If you're touring Wensleydale and the Yorkshire Dales, Honeycott Caravan Park offers a warm welcome to motorhomes and touring caravans and also has holiday caravans for hire and a holiday cottage.

So if you fall in love with this area, you could buy your own holiday caravan and enjoy regular breaks as often as you can from March to October every year. If you have friends or family members who would like to be on holiday with you but have no motorhome or caravan, tell them about the attractive stone Honeycott Holiday Cottage to them. The cottage sleeps four, and boasts a super kingsize bed that can be separated into two singles if preferred. Pets are not allowed in the cottage.
