| Large Group Rental Information | |||
| Studfold Farm Activity Centre was built specifically to accommodate groups of up to 30. There are 4 rooms sleeping 14, 12, 2 & 2 in bunk beds and although mattresses & pillows have protectors, visitors need to bring sleeping bags/duvets & pillowcases. The Centre has a large well-equipped kitchen and a separate food preparation area for self-catering. A local caterer can be brought in to prepare meals if required. The Centre is intended as a base for groups pursuing their own interests, however, Rock Steady (Outdoor Pursuits Specialists) can be contacted to provide a programme of activities tailored to meet each groups requirements. There are 2 outdoor areas, one next to the centre, which can be used for eating or just getting a breath of fresh air and the second is a short walk from the building and is ideal for ball games. The English Tourist Board has awarded a 3* rating and although we are not aiming for the luxury end of the market (no sofa's or TV) we have provided a drying room, self controlled heating and ample toilet/shower facilities to ensure a comfortable and warm stay. The Centre does have disabled provision and all heating/electricity charges are included in the price. We do not take pets and the building is a no-smoking area. The Activity Centre is situated on Studfold Farm, a small cattle and sheep farm. The farm includes a quiet family caravan and camping park to which visitors are always ensured a warm and friendly welcome. Upper Nidderdale is to many the most picturesque of all the Yorkshire Dales and it is ideally situated to be within easy reach of many local attractions. Next to Studfold Farm is Howstean Gorge, or as it is known locally 'Little Switzerland'. The upper dale also hosts the most breathtaking part of the Nidderdale Way, a circular walk of over 50 miles. This takes the intrepid walker past Scar House and Angram reservoirs, a place for reflection and tranquil beauty. |
