An afternoon run out to The Devonshire Arms or The Fell Hotel is always a treat. Come spring, its enviable countryside setting is especially beautiful, as the season ushers in warm sunny days and the shoots of new greenery and spring flowers. Spoil Mum this Mother’s Day, thanking her with a special treat at one of these two beautiful Yorkshire Dales hotels.
Enjoy the occasion of an elegant afternoon tea together at The Devonshire Arms. Served in the hotel’s stylish, light-filled Garden Room restaurant, with its botanically inspired décor, and views over the courtyard garden, this is the perfect excuse to spend time together; or why not enjoy a three-course lunch in the Brasserie, with views of the splendid Dales beyond? Perfect for Mother’s Day.
The Fell, with its magnificent countryside setting, in an elevated spot on the edge of Burnsall village also offers a traditional Yorkshire Afternoon Tea. A warm welcome awaits at this cosy hideaway, where Mum will enjoy the views almost as much as her afternoon tea.
