About this property

Scale House by Group Retreats

Scale House is a Grade II listed country estate accommodating up to 22 guests across nine luxurious bedrooms, ideal for celebrations, family gatherings, retreats and corporate offsites.

Dating back to the late 1500s, the property has been beautifully restored to combine historic character with exceptional modern comfort. Guests can enjoy a variety of elegant social spaces including cosy lounges with open fires, formal reception rooms and a magnificent dining room seating the entire group.

The fully equipped kitchen features a traditional AGA, double ovens and breakfast seating, making it ideal for self catering stays or private dining experiences.

One of Scale House`s standout features is its extensive leisure offering, including a private cinema room, games area, gym, yoga studio, sauna and outdoor hot tub. These facilities create a unique retreat style experience rarely found in large group accommodation. The estate also welcomes well behaved dogs.

Set within private woodland and gardens in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the property offers complete privacy while remaining within easy reach of Skipton, Grassington and the region`s most popular attractions.
