Furnace Farm Bed & Breakfast - Leaholm

Friendly Victorian B&B Guesthouse On a Working Farm With Excellent Views In Peaceful Esk Valley.

A warm Yorkshire welcome to our working farm in peaceful Esk valley. Furnace farm, situated in the North York moors national park and close to the fishing town of Whitby, is the ideal base for walking, touring and sight seeing. The famous 'Heartbeat country' and steam railway running from Grosmont to Pickering are both within 6 miles, while the sandstone farmhouse provides comfortable spacious rooms with breathtaking views for the ideal relaxing break.

Furnace farm is a working family farm, which is being farmed by the third generation of Dowsons. The name furnace dates back to primitive iron smelting on the site in the 12th/13th century, while the present farmhouse is Victorian. The large comfortable farmhouse offers a private lounge/dining room with log fire providing the perfect relaxing environment on cold evenings and mornings. Along with its views the room also includes digital TV, video and CD player providing entertainment for all the family. We also offer use of our large family garden & ample car parking.
