If you appreciate quality accommodation in a beautiful dales location then The Horse Box is for you. The owner has provided everything you need to enjoy your stay. The extremely spacious and tastefully appointed interior is excellently maintained throughout and is complemented by the owner’s thoughtful choices in toiletries, linens and all kitchen sundries….nothing is overlooked and there is a welcome pack of initial essentials too. Leyburn is close at hand and there are countryside walks and views from the door.
