Thanks for telling us what you like to do when you stay at Waitby. Here are just a few ideas that have been left on our feedback forms. And hats off to the people who did the 10 mile walk (including Cautley Spout) – I bet you needed a glass of wine in the Jaccuzzi to soothe your aching feet afterwards!
• We tackled a great walk mid-week from Sedburgh to Cautley Spout, up the side of the falls to the summit of the calf (700 metres) and then over the tops to Sedburgh, about 10 miles and not for the faint hearted, but incredible scenery and a very close encounter with an RAF Tornado doing some low level practise!
• We have had some lovely walks by the viaduct and at Ingleton Falls. We did a walk around Castle Bolton, which is very interesting. White Scar caves were fascinating. It is not far to the Lake District, which we went to a couple of times and we had a good meal at the Fat Lamb Inn.
• We have really enjoyed my stay here at Waitby School. It is very peaceful and has a beautiful background. We enjoyed going to Hill Top to Beatrix Potter’s House. Also Ingleton Falls. We hope we can come back here in the future – Isabel and Eloise, age 11 and 8
• Recommend White Scar Cave, the Dales Countryside Museum and Home Open Farm as Good days out.
• A visit to the chocolate factory – Kennedy’s – is a must for chocolate lovers! We had a couple of lovely meals at the Black Bull in Nateby – lovely food and very friendly service. Would highly recommend a visit to Aira Force at Ullswater – a spectacular sight. If you need to escape the stress of a busy world then Waitby School is the place to be.
• We visited the Wensleydale Cheese Farm – superb lunches in the restaurant.
• We have all had a very enjoyable stay. The accommodation is excellent. In addition to the local walks around Kirkby Stephen and the old Smardale Railway, we have walked from Gunnerside, Keld (both in Swaledale) and Aisgill. Other trips have included Derwent Water and Sizergh Castle. Many thanks for the lovely chocolates (we calledin to Kennedy’s to buy some more!)
• Took the train to Horton in Ribblesdale, short ramble in hills (very friendly staff on the trains, nostalgic stations)
• Home Farm by Sedburgh gave us a great welcome, we all enjoyed feeding the lambs

You should also try the Moorcock Inn at Sedburgh. Big comfy sofas, a good range of board games (not all of them complete but it adds to the fun), a hearty, rustic menu and a welcome site at the end of a day's walking.
