Large groups and celebrations

The Old Vicarage is ideal for those wanting to holiday together and the house is certainly spacious enough to accommodate two or three families or groups of friends.

The combination of double, twin and single bedrooms make for flexible sleeping arrangements and the three bathrooms mean that it is often possible for each group to have their own separate facilities.

The communal rooms are spacious enough for people to be together - for instance everyone can fit around the dining table or sit around in the lounge - but there are also plenty of other quieter areas for people to find their own space.

Use of the adjoining leisure facilities means there are lots of activities on site to suit all ages and energy levels, from the large indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi to the fully-equipped gym, table tennis, table football and outdoor tennis courts. The grounds are excellent for sitting in with a book, enjoying a group barbeque, having a kick around with the kids or just quietly taking in the spectacular views. The private stretch of river that runs just below the house extends this natural 'playground' even further!

Looking outside the parameters of The Old Vicarage, the Yorkshire Dales are also an excellent holiday destination for group holidays, with quite literally something for everyone. There is an abundance of attractions, activities and places to visit which can be explored further on this website.

Something to celebrate?

Many of our guests book The Old Vicarage to celebrate a special event such as a birthday or anniversary.

We can arrange additional services to make your stay extra special, such as professional catering and tailor-made birthday cakes, treatments, bikes and so on. Or how about flower deliveries or champagne on arrival? In the summer months, guests often like to extend the party out of doors and make use of the beautiful gardens.

Wow, wow, wow!! This had everything you can want and so much more to make this a very special weekend for my daughter's 18th. The memories will stay with us all.
