Helme Pasture

We are located in rural Nidderdale near to the town of Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire. Helme Pasture offers two pet friendly self catering Scandinavian lodges and three dog friendly Yorkshire Dales farmhouse holiday cottages. We are nestled in our own 29 acre natural woodland which overlooks the Nidderdale valley, which our guests are free to explore.
Our two custom built self catering Scandinavian lodges are designed for 2 to 6 people and are adaptable as they can be arranged in different configurations depending on your requirements. These self catering lodges are all on one level, from the car park, through to the decked area, so they will also suit those of us who are no longer as mobile as we once were.
These two lodges can be opened up via two internal doors into a single large holiday home and with minor changes large groups of up to 10 adults can be easily accommodated whether this is a friends getaway or a multi generational holiday for your extended family.
Unlike the wooden cladded caravans that can often be found on holiday parks, these are genuine Scandinavian houses made by Danish craftsmen and well insulated from the extremes of weather from snowy winters to blazing hot summers.
Our three self catering country cottages are part of our main Yorkshire farmhouse and can each sleep 2 or more people with increasing levels of comfort and space.

About us:

Helme Pasture has been owned and independently managed by the same family for over 60 years, with the move away from a rundown working farm to holiday accommodation taking place in the 1970’s.

Over this time the wood has grown from scrub with a rich history to mature, semi ancient woodland comprising of mainly Sessile Oak, Holly, Beech, Silver Birch and Ash. With this change, an abundance and variety of wildlife have chosen to make the woodland its home. If you look carefully, signs of ancient settlements can be seen where rocks have been arranged as part of small camps and enclosures.
