarage, and you’ll often spot them grazing in the fields around the house.

They have a pretty special place to call home too, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales.

Fancy an autumn escape? We currently have availability for weeks commencing 18 and 25 September and 2 October.

The Old Vicarage sleeps up to ten guests and is exclusively yours, complete with a 15-metre heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym and games facilities.

Short breaks are also available on request. Contact us directly to discuss dates and availability. Tel: 07704 455854 or email: [email protected]

Love walking? Love books? Richmond has just the festival for you.

The Richmond Walking and Book Festival returns from 18–27 September, bringing together two great ways to enjoy this beautiful part of Yorkshire.

There’s a varied programme of guided walks through Richmond and the surrounding Dales, with routes for different abilities, alongside author talks and book events.

Several of this year’s walks head into Arkengarthdale, pictured here, giving walkers the chance to explore one of Swaledale’s beautiful neighbouring dales.

And if you fancy making a holiday of it, The Old Vicarage makes a lovely base. We currently have availability for the weeks commencing 18 and 25 September, so you can enjoy the festival and still have plenty of time to relax and explore Swaledale at your own pace.

Short breaks are also available on request.

It's wonderful to get positive feedback from guests. Thank you to the Lock family for leaving this lovely review:

"What a wonderful place! The views are spectacular. The house is spacious and feels like home. We have filled every hour and are sad to leave. The facilities at the pool are second to none. Lots of games in the cupboards."

Could September be the perfect time for a Swaledale escape?

The summer crowds begin to disappear, the Dales are a little quieter and there can still be some lovely days for getting out and exploring.

We have good September availability at The Old Vicarage, with weeks commencing 11, 18 and 25 September currently free.

Sleeping up to ten guests, the house is exclusively yours, along with our heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, gym and games facilities. And, of course, you have beautiful Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales right on the doorstep.

Short breaks are also available on request. Please contact us on 07704 455854 or email: [email protected]

It’s Sourdough September!

Organised by the The Real Bread Campaign, Sourdough September is a month-long celebration of genuine sourdough – and we know just the place to enjoy some here in Swaledale.

Just a short drive from The Old Vicarage, Two Dales Bakery in Reeth produces some wonderful artisan bread, including its memorable sourdough, baked in its own on-site bakehouse. Delicious!!

It’s also a lovely place to stop for coffee, breakfast or lunch while exploring Reeth and the surrounding area.

It’s just one of the many independent food businesses that make this part of the Yorkshire Dales such a treat for anyone who enjoys good honest food.
