Overview

‘Low Penhowe’ is old Yorkshire dialect for ‘the sheep pen on a hill’. Today, the house has been described as “a very elegant home” by the English Tourist Council, which has awarded owners Philippa and Christopher Turner the Council’s 5 Diamonds and the Gold award for their outstanding Yorkshire B&B.

A traditional Yorkshire stone-built farmhouse, with stunning views overlooking the Howardian Hills and across to the North Yorkshire Moors, the house makes an idyllic spot for a quiet few nights away.

Low Penhowe is also the perfect location for anyone wishing to enter into the hustle and bustle of York, while enjoying the peace and tranquillity of rural England.

From Low Penhowe our guests are easily able to explore the countryside, including the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and Yorkshire Wolds. The market towns of Malton, Pickering and Helmsley are all close at hand, while stately homes including Castle Howard, Duncombe Park and Nunnington Hall are on the doorstep. Our guests have enjoyed many happy visits to the wealth of old castles and abbeys that form part of Yorkshire’s rich local history.

We pride ourselves on the excellence of our aga cooked breakfasts, offering a variety of local and homemade produce. Enjoy a selection of our own free-range eggs, locally cured bacon, black pudding from our butcher, homemade marmalade, home baked bread and honey from the bees at the adjoining farm.

We are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out within easy reach of Low Penhowe. There are 4 excellent pubs, all within 3 miles! The Stonetrough Inn at Kirkham, recommended in “The Good Pub Guide”, is a country inn that offers the ideal combination of traditional pub and elegant restaurant, as does the Blacksmiths Inn at Westow, which has recently been completely renovated and also mentioned in the “The Good Pub Guide”. The Bay Horse at Burythorpe and The Jolly Farmers at Leavening are both good local pubs that have varied menus and the friendly welcoming atmosphere typical to North Yorkshire.

Amenities & services

Low Penhowe may not always be easy to find – a long search on the internet for the perfect place, then a long journey at the end of a long and windy road…..but sooooo worth the effort! This is the end of our UK holiday as we head back to New York tomorrow to the hustle and bustle. This (despite the weather) was the end to our Yorkshire jaunt. Thank you for providing such a lovely welcoming environment, beautiful rooms and fabulous hospitality. We will definitely recommend you to others who are travelling to these parts. Five Stars? Nah six! Thanks a million
