"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.
