Braithwaite Hall is a working hill farm situated in the lower reaches of Coverdale which borders the more famous Wensleydale. The farm has a large flock of Swaledale sheep and a beef cattle herd. We are located 1 1/2 miles along a single track lane outside of East Witton, and there is plenty of parking spaces for all of our guests. The earliest reference to a house at Braithwaite is 1301, when listed as a grange to Jervaulx Abbey. The Hall was also owned by the City of London for a time during the 17th century. Re-modeled in 1667, the Hall boasts a splendid oak paneled drawing room with a large open fireplace. Where guests can sit and relax and take in the ambiance. An Award Winning farmhouse breakfast is served every morning in the dining room.
