17th Century Licenced Country Guest House, In a Picturesque wensleydale village, super accommodation

Ivy Dene is a 300-year-old Dales listed building, in the Wensleydale village of West Witton. Wensleydale is the largest and many consider the most picturesque of the Yorkshire Dales, and Ivy Dene is approximately four miles from the famous Aysgarth Falls. The view from the front of the house looks out across the village to the beautiful Wensleydale valley beyond, along which runs the River Ure. From the back of the house you will see Pen Hill, which separates Wensleydale from neighbouring Coverdale and is shrouded in legend. The accommodation has been tastefully adapted to provide all the modern comforts while retaining the charm and character of the old country cottage.

Ivy Dene has a restaurant licence, and its rooms are centrally heated - ideal for winter breaks. There is a car park at the rear. You can always be sure of personal attention from Bob and June Dickinson at Ivy Dene. Mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, West Witton is one of Wensleydale's oldest villages dating back to the 11th century. It is still very much a 'Âœworking', mostly farming, village with a friendly and thriving local community supporting two typical Dales pubs, an ancient church and a village green and pond. It has close connections with the James Herriot TV series "All Creatures Great and Small".
