A family run country house hotel located on the edge of the North York Moors in the historic village of Lastingham. Lastingham Grange was transformed in the early nineteen twenties from a seventeenth century farm house into the fine country house that it is today. However, it was only in 1946 that the Grange first opened its doors as an hotel. Since the mid fifties it has been owned and cherished and personally run by the Wood family, whose home it still is. The Grange is stone walled and built around a courtyard. It is set, with in ten acres of well kept gardens and fields, on the edge of the moors in the historic village of Lastingham; a peaceful backwater in the heart of the National Park, where the only sound is the sound of morning birdsong. Here the road peters out and becomes a bridle path across the moors to Rosedale and afar.
