Welcome to The Old Vicarage

A warm welcome awaits you at The Old Vicarage, Swaledale – a truly amazing self-catering experience tucked away on the outskirts of Richmond with spacious 5-bedroomed accommodation and extensive unrivalled views.

Fully refurbished and enjoying awe-inspiring views over Swaledale and the River Swale, The Old Vicarage is a unique property offering light and space in a traditional farmhouse-style home, amid miles of some of the most beautiful open countryside Britain has to offer. Perched on its own, high on the side of the valley, the house is easily accessible by road and track while still being totally secluded.  

Your stay with us guarantees all the usual mod cons and total comfort but with the added bonus of pure freedom and escapism. Since taking ownership of The Old Vicarage in June 2009, we’ve been working hard to breathe new life into this beautifully positioned property. As well as redecorating throughout and furnishing with a mixture of traditional and contemporary pieces, we’ve added a number of features for guests, including sitting-out areas to catch the views from sunrise to sunset – the perfect spot to barbeque, or to simply relax and take in the impressive scenery.

Better still, we are also offering use of private leisure facilities which include an excellent indoor pool, Jacuzzi, state-of-the-art gymnasium, sauna and steam room. We also invite guests to take advantage of our private fishing rights and river frontage, just a few fields from the house.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Old Vicarage soon. It will be an experience you’ll never forget!
