The perfect base for English country sport and leisure
Fishing, walking, shooting, racing - experience the simple pleasures of the Yorkshire Dales from one of only three Best Loved Hotels in the region, a welcoming 18th-century coaching inn made even better by an extensive yet...More About Blue Lion sympathetic renovation.Wensleydale may be famous the world over for its deliciously crumbly cheese, but a stay at the The Blue Lion in East Witton will reveal a host of additional local treasures, whether culinary, equine or pedestrian! The historic ruins of Jervaulx Abbey are certainly worth a visit; Catterick, Wetherby, Ripon and York race tracks are all within an hour's drive, and the nearby town of Middleham is making its name as the 'Newmarket of the North'. For those with outdoors inclinations, other activities available include golf, tennis and pony trekking. Upon your return from an evening stroll along the riverbank - or, if you prefer, a taxing 10-mile challenge hike - you may decide to put up your aching feet and order dinner at the hotel. If so, you can choose the flag-stoned bar, with its open fire and ample selection of hand-pulled beers, or the warm and inviting restaurant. Either way, local game and fish - all procured from one of three provincial estates - should be available.
Offer: Stay two nights at this wonderful Yorkshire inn and the third night is free (!), available Sunday - Thursday. Dinner to be taken on two of the three nights.
