WELCOME TO

The Roost Retreat

The Roost Retreat is a comfortable, quiet and rustic holiday home located in Leeming Bar, on the Gateway to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Our characteristic little holiday hideaway is an eco-conversion of a former Orangery and has been beautifully restored, retaining the original beams into cosy and unique self-catering accommodation. The Roost Retreat also benefits from its own separate kitchenette and a private outside patio area with a barbeque and fire pit. There is ample off-road private, level and secure parking, right outside the accommodation, a large enclosed front garden and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Sleeping up to two guests, we are the perfect holiday bolthole for couples, solo travellers, business guests and visitors/contractors to nearby RAF Leeming.  Dog friendly (up to two small dogs), motorcyclists, cyclists and walkers are also welcome. We are less than a minute walk for the Wensleydale Railway and the Wensleydale Polar Express and therefore ideal for event crew staff looking for conveniently placed accommodation whilst working at the event.

Accommodation at The Roost

The former Orangery retains the original characteristic wooden beams and is dotted with a Poultry theme throughout as a nod to the buildings’ previous role.

Dining Facilities at The Roost

The separate kitchenette is a lovely little outside room, doubling up as a Dining area. The ideal spot to snuggle up in the evenings with a meal and glass of wine.

DISCOVER

North Yorkshire

The Roost Retreat is situated in the village of Leeming Bar, just off the A684 between Bedale and Northallerton. It is located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, also known as Herriot Country where the 1970’s TV programme “All Creatures Great and Small” was filmed. Our location is perfect for visiting the many diverse range of attractions, gardens, historic houses, walking and cycling North Yorkshire has to offer.  We are surrounded by several lovely market towns with a diverse range of independent shops and businesses within a short drive including Bedale, Northallerton, Masham, Leyburn, Richmond and the beautiful cathedral city of Ripon.

WHAT OUR GUESTS

Are Saying

Susan & Amanda, Devon

A wonderful and comfortable overnight stay at The Roost. The owners have thought of every little detail, so if you’ve forgotten something, it doesn’t matter. You’ll find it there or could ask for it. There are lots of lovely little touches, including a selection of hot drinks for you to try, including marshmallows for your hot chocolate. The owners who live next door manage to be available for any potential issues/questions whilst at the same time giving you plenty of privacy. There is a handy shop next door and a space for you to prepare and eat simple meals. The bed is comfortable, the shower is powerful, and you really couldn’t ask for anything more. I would wholly recommend The Roost to anyone planning a visit to this area.

We had a lovely time at The Roost Retreat, the hosts were really welcoming and friendly even let us park our car there earlier than the check-in time as we were going on the Wensleydale railway.  Lots of unexpected added touches, homemade cake, milk, tea, coffee, etc. Can’t wait to return… hopefully very soon.

Fiona & Heather, New Zealand & North Yorkshire

My Mum & I stayed at The Roost beginning of February.  We found our stay very enjoyable and comfortable.  Anything we would have needed was available and our hosts were very welcoming and helpful.  Would recommend to anyone wanting a night or 2 close to The Dales and lots of other local attractions.

We have stayed several times before with the previous owners. The Roost Retreat is ideally positioned for our visits to the dales, with its own private off road parking. The new owners Simon and Claire have kept up the very high standards. With lots of thoughtful little extras which were very welcome. Simon and Claire are very friendly, the perfect hosts.

Had to share this lovely gesture from a recent guest 😊 This little @duckcompanyuk duck originally called ‘Maddison’ was a surprise gift our guests left, on departure. Her name was carefully handwritten changed to Claire (me 😊) by the guest and an added lovely gesture was this little tag which arrived in the post from dcuk, which was also a gift from the guest. Love the little message on the reverse of the packet, pointing to the Tower of London stamp 🤣😍 we love it and really made our day! It is kind appreciation and gestures like this which really make hosting so enjoyable and obviously doing the job right 😊 Thank you so much, Jo & Michael, love this quirky fun humour!
