About Vyner
A fine period apartment based in a grand hall that has played host to some very royal guests…Stay in the Yorkshire hall where Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother once resided. This two-bedroom apartment sits in Fountains Hall and displays fine historic detailing. Discover period features in all its rooms, from the oak doors to the wood panelling, as well as fine views over the Yorkshire countryside.
It’s based in the grounds of World Heritage Site, Fountains Abbey, which you’ll have free access to during your stay. The hall also has a summerhouse and walled garden for you to relax in.
Vyner is an ideal base for anyone looking to explore the spectacular surroundings of Fountains Abbey and its gardens or slightly further-a-field destinations like York, The Dales and North Yorkshire Moors.
