Nestled in the beautiful village of Askrigg, right in the heart of Wensleydale, Sykes House offers you a relaxing and welcoming place to stay in the stunning Yorkshire Dales. Dating back to around 1687, our historic home sits just opposite the 15th-century St Oswald’s Church and overlooks the charming cobbled market square, complete with its original market cross and water pump.

Sykes House has a rich and varied past, once a family home and even a Temperance Hotel. Today we’re proud to offer two spacious en-suite bed and breakfast rooms along with a traditional village store and gift shop. Whether you’re here to explore, relax or refuel, we’ve created a welcoming spot for all.

Guests love the original character of the house, from the stone spiral staircase and exposed beams to the traditional fireplaces – all carefully preserved during thoughtful renovations.

Both of our B&B rooms are large, bright and comfortable, with private en-suite bathrooms. You’ll find a hospitality tray stocked with tea, coffee, fresh milk and biscuits to make your stay even more special. We also serve a delicious, hearty breakfast each morning to set you up for your day of exploring Wensleydale.

We’re ideally located for walkers and cyclists, with scenic routes in every direction. There’s a large secure covered courtyard perfect for bike storage or repairs – and a handy space to leave wet coats and boots too.

Best of all, we’re just a short stroll from three friendly village pubs, all serving excellent food and local ales.

Whether you’re popping into the shop or staying with us for a few nights, you’ll always receive a warm Yorkshire welcome at Sykes House.
