AA Rated 5 Star Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast in a 700-Year-Old Yorkshire Farmhouse
Accommodation & Rooms
Mallard Grange B&B offers four individual en suite guest rooms, including ground floor options for accessibility. Each room features a spacious lounge area, a super king-sized bed, and garden or countryside views of the working farm. Guests receive homemade shortbread on arrival and can pick tulips from the flower field during spring.
Breakfast & Dining
Breakfast is served around a communal table in the farmhouse dining room, allowing guests to interact. The menu includes a full English or Irish breakfast with locally sourced produce, gluten-free options, and dishes like Whitby kippers and smoked haddock. The B&B also offers homemade preserves, lemon curd, honey, and a custom breakfast delivery option.

Mallard Grange sits on a working farm opposite the main entrance to Fountains Abbey, a 30-minute walk through fields and woodland.

Free private parking is available, and the B&B is 36 km from Leeds Bradford International Airport.
