The place
You’ll find Bullghyll right at the very top of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, just below the North Pennines AONB, and just ten or so miles to the east of The Lake District. The apex of these wild spaces, you’d wrongly imagine a spartan dwelling, instead you find a well-designed and carefully curated interior. On rainier days, take the time to eye the attention to detail architect and designer Georgina Rose (former architect of Soho House) has installed in her renovations, whilst you thumb through one of the books from the bustling bookshelves, in the comfort of your armchair by the wood burner. On sunnier days, keep one eye on the BBQ, and one on the ponies in the field behind, as the rest of the guests hop from summerhouse to garden table, eagerly waiting.
