Should you be staying in one of the dog-friendly accommodations, The Castle Arms pub in the village welcomes your four-legged friends and serves meals, but if you prefer to whip something up at home, there is a small farm shop, Carricks, which is open Tuesdays to Saturdays. In the nearby town of Bedale a public leisure centre, cafés, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, a Post Office, cashpoints, supermarkets and golf club, an array of takeaways, and tourist information centre, so though you will feel the peace and tranquillity of the Snape Castle Holiday Homes, a little bit of hustle and bustle is just a short drive away. The surroundings include the wonderful Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre, where you can have an idyllic stroll viewing some rare trees as well as seeing some rare animals. Venture further afield for a group day out by going to Ripon to see the exhibits at the Ripon Workhouse Museum, try out some rides at the Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park, or take in the pretty views of the Ripon Spa Gardens. In Harmby, go for a serene walk to check out the picturesque Harmby Waterfall, visit Middleham Castle to see the remains of Richard III's childhood home, or go to The Forbidden Corner to see the walled gardens. Perhaps make your way to Darlington to see the interactive railway museum, Hopetown Darlington, see a show for some entertainment at the Hippodrome, or amble through the market hall for something to buy.
