Hotels in Northallerton

Northallerton makes a practical, well-connected base for exploring North Yorkshire without the crowds that build up in the honeypot villages of the Dales and Moors themselves. Its accommodation reflects its history as a coaching town on the old Great North Road: traditional inns and small hotels along the Georgian High Street, many with the low ceilings and thick walls of buildings that have been welcoming travellers for two hundred years or more. These sit alongside independent bed and breakfasts in the town and in nearby villages such as Romanby and Brompton, offering a quieter, more residential alternative just a short walk or drive from the centre. Because Northallerton is a working county town rather than a tourist destination in its own right, prices tend to be more reasonable than in the Dales or Moors proper, particularly outside the main summer season. Its direct rail link on the East Coast Main Line, with services to London King's Cross, York, Darlington and Edinburgh, also makes it a sensible option for visitors arriving by train who still want easy access to both national parks by car or local bus. Whether you are here for the twice-weekly market, using the Wensleydale Railway to head into the Dales, or simply breaking a longer journey up the A1(M), Northallerton's hotels and inns offer a comfortable, unpretentious stay in the heart of North Yorkshire.
