Grantley Hall

Grantley Hall sits on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales near Ripon, surrounded by 38 acres of landscaped grounds and countryside rather than a village or urban setting.

The Grade II*-listed house traces its history to the 17th century and now contains just 47 rooms and suites, allowing ornate heritage interiors and highly personalized service to remain central to the stay.

Accommodation is individually styled with a formal country-house sensibility, while the broader hotel has an unusually ambitious dining program spanning five restaurants and several distinct bars.

Three Graces Spa includes an 18-metre indoor pool, indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy pool, steam, sauna, hot tub, snow room and Nordic Spa Garden with ice baths and outdoor sauna. The separate ELITE gym pushes the fitness offering even further.

Grantley Hall is best for travelers who want the English country-house experience with far more wellness, fitness and dining infrastructure than a traditional manor hotel normally provides.
