Why not treat yourself to a local Tai Chi class whilst staying at Newton Grange Cottages?
We highly recommend Val's Tai Chi classes, which are held at a number of outdoor and indoor venues, such as the fabulous Cliffe Castle Park and stunning Skipton Town Hall. You can book online or drop Val a message to find out more.
A new year is upon us, full of hope and promise and perhaps ideas of things we'd love to be doing more of.

I’m delighted to introduce you to Sonia Strumpfer, one of our holidaymakers from South Africa enjoying an extended vacation and working holiday here in North Yorkshire. Sonia’s drawings from Newton Grange really captured my eye. We hope you’ll enjoy them too.
