High Trenhouse in Winter

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Life goes on, in spite of airport closures, motorway blockages and icy pavements throughout the land.  These conditions used to be the norm, but a decade of milder winters has led many to be less prepared. 

At High Trenhouse our policy of keeping cars in the valley when there is a risk of snow has been vindicated.  Most days our Landrover provides a valuable connecting link, though there have been glitches due to the festive holidays (even snow ploughs take a break).

It may be winter outside, but contrast that with the warmth of High Trenhouse with it’s cosy interiors, wood burning stoves, sauna and jacuzzi, good food and welcoming hospitality.

Happy new year. We look forward to seeing you in 2010!

David Noton Photography Returns to High Trenhouse

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

For the second year in succession renowned landscape and travel photographer David Noton ran a weekend photographic workshop based at  High Trenhouse at the end of October.  

David was impressed by the flexibility offered and the friendliness of the staff.  He said that all the participants enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the stunning photographic locations nearby, and a similar weekend is scheduled for the 8th, 9th and 10th October 2010.  High Trenhouse offers non-photographic partners an ideal base to explore the Dales, and all the participants commented on the brilliant catering with the homemade cakes warmly received after a photographic shoot. 

Full details of workshop dates and locations for 2010 can be found at www.davidnoton.com with the opportunity to pre-register your interest as places are strictly limited.  The accompanying image was shot on a dawn session above Arncliffe by David’s colleague and fellow professional photographer, Jonathan Gooding.

Dedicated Venues- Do they make a difference?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

What is it about dedicated facilities for management events that adds value for clients? The value of a venue depends on your purpose. If it is a training event for staff, then any venue with light and well-equipped workspace, adjoining breakout and dining facilities may well do the job. If you want to impress clients or reward people for work well done, then luxury hotels in exotic locations may be the answer.

However, if you are taking a team away to learn or to re-think your organisation’s future, you will need to be more discerning. There is huge added value in the fact that a dedicated venue offers fewer distractions, people can get on with the job rather than being tempted to indulge themselves.

More than this, on those occasions when you need to step back from daily business to think anew, remember that in times of crisis, great leaders have traditionally ‘gone up into the mountains’. They have deliberately sought out conditions that enable them to reflect deeply, to think new thoughts, to return with new insights – to refresh the soul, the heart and the mind.

It would be foolish to bow to the idea that going away may be ’sending the wrong message’ if what is needed is clarity of purpose and direction, a guiding vision that will inspire people to excel or sound strategies to feed into your business plan. In these circumstances, going away to think is exactly what you need to do. It is in this regard that the right venue can do half the job for you – and a poor choice may unconsciously impoverish your outcomes.

The ideal venue will be dedicated to your group and your process. Quality matters, you need to be comfortable but not indulgent. You need professional workspace, responsive service and good wholesome food and drink. You need a place that flexes to the changing needs of your group as your work progresses. More important, you need a place where people feel safe and secure, so that they can be comfortable letting go and taking risks in mental and emotional domains.

If you can find it, you need a place of your own in beautiful surroundings; secure exclusivity with properly set up work spaces, suitably flexible support and comfort without opulence. The right venue works wonders! This is what has evolved over the years at High Trenhouse.

This specially converted former farmstead is off the beaten track in beautiful unspoiled surroundings and yet easy enough to reach. It has been shaped for its purpose by feedback from countless groups. The hospitality team personally welcomes you and looks after your needs throughout your stay. The office team supports you and handles every detail of your event. Whatever activities you may need are arranged for you. High Trenhouse only ever gives clients exclusive use. Here is a place to which you can return again and again, enjoying dedicated service in wonderful seclusion.

Leisure Groups at High Trenhouse

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

High Trenhouse offers catered group leisure accommodation in the heart of the countryside near Malham in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We welcome groups of all kinds – walking groups, painting holidays, photography courses, yoga retreats, weddings, celebrations and family re-unions.

The Yorkshire Dales are justly famous – upland moors and river valleys provide excellent terrain for walking or touring. For the adventurous there are fine caving areas and challenging rock climbs. Walk north from High Trenhouse and you might not see anyone all day. Walk south and you easily reach the popular village of Malham and a little further, the small market towns of Skipton or Settle, both, incidentally, on the world famous Settle-Carlisle railway.

The Pennine Way passes within a mile along the shores of Malham Tarn and the Pennine Bridleway is also close by. For walking, cycling, trekking, touring the dales, nature studies, painting or just sitting around and reading – High Trenhouse is the ideal venue.
