The food and wine could not have been more amazing. The live piano played at dinner was priceless. I will fondly remember this place for the rest of my life."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Smardale?
The best time to go to Smardale is during the spring and summer months, specifically from May to September.

This period typically offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the Smardale Gill Viaduct and the surrounding Smardale Nature Reserve. You'll find longer daylight hours, making it ideal for walking, wildlife spotting, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area without the chill of autumn or winter. The paths are generally drier and more accessible, which is a key consideration for visitors planning to spend time outdoors.

Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find these months particularly appealing. The warmer weather allows for leisurely strolls along the disused railway line, picnics by the Scandal Beck, and opportunities to observe the diverse flora and fauna, including rare butterflies and red squirrels. It's a great time for a relaxed, nature-focused break.

For solo travellers seeking quiet reflection and outdoor activity, late spring and early autumn (May-June and September) offer a good balance. The weather is still favourable, but there might be fewer visitors than in the peak summer months of July and August.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Smardale.
How much is the nightly rate at a Smardale hotel?
Prices for hotels in Smardale often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $135 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
