Two tour guides took us on a 1-hour walk-through of the hall and they were amazing at sharing all the history about the place. I felt like it was money well spent and I got a true feel for the history of Newby. The gardens and expansive grounds also are beautiful to stroll around in. I wish I could live here! Staying in Skelton-on-Ure, we also happened upon the Church of Christ the Consoler, which is amazing as it appears like an ancient Gothic cathedral in the middle of a sheep farm but is actually around 150 years old built in Gothic revival style. Love this whole place.

I went to the New Year's Eve trail this year which started here with food from Luck, Lust, Liquor and Burn followed by numerously inventive cocktails and shots.

Was told a few weeks later that flights are cancelled. he was unable to find an alternative without paying more. When asked if we can get a refund, he said he will charge us £50 admin fee. We challenged this as customer should not be liable to pay admin fee when we aren't the ones at fault. Upon arguing, he then said he will just go ahead and cancel the whole holiday "because its easier" these were his words!!! We were so disgusted at his behaviour and attitude and the fact that he is charging admin fee even though HE is the one who decided to cancel the rest of the holiday and not find an alternative. 2 weeks on, still no sign of a refund of £1700 - which we paid via bank transfer because he insisted an immediate payment when booking. Save your time, money and hassle and book with a reputable company!!!! PS - we have heard negative reviews about Dewsbury travel from many many other families.

Had a nice family day out and we decided we would go here…read more We went up to Leeds and then had to catch the Bus 19 which took us up between Temple Newsam house and the golf grounds, we then had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the actual place. Walking up to it you're surrounded by green and then there are a load of tree's that seperate so you can walk through them towards the house and grounds, it was like something out of a postcard. When we actually got to the grounds we were stumped on where to go first! Do we go into Temple Newsam House OR do we head towards their little farm OR do we wonder around their 1500 acres of woodlands, fields etc!? Spoilt for choice We started off with the house itself. Prices for a family tickets (2 adults & up to 3 children) are: Temple Newsam House: £9.50 Home Farm: £8.70 Joint Ticket: £15.50 The house is magnificent! You are asked not to take photo's. This is because of the flash as the light and heat can damage pictures etc, it can cause a chemical reaction. I did take a few pictures, but made sure my flash was OFF as not to damage anything. You have a choice of walking around the house reading bits and bobs, or you can use these handheld blocks where you punch in the number per room and a recording will guide you through the room and explain. There are also children's versions of this. We all got confused by it so we opted out lol. Had a little laugh as there is a picture of a man near the picture gallery and he was a spitting image of my father - didn't take a photo of this. Despite it being so big and perhaps a bit dull for children, our children loved it and were full of questions that we tried to answer. They were excited about going into different rooms and their favourite room was the 'nannys room' where they had modern toys for children to play with. We then headed towards the farm. I will be honest with you, I didn't like the farm as much as I would have normally - perhaps it was because of the weather? I would have liked it to have been a farm where we could feed the animals too because places such as the barns with cows, they only had 1 large bucket of this protien stuff which meant that only the biggest cows had managed to get to it (would YOU try and squeeze inbetween 2 fully grown cows!?) and so the younger smaller ones had no chance - perhaps later in the day they would?? :( . One was even eating the straw on the ground which was covered in 'you know what', so I didn't like that bit. The highlight of the farm was that we saw piglets being born! That was amazing! The grounds are huge! As I've already said, all of this is within 1500 acres of land and they have woodlands you can explore which we didn't have time to get to, so it's deffinately an all day trip or perhaps even 2 days. I would go again, although I wouldn't pay for the farm again.
