The business

Dales View Holiday Homes is a family run business with decades of experience in self catering accommodation. Situated in Leyburn, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales we can boast idyllic surroundings and stunning views. Our accommodation consists of two stone built period cottages, Yoredale and Stonedale, three self-contained apartments in Hetton Court, and a new self-contained cottage, Rosedale. The properties form a secluded courtyard less than 100 metres from Leyburn Market Place, with access by a private drive. Each cottage and apartment has ample private parking.
