This was an excellent short holiday, with plenty of variety - from seeing the racehorses at Middleham (and meeting one of the stable staff who filled in some background for us) to waterfalls and moors. As it was wet on the middle day we followed the advice not to walk over the moor, but rather than take a taxi we walked from Castle Bolton to Reeth - this was enjoyable in its own way. The breakfasts and picnics were all excellent, with plenty of choice at breakfast. The evening menu at the George and Dragon was excellent - a good varied menu, beautifully cooked and presented. On the last evening we had an excellent dinner at Rustique in Richmond. The guidance on walking through fields with livestock was helpful as there were a lot of cattle!
Due to covid this was an alteration to our trip to the Dolomites which Inntravel handled really well
Enjoyable walking in a beautiful part of the world. The excellent and accurate walk notes were invaluable. Having not visited the Dales before, we both felt that the choice of villages were both interesting and delightful.

We really enjoyed the walking, although we struck lucky with the weather. We were glad not to have the stress of flying at this time and the route was lovely. My partner hadn't been to the Dales and was impressed. Loved Middleham and wouldn't have made a special trip there if it weren't for this holiday - very enjoyable first day's walking after a trip round the castle. We enjoyed a visit to Castle Bolton and ate our lunch in the little vineyard, feeling like we could have been in France.
We had a lovely holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. All the guesthouses were really nice, the staff so friendly and welcoming! We were asked what we wanted for breakfast and picnics, and given recommendations for things to see and do in the area. The walk notes were very detailed, which was good because in places it could be hard to navigate with only the map. The scenery was amazing, we couldn’t help but stop often to take photos or just admire the views.
Thoroughly enjoyed this holiday, as with all other Inntravel holidays. We would have liked an extra day in Richmond as we only did the short 5 day holiday and didn’t have enough time to look around.
Walking over the gallops was really interesting, Bolton Castle was very worthwhile, walking over the moors was exciting in terms of their scale and the absence of people.
Excellent direction and a wonderful short sampling of this beautiful area!
Being a lone traveller can be quite daunting, this is my first holiday on my own. The guide/routes were very accurate but when I first read them I was unsure if I would be able to follow them, I think I was worried that I wouldnt find all the signs and stiles as some were quite hard to spot. But overall it was very good, just avoid the cows! Being chased was petrifying.
