Skeldale House by Maison Parfaite, an Iconic Building set in the very heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Many of you will have fond memories of Skeldale House from its starring role as the veterinary surgery in the original series of All Creatures Great and Small. And now you can relive those heart-warming scenes of James Herriot and Siegfried Farnon waltzing in, through the fabulous entrance doors, to be greeted by Mrs Hall and a hearty Yorkshire dinner, after another tension filled day of saving livestock, appeasing the locals and trying to stay on the road in that old Austin!
Featuring six gloriously appointed studio suites and one larger apartment, as well as ‘The Surgery’ where guests can take brunch, afternoon tea or dinner served by our private chefs, Skeldale House is THE place to stay whilst exploring all that the Yorkshire Dales has to offer.
Onto the accommodation itself, and you’ll be thrilled by the achingly luxurious décor that greets you as you step through the door. There’s a distinct nod to the 1950’s era with the mid-century styling and ornate detailing. Juxtaposed perfectly with the ultra-slick modernist style kitchens, 58’’ 4K Ultra HD TV’s and sumptuously elegant, comfortable beds and roll top baths, you’ll be able to kick off your hiking boots and wallow in the luxury of it all! As with all Maison Parfaite Properties the attention to detail is second to none.
And we just couldn’t help but to install a fully operational Austin 10 outside the front door – just so that you can take your Instagram pics and get the full All Creatures Great and Small experience from Maison Parfaite.
Askrigg itself is a charming, picture-perfect Dales Village. The whole village was ‘Darrowby’ the fictional town in All Creatures Great and Small, so you’ll find much of it very familiar! One of the three pubs in the village, The Kings Arms, which sits opposite Skeldale House on the main street was The Drovers Arms, where James, Tristan and Siegfried finished many a traumatic shift off with a stiff drink! From Askrigg you can embark on so many walks without the need to drive off to another start point, and the main street is blessed with not only three pubs but also The Bake Well Café and numerous shops. The market town of Hawes is just a short drive or a hike away, and here you can sample the delights of The Creamery where you can try every variety of Wensleydale Cheese known to man!
Skeldale House is the original filming location of All Creatures Great & Small.
The largest Suite at Skeldale House, the Tricky Woo Suite is of course named after Mrs Pumphrey’s over-indulged Pekinese dog, who frequented the surgery many a time! The Tricky Woo Suite is a large one bed apartment with kitchen / diner, large social lounge with a sofa bed, and a fabulous master bedroom with cast iron roll top bath and separate shower room.
