A Townhouse Hotel

Modern comfort with Georgian charm in the heart of Thirsk

Nestled in the historic market town of Thirsk, 35 Kirkgate is a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse that blends period character with contemporary style. Our boutique guesthouse offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — the perfect base for exploring North Yorkshire and the stunning Yorkshire Dales.

35 Kirkgate has seven individually designed rooms – thoughtfully furnished to ensure a comfortable stay, featuring modern amenities such as en-suite bathrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, quality linens, and smart TVs. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a day at the races, a wedding or even a business trip, you’ll find everything you need for a restful and memorable stay.

Located just steps from Thirsk’s historic marketplace, shops, cafés, and the renowned World of James Herriot museum – 35 Kirkgate is ideally situated for visitors wanting to soak in the charm of this vibrant Yorkshire town. For nature lovers, the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks are within easy reach, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and sightseeing.

At 35 Kirkgate, we take pride in offering more than just a place to stay — we offer a home away from home. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends or family, this timeless setting will ensure a truly enjoyable visit.

Over the years, our family farming business has diversified to include weddings at Thirsk Lodge Barns, stays at 35 Kirkgate, seasonal food experiences from Peckish and we have some further, incredibly exciting future projects planned. Our new brand, Newsham, helps brings these together under one shared name, reflecting the people, places and values that connect everything we do.

From 18th June, you’ll start to see the Newsham name appear alongside Thirsk Lodge Barns. For our couples, however, nothing is changing. The same venue, the same ownership, the same team and the same warm welcome remain at the heart of everything we do.
