Description - Dating back to 1862, The Old Town Hall was originally built as a Drill Hall for training the Wensleydale Volunteers, as well as hosting village social events. It closed in 1960 and was converted into a single-storey residence. In 2005, the building was remodelled into a Bed & Breakfast and has since undergone extensive renovation to offer high-quality, luxury accommodation.

Ground Floor - The entrance hall provides access to both private living areas and guest accommodation, with a staircase rising to the first floor. The spacious guest sitting room provides dual dining and seating areas and features an appealing open fire. A door separates the guest areas from the private accommodation.

To one side is a home office leading through to the dining kitchen. The kitchen includes fitted cream units, integrated appliances and ample space for a dining table. A large utility room is also located on the ground floor.

The private accommodation is primarily on the ground floor with a sitting room; principal bedroom featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a contemporary bathroom with shower and freestanding bath. A second double bedroom and separate house bathroom complete the private ground-floor layout.

First Floor - The first floor is currently arranged solely for guest use, offering three huge double bedrooms, with exposed beams and vaulted timber ceilings. Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. One particularly spacious suite benefits from its own sitting room and a bathroom with spa bath and walk-in shower. The landing includes two additional bathrooms and a useful storage area.

Outside - The property enjoys an attractive frontage with gravelled seating areas. A gravelled driveway to the side leads to a generous rear parking area suitable for several vehicles. The private rear garden includes lawned and patio areas and features a substantial workshop/garage.

Workshop/Garage - The workshop (429sq ft) features a raised, insulated floor with light and power connected, making it an excellent space for a wide range of uses.

Bed & Breakfast Information - The property is currently run as an award-winning luxury B&B, holding a prestigious AA Hospitality Five Gold Star Rating and named “Best B&B in England” (AA Hospitality Awards 2018/19). After ten successful years, the owners are now looking to retire, presenting an ideal opportunity to take over a well-established business with an excellent reputation and consistent levels of trade and have a perfect lifestyle.

Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the property offers guests a high-quality experience in an ideal location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The layout is highly practical for ongoing B&B use, with private ground-floor owner accommodation, while the first floor provides three well-appointed guest rooms, each designed with comfort in mind. This arrangement ensures the hospitality side of the property is straightforward to manage while retaining privacy for the owners.
