The Yorkshire Dales’ award-winning hotel, The Coniston Hotel just outside Skipton, is offering British stay-at-home holidaymakers a great “Dales Dash” short break throughout August.
The three night “Dales Dash” short breaks and holidays are ideal options for people who don’t want the hassle of flying abroad, or long-distance continental drives to the south of France, or Spain. And, given the recent heatwave in Britain, they’re proving very popular. The Dales Dash breaks give visitors the chance to stay in one of The Coniston’s en-suite bedrooms, enjoy the 1,400 acre estate on which the hotel is situated, and also visit local attractions, including some which have been featured in the current ITV series “The Dales”.
“Dales Dash” breaks cost from just £126.00 per room (for two people sharing) per night, and include accommodation in a standard room and a Deliciously Yorkshire breakfast. For those who also want to enjoy a lovely dinner in the hotel’s McLeod’s Restaurant, the cost is £178 per couple for Dinner, Bed & Breakfast. And if you’re celebrating a special occasion, you can upgrade to a luxury bedroom overlooking the hotel’s 24-acre lake.
The Coniston Hotel is located just a few miles from the historic market town of Skipton, the “Gateway to the Dales” and is handy for its 12th Century castle and outdoor market. The famous Malham Cove is only four miles from the hotel, and Haworth and Bronte Country are within easy reach, as is Pendle Hill and the Ribble Valley. Other popular North Yorkshire towns such as Settle, Grassington, Harrogate are also within striking distance.
Bookings can be made on tel. 01756 748080, and the hotel’s website is at www.theconistonhotel.com.
