Overview

Intro

Nestled in the serene embrace of the North York Moors, the Owl at Hawnby offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. This well-dressed country inn is renowned for its breathtaking moorland views, making it a perfect base for those looking to explore the stunning landscapes of the Howardian Hills and the nearby escarpment of Sutton Bank. Just a short distance from the World of James Herriot and surrounded by knobbly hills and woodland copses, guests can truly immerse themselves in the area's natural beauty.

At the Owl at Hawnby, guests can choose from a selection of enticing rooms, including six beautifully designed accommodations featuring patterned headboards and rich velvet drapes. The converted stables offer a cozy retreat, each boasting a shared terrace and intimate seating for two, ensuring a tranquil escape after a day of adventures.

Dining is a highlight, with a restaurant that excels in British, international, and European cuisine, utilizing ingredients from the inn's very own kitchen garden and in-house butcher. Guests can indulge in homemade treasures, including the star of the show—homemade charcuterie, alongside house-specialties like smoky bacon and Hawnby sausages during the full English breakfast. The sociable terrace, complete with a mint-green horsebox serving wood-fired pizzas, invites guests to unwind with a drink or linger over a meal.

The Owl at Hawnby caters to modern needs with convenient amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, picnic areas, and wedding services. Guests often make use of the unique bar's 'barter board', where locals can trade goods like wild garlic for pints, enhancing the community spirit. Located near Durham Tees Valley Airport, this idyllic inn is an easy getaway in the middle of nowhere, perfect for a tranquil retreat or an adventurous escape.
