| WELCOME Thornton Lodge is a luxurious country house set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This beautiful sandstone property was built in 1909 as the summer home of a wealthy cotton baron and today provides a genteel retreat amid fine period features and antiques. Home to the Kilvington family since 2004, we have undertaken a major restoration project and have striven to return the property to the elegance of the Edwardian era. |  |
 | Bespoke carpeting was sourced for the lounge, conservatory and magnificent staircase, whilst the oak flooring in the entrance hallway was restored to its original splendour to complement the setting. Externally, Thornton Lodge is set within three acres of formal grounds, with magnificent mature trees flanking the boundaries and lawned gardens stretching into views of the surrounding hills. A private gate gives access onto our land surrounding the property, where a gentle climb up the hillside is rewarded by one of the best views imaginable. The magnificent oak panelled staircase in the entrance hall has been complemented by a beautiful stair runner and brass rods, whilst the oak flooring is once again laid bare, as intended in 1909. |
| ROOMS Thornton Lodge has 9 individually themed rooms. Tastefully decorated in keeping with the Edwardian era, we have furnished the rooms with period wardrobes and dressing tables, blending these antiques with modern sofas from which to watch TV in comfort.   The room pictured above, with its luxuriously appointed Heritage Bathroom is one of our family suites, also available as a double. |
| This suite is our wheelchair accessible room. Again, antiques blend with modern touches, including an ultra modern wheelchair accessible bathroom, incorporating a large accessible shower tray. |  |
| DINING Breakfast-that all important start to the day, served in the elegant surroundings of our beautiful oak panelled dining room. We serve fresh fruit, juices, yoghurts, cereals and our hearty cooked breakfast. Packed lunches are available upon request- made up to individual requirements, guests are asked to order these the day before they are required so that ingredients can be bought. Evening meals are available by prior arrangement. My specialty is Wensleydale beef, roasted, with Yorkshire puddings and seasonal vegetables. We also serve the most delicious Wensleydale lamb roasts. As a lighter alternative, we offer marvellous Yorkshire ham, home cooked by our local butcher, and served with new potatoes and salad. Other dishes can be prepared upon request. We are also more than happy to book guests into any of the many fantastic places available to eat at, in the surrounding villages. |
