Welcome
Welcome to Knowles Lodge, luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in the heart of Wharfedale, between Appletreewick and Barden (O/S Ref: 059593).
A family house built in 1938, we have lovingly restored and refurbished this magnificent Canadian-style ranch house and have tried to create a stylish, attractive and comfortable spot for our guests. Set on a small plateau and surrounded by 17 acres of meadow and woodland, Knowles Lodge enjoys breathtaking views in every direction, in particular over Black Park and towards Simon’s Seat.
"We want to share our love of this place, somewhere where people feel better for having visited."
Pam & Chris Knowles-Fitton (proprietors)
We're within easy reach of some of the Yorkshire Dales' most spectacular beauty spots and surrounded by places of valuable historical heritage. The location is perhaps unsurpassed in Wharfedale.
Knowles Lodge is a perfect first night stop for Dales Way walkers starting from Ilkley. The Dales Way runs through our bottom meadow and alongside the River Wharfe, the natural South-West boundary to the estate. Whether you want to walk, cycle, fish, or simply relax and enjoy the scenery, you're certain of a warm and friendly welcome here at Knowles Lodge.
