#LifeatExpedia

The Ribblehead Viaduct (aka Batty Moss Viaduct), which carries the Settle to Carlisle railway, Yorkshire Dales, UK (Apr 2013).

Deep inside the wonderful Yorkshire Dales. Part of the Settle to Carlisle Railway .

The viaduct was designed by engineer, John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. One thousand navvies built the viaduct and established shanty towns on the moors for themselves and their families. The ITV series Jericho took its inspiration from the construction of this viaduct.

3 night stay in January 2026, Great location just off Deansgate at the shopping end. Nice decor, modern and funky. Staff very friendly. Easy check in. Room was very clean and serviced each day... tea coffee etc in room. Cocktail bar was relaxed and pleasant place at the end of the day. Breakfast choice was very good. Would recommend and stay again. Thanks Treehouse Team!

Great room, beautiful breakfast. Check in was a bit hectic as there were 2 people complaining about things that hadn’t been rectified before the rush at 4pm. Felt like our check in was rushed and not much info was given (eg use key card in lift, breakfast times, how to reserve a breakfast time etc). Shampoo, shower gel and handwash really good stuff, could’ve done with a conditioner but no big deal. Hairdryer was great! Overall fantastic stay, just knocked a star off due to check in.
