Whashton Springs Farmhouse B&B

This place is unreal a real old style farmhouse B & B, set in a stunning location which is so peaceful with rooms over looking the gardens with a large amount of wildlife. The whole place is spotless the rooms are comfortable big beds nice bathrooms and quality bedding and towels, Jane is a fantastic host and very kind and welcoming, the breakfast is for me the highlight real food cooked properly bacon and sausage of the best quality and eggs from their own chickens along with real fried bread was a thing not many places do any more but was fantastic. There is also a good selection of fresh fruit and plenty of tea, coffee and toast can’t wait to return

Jane and Fergus the cat made us feel very welcome at this lovely farmhouse retreat. Perfect spot for walking in the Dales, and plenty of restaurants/ pubs in nearby Richmond to keep us fed and watered of an evening. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. They had no trouble providing gluten- free and dairy-free options for me at breakfast every morning. The room was spacious and very comfortable, and fantastic water pressure in the shower (a personal bugbear for me usually)! On a more prosaic note, there was plenty of guest parking overlooking the chickens and the drive was well signposted from the road, so super easy to find after a long drive up North. Whashton has definitely made it onto our list of preferred stopping off points when we travel this way in future.

We booked this accommodation based on the fabulous reviews and were not disappointed. We had a lovely welcome from Jane and were shown to our courtyard room where we were given the relevant information and left to do our quick turnaround to go into Richmond for dinner. Our room for 2 adults and a child was spacious and extremely comfortable. The place has obviously been carefully restored with guest comfort and pleasing aesthetics in mind whilst retaining the traditional farmhouse style. Breakfast was plentiful and freshly prepared and nothing was too much trouble for Jane and the lovely lady who was waiting on us (sorry we didn’t catch her name). And what a beautiful view from the breakfast room. We would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely visit again if in the area.
