Helme Pasture

Set in rural Nidderdale near to Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire, Helme Pasture offers two pet friendly self catering Scandinavian lodges and two cosy farmhouse holiday cottages, nestled in our 29 acre natural woodland (which our guests are free to explore) overlooking the Nidderdale valley.

Our two custom built Scandinavian lodges are designed for 2 to 6 people but are adaptable and can easily be arranged in different configurations depending on your requirements. Being all on one level, from the car park, through the lodges to the decked area, they will also suit those of us who are no longer as mobile as we once were. Do note that these lodges are NOT wooden cladded caravans that can often be found on holiday parks - they are genuine Scandinavian houses made by Danish craftsmen!

These two lodges can be opened up via two internal doors into a single large lodge, and with minor changes groups of up to 10 adults can be easily accommodated whether this is friends getaway or a multi generational holiday for your extended family which can of course include your pets as well!

The three cottages are part of the main farmhouse and can each sleep 2 or more people in comfort.

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.
