“God made the country, and man made the town”, William Cowper famously said. And, Yorkshire locals retain Cowper’s sentiment, coining the county’s rural areas ‘God’s Own Country’. So deep is the affection for the Yorkshire countryside that much of it has protection under National Park status. The park is guarded by locals and visitors alike with steadfast preservation guidelines. A trip requires respect but promises solitary, beauty, and relaxation in return. And, settled on the slopes of High Eldwick, Faweather Grange welcomes county visitors with open log cabin doors.

High Eldwick brings both a moorland village base and scenic views across the Wharfedale Valley. Looking over Weecher Reservoir, guests can admire the impressive Cow and Calf Rocks on the famed Ilkley Moor. The property’s luxury assortment of log cabins offers a perfect immersion into Yorkshire’s natural beauty, all without compromising thoughtful luxuries and indulgence.

We all know that secrets like Faweather Grange don’t stay secret for long. The property has a long list of awards to its name. Since 2010, Faweather Grange has recieved the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence every year. It has also won recognitions like the Visit England 5 star Holiday Award and the Travellers Choice Award in 2020. Thanks to its proximity to Michelin-starred dining venues, high calibre recreational activities, and stunning natural landscapes, Faweather Grange has amassed a stellar reputation in the luxury hospitality field.

Visiting guests can take advantage of a generous selection of log cabins, each with individual twists and preference suitabilities. Whether you are looking to sleep 2, 4, or even 6 to 8 guests on your countryside escape, Faweather Grange will have a luxury cabin for you. Each lodge boasts a charming Finnish design and features a private hot tub and viewing platform – combining relaxation and nature from the instant you arrive.

For large groups, Aspen is an incredible option. The lodge is split across two levels and treats guests to a jacuzzi bathroom, 8-person hot tub, log fire, private garden, and two wooden viewing decks. In Aspen, you can dine al fresco as the sun rises in complete privacy. Alternatively, star gaze amongst friends in high spirits in the American hot tub. The combination of space and solitude makes for an incredible weekend away amongst friend groups or extended family.

Alternatively, couples can take advantage of Faweather Grange’s speciality in romantic escapes. For lodges that sleep two, you will be spoilt for choice. However, Solitude is ideal if you value a secluded environment since it is located on a private path, separate from the other lodges. Here, you can embrace your rural surroundings with your loved one – listening out for the nesting Barn Owls as you overlook the forest below from your private hot tub. And, if you can bring yourself to go back inside, the lodge features a four-poster bed and a log fire to enjoy.

For those looking for even more indulgence, Faweather Grange has a unique approach to providing guests with spa and beauty treatments. The property is partnered with the best local beauticians and health experts who offer treatments from the serenity of your private lodge.

Guests can opt for a classic 45-minute back massage or try something new, such as Reiki’s energy-based healing practice. The ‘Natural Facelift Massage’ is another favourite amongst treatment indulgers. It uses ‘natural based cleansers, exfoliation, hydration and clay mask blended with essential oils’ to firm and refresh the face and neck – the perfect treatment for those looking for some rejuvenation.

Of course, if you struggled to fit in a beautician before your visit, you may prefer the in-lodge beautician service. You can treat yourself to eyelash extensions, manicures, and even dermaplanning facials. Despite its rural location, Faweather Grange advocates beauty and wellness – taking the stress out of appointments and leaving them as the ultimate, convenient you time.

In terms of property activities, the valley is your oyster. Faweather Grange specialises in cycling tours and rentals, meaning keen cyclists have the choice to leave their bike at home, and amateurs can choose to explore on two wheels.

For a guided bike tour, including bike hire, Faweather Grange has a £45 package. An excellent option for those wanting the informative benefits of a guide and ease of a pre-planned route, a bike tour showcases the best of the surrounding countryside. If you’d prefer to set out solo, you can take advantage of the £20 bike hire package, which includes a top-of-the-range helmet – delivered to your lodge for utmost convenience.

Those wanting an intensive cycling experience can also consider the ‘Beginners Mountain Bike Skills Course’. For £65, you will be lead around nearby Chevin Park with a qualified instructor while you master techniques such as wheel lifts, riding rocks, and positioning. Choosing between adventure and luxury is not a choice you will have to make at Faweather Grange.
