Yorkshire’s 17th-century country beauty

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Since opening in 2019, Grantley Hall has become one of the U.K.’s most celebrated hotels. On the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this stately 17th-century mansion was originally built as a private residence and has seen many incarnations since.

With fewer than 50 rooms, Grantley Hall ensures an intimate, indulgent stay where luxury, history, nature and gourmet delights collide. Surrounded by 30 acres of landscaped grounds, the country estate is an ideal base for exploring the Dales while offering tranquil spaces to relax, including the opulent Three Graces Spa.

Food lovers will savor the culinary experiences, including hyper-local fine dining at the heralded Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall, contemporary Asian cuisine at Bar & Restaurant EightyEight, and casual yet polished British and European fare at Fletchers. Meanwhile, the sophisticated Norton Bar & Courtyard and garden-inspired Valeria’s Champagne and cocktail bar add tantalizing tipples to the mix.

Our Inspector's Highlights

History and design enthusiasts will appreciate the mansion’s Palladian architecture, featuring graceful symmetry and window designs alongside intricate plasterwork, marble fireplaces and grand chandeliers.
Three Graces Spa offers unparalleled wellness facilities, including an 18-meter indoor pool, an indoor-to-outdoor hydrotherapy pool, a snow room, a sauna and a steam room. Outside, the Nordic Spa Garden features another sauna and two ice baths.
Impeccable service and extras like a playful “robe menu” ensure you feel pampered, while complimentary access to the two-floor ELITE gym, including classes, makes it easier to maintain your fitness regime.
To soak up the area’s natural beauty, take a leisurely stroll through the Yorkshire hotel’s vast grounds, including the historic Japanese Gardens, or venture to the nearby Yorkshire Dales for breathtaking vistas.
With sustainability in mind, Grantley Hall has introduced several eco-friendly measures such as local procurement practices, rooftop solar panels, waste-reduction technologies, and an open-loop water system that supplies the hotel’s hot water and heating.
