The Estate

A family owned working estate in North Yorkshire, moor, woodland and farmland. A much loved estate shared, for a while, with those who stay.

Livestock are tended, the land is worked, and the seasons carry on around you. You may pass the flock on a morning walk, or watch the shoot head out in season. That’s not a backdrop to the stay, it’s part of the experience.

Every Stay Is Different

There is no set itinerary here, and that is rather the point. A stay at Lunshaw Farm is whatever you need it to be, a week of long walks and early nights, a weekend of dinners and late conversation, or simply the rare luxury of nowhere to be.

02. Cycling

Empty lanes and long, rewarding climbs.

Quiet country lanes for road riders, gentle family loops and scenic climbs into the hills, including the famously steep Boltby Bank and Sutton Bank for those who like a challenge. Mountain bikers can head for the waymarked trails at Sutton Bank, and there’s a village café or two along the way to make it all worthwhile.

A tradition tied to the land.
03. Shooting

A tradition tied to the land.

In season, shooting forms part of the estate’s long heritage, bound up with countryside management, conservation and generous hospitality. It is less a sport here than a rhythm of the year, and the care of the land it depends upon.

The luxury of doing very little.
04. Wellness

The luxury of doing very little.

Morning walks and yoga in the open air, meditation, a book by the window, and long hours with nothing to check. A genuine digital detox, and the deep rest that comes with fresh air and real quiet.

Dinner as the evening’s main event.
05. Private Dining

Dinner as the evening’s main event.

Available when hiring the whole house or The Byre for an event: bring your own private chef and lay a long table for the evening, the kitchen and dining spaces are set up to make it easy. A wonderful way to mark a celebration.
