Tudor House

Reception Area

Tudor House was built in 1849 as Bell Busk station on the 'Little North Western Railway' built by the Midland Railway Company to carry Victorian tourists from industrial Yorkshire to the seaside resort of Morecambe. The line was later extended to become the world famous Settle to Carlisle, one of the most scenic railway lines in the country. Further attractions for railway enthusiasts are the preserved railways of Bolton Abbey and Keithley and Worth Valley close by.

Guest Lounge

Sun Lounge and Library

Tudor House stands in an acre of gardens with excellent views across the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It retains much of the charm and character of the old station but also offers modern amenities such as full central heating, a spacious and comfortable lounge with colour television, and an attractive dining room. There are six tastefully furnished bedrooms; four double or twin with en suite facilities, one standard twin/single and one single standard. Both with hot and cold water and shared facilities. All have tea and coffee making equipment, colour TV and hairdryer.

Dining Room

Ensuite Bedroom

Tudor House has been designed primarily with the guest in mind. We like everyone to enjoy themselves and feel at home. The garden, with its views, or the lounge with its wood burning stove aid relaxation and enable guests to relive the events of the day.

Garden

Haw Crag from Tudor House

Bell Busk is a sleepy little hamlet about 4 miles south of the village of Malham and half a mile from the Pennine Way. Yet it is just 1 mile from the A65 road to the Lake District and only 8 miles from the busy market town of Skipton, boasting one of the finest castles in the North of England and an extensive and picturesque market four days a week.

Close by are the ancient village of Malham, dating back to the 6th century, the spectacular cliffs of Malham Cove and the waterfalls of Gordale Scar. Malhamdale is one of the country's most famous and well studied geological areas whilst on the surroundings fells are ample signs of iron age, bronze age and Neolithic settlers dating back as far as 5000BC.

For walkers the Dales offer scenery and challenge to suit everyone. Whether you prefer a gentle river side stroll through the woods at Bolton Priory to visit the Strid, where the river Wharfe plunges through a narrow rocky gorge, or a day spent exploring the scenic grandeur of the Craven Faults, or a long walk over the limestone uplands, or perhaps a snow walk to experience a different face to the Dales in Winter, you will find plenty to attract you.

For the more leisurely visitor Bolton Priory and Fountains Abbey beckon and there are a host of attractive villages - Grassington, Buckden, Clapham, Austwick, Ingleton - and market towns such as Settle and Skipton. Haworth (home of the Brontes), Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine), Ilkley with its famous moor, the outstanding beauty of Herriot country, spa town of Harrogate, historic York and the Lake District are all within easy reach. There are canal trips, railway excursions, riding and cycling opportunities and in summer every major village has its agricultural show, often with special attractions such as dry stone wall building competitions and fell races.

Keen mill shoppers will have a feast with Boundary Mill, Ponden Mill, Oswaldtwistle Mill, Watershed Mill and the Jumpers Factory all within half an hour.

A wide range literature on local attractions and activities is available.

Do not follow it but take the minor road forward keeping the stream on your right. The entrance to Tudor House is the next turning on the left about 200 yards past the bridge.
