Abbots Thorn is a 200 year-old, traditional, stone-built, former Dales farmhouse that reputedly has the only round chimney stacks in the Dales.

Set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Abbots Thorn is in Coverdale's principal village of Carlton with stunning views south towards West Scrafton.  In the heart of 'Herriot' country, the village is situated between Leyburn and Hawes and consists of only about 90 houses and a pub.  Carlton is an ideal base for walking, hiking, fishing, bird watching or touring in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

As a B&B we have been awarded the VisitBritian 4 Star award so you can be sure of a comfortable, warm and friendly stay with us.  We are centrally located to many places of interest including Leyburn, Middleham, Aysgarth Falls, Wensley, Reeth, Askrigg and Hawes.
