"Anyone visiting Low Penhowe Bed and Breakfast can be assured of a 
warm welcome and a truly comfortable stay." 

‘Low Penhowe’ is old Yorkshire dialect for ‘the sheep pen on a 
hill’. Today, the house has been described as “a very elegant home” 
by the English Tourist Council, which has awarded owners Philippa 
and Christopher Turner the Council’s 5 Stars and the Gold award for 
their outstanding Yorkshire B&B. For the last two years we have been 
awarded “Yorkshire Finalist for Guest Accommodation of the Year”

A traditional Yorkshire stone-built farmhouse, with stunning views 
overlooking the Howardian Hills, Yorkshire Wolds and across to the 
North Yorkshire Moors, the house makes an idyllic spot for a quiet 
few nights away. 

Low Penhowe is also the perfect location for anyone wishing to enter 
into the hustle and bustle of York, while enjoying the peace and 
tranquillity of rural England.
