Full Review
LONG Ashes Park is set in the heart of Wharfedale in the idyllic Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is surrounded by some of England’s finest scenery in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There are some wonderful walks and excellent fishing to be enjoyed nearby. You can explore the many historic buildings and picturesque villages set in green fields dotted with sheep and criss-crossed with traditional dry stone walls.
The park has been thoughtfully landscaped on a gently sloping hillside, using the abundant local limestone to good effect. The dry stone walls and substantial rockeries provide a dramatic backdrop for the colourful and beautifully kept gardens of the park homes and holiday caravans.
To supplement the mature trees there is a long-term tree planting and woodland management scheme in place. The owners are committed to creating and maintaining a pleasant environment for residents, and also to protect and preserve the character of the Yorkshire Dales.
The historic market town of Skipton is nine miles from the park. Here you will find the larger stores and, of course, its well-known street market which is held four days a week.
The picturesque village of Grassington, with its quaint cobbled streets and traditional buildings, is only three miles away, offering a good range of shops for your everyday needs, quality country shops, as well as a bank, dental and doctors’ surgeries.
Long Ashes Park is like an old-fashioned friendly village where neighbours make you welcome. As a resident at Long Ashes you can enjoy the benefits of living in a small rural community with all of life’s main necessities catered for.
Park homes have natural gas central heating and are connected to main services. Milk and mail deliveries are made to each park home, and refuse is collected on a weekly basis. Most well-behaved pets are welcome, subject to park regulations, provided they are kept under control.
At Long Ashes there is a heated indoor pool, gym, spa, sauna, steam room and tanning booth, plus a Beauty Spa offering a wide range of treatments. The pool area and gym are for members use only, but the Clubroom and lounge are open to everyone. Light meals and refreshments are available every day.
There are also several luxuriously appointed, traditionally built solid log cabins available for self-catering holidays all-year round, plus a smaller chalet which is ideal for those on walking or cycling holidays.
