Nestled in the shadow of the impressive ruins of Barden Tower, a Grade 1 listed building with superb views of the valley and surrounding hills, The Priests House has a fine reputation for excellent cuisine and service. This is a unique North Yorkshire venue.

Both the House and the Chapel are steeped in history and charm. The House retains many of its original features such as the dark oak beamed ceilings, paned windows and real log fires and the Chapel has been recently renovated with its large airy windows, designed chandeliers and fabulous entrance. As soon as you set foot inside you know this is a place with a special ambience.

Before the Tower that you see today, it was initially a hunting lodge. Barden itself means “Land of the Wild Boar.” During this time, it also served as a Forest Court, administering justice for the area.

The Tower is now owned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. For the last 15 years more history has been through happy memories for its guests. We really look forward to seeing you at this historic and special place.
