An Edwardian Country House
in Wensleydale

Heather Cottage B&B in Aysgarth, Yorkshire Dales National Park is, despite the title, an Edwardian country gentleman's residence which has been substantially renovated and restored over the past few years. It now offers superb bed and breakfast (B and B) accommodation and occupies a position in Aysgarth with spectacular views over  Wensleydale  and the much photographed Lady Hill.

The Guest house is full of interesting antiques and the halls are oak panelled with oak floors and stained glass windows in the the fashion of the arts and crafts period.

The house offers 2 fully en-suite Bed and Breakfast (B&B) rooms arranged for your comfort and convenience, for which we have just been awarded a 4-star with silver award rating.  Rooms are equipped with TV, DVD player, Tea and coffee making facilities with fridge to keep your drinks cool. There are a selection of freely available DVD films and CD music discs for your entertainment.

The Aysgarth Edwardian Alpine Rock Garden, which both B&B rooms overlook, is one of the few examples of a Backhouse rock garden which remain in the UK. Built in the early part of the 20th century this Yorkshire Dales garden is visited and admired by many thousands of alpine gardeners each year and has recently been the subject of magazine articles and Television programmes which charted its restoration and re-planting. It is open to the public and we can offer organised tours by arrangement. For the alpine gardening enthusiast a stay at Heather cottage is a must!

2006 will see the opening of the specialist Yorkshire Dales Alpine and Fern nursery where plants, which can be seen in the Aysgarth Rock Garden, are propagated and will also be available for sale. Complementing the garden and nursery is a range of Mosaic crafted garden-ware, tables and ornaments and a fascinating range of mosaic backsplash designs to add a focal point to the wall behind an Aga or kitchen range..

We also offer an Upholstery service. Angela is a fully qualified Upholsterer and many of the items of furniture in the house have been re-upholstered and brought back to their former glory by Angela. If you have a tired and sad piece of furniture - why not have it rejuvenated here?
