About Yorkshire

The United Kingdom is a relatively small island, but within this small area Yorkshire is big. It’s the UK’s largest county, at about half the size of Belgium, and includes some truly awe-inspiring scenery, encompassing the rolling Yorkshire Dales and the brooding North York Moors, as well as acres of green and pleasant countryside, and a varied and dramatic coastline. With this varied landscape comes a wealth of accommodation options and the best places to stay in Yorkshire range from smart city pads in York and Leeds, to charming rural guesthouses, fantastic pubs with rooms and top notch restaurants with rooms.

Some of our Yorkshire Collections:

Yorkshire’s towns and cities have plenty of appeal for visitors, from beautiful, medieval York to lively Leeds and Sheffield, and you’ll find plenty of recommendations in the big centres on our list of the best places to stay in Yorkshire too. We've also tracked down great hotels in the handsome market towns like Helmsley, and Victorian spa towns like Harrogate.

Yarm is a good place to stay for the North Yorkshire Moors and for access to neighbouring County Durham. If you want to get to know the Yorkshire Dales, we think you'll find the best places to stay in Yorkshire in either Richmond or Skipton, both charming towns with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. Scarborough is Yorkshire’s primary seaside address, with historical sites, beautiful beaches and natural spring waters to its credit, but if you're hoping to explore the North Yorkshire Coast it's Whitby that will make the best base.

The Best Places to Stay in Yorkshire

For a country house escape

The Devonshire Arms Country House Hotel and Spa was once a coaching inn on the Duke of Devonshire’s Bolton Abbey Estate, but is now a 40 room country house hotel with a very nice spa. It’s set in lush green parklands and gardens, and its 40 rooms and suites are beautifully decorated in a range of country chic styles and colours. Each has been individually designed — there are a couple with four-poster beds, and some lovely antiques. The restaurant has 3 AA Rosettes and a great reputation for special occasion elegance.
Stow House is a large country vicarage in receipt of a recent makeover into a seven room bed and breakfast. Its chic, light-filled rooms feature exposed wooden beams and an eclectic collection of antique and vintage furnishings. Its views over Wensleydale are hard to beat.
Crathorne Hall Hotel is a 37 room country house hotel just outside Yarm, convenient for the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and Durham Cathedral. It looks old and grand, with its pillars, double height ceilings, and huge hearths, but it was built in 1905, and features all the mod cons including a 2 AA Rosette restaurant. The grounds extend to 15 paacres of rural peace and charm. A popular wedding venue.
On the outskirts of York, just two miles from the city centre, Middlethorpe Hall & Spa is a 17th century mansion owned by the National Trust. It has a pampering spa, with a large pool, sauna, steam room, a hot tub, and a range of treatments. And there's an award-winning 2AA Rosette restaurant.

For a rural retreat

The Traddock is a cosy Georgian country house hotel in stunning countryside on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. All of its 12 rooms and suites are individually designed and decorated, some with roll-top baths; our favourite rooms have views over the beautiful gardens and the Dales beyond. The organic restaurant has won several awards.

For walkers

The Pheasant is a 12 room hotel just outside Helmsley, on the southern tip of the North York Moors. The building was originally a blacksmith’s workshop, and is arranged around a central courtyard. One of the buildings now houses an indoor pool, and another has two pet-friendly rooms. Some of the rooms are ideal for families too. The restaurant is an award-winner, lauded for its wild and foraged produce.

Great pubs-with-rooms

The Angel Inn near Skipton, is a cosy, former crofter’s cottage turned pub-with-rooms, right amongst the scenery of the Yorkshire Dales. There are just five rooms and four suites, all comfortable and modern, quite a juxtaposition with the quaint, traditional pub with its nooks and crannies. There’s a fabulous restaurant where you can find Michelin starred dining!
The Wensleydale Heifer is an award-winning restaurant-with-rooms with 14 individually decorated and unusually themed bedrooms. There’s the James Herriot Room, 007, Chocolate Heaven, the Black Sheep, Night at the Movies and the Champagne suite, to name a few. The restaurant is excellent but if you fancy something a bit less fussy there’s also a less formal fish bar.
The Punch Bowl Inn in the pretty village of Low Row, 30 minutes drive from Richmond, is a charming 17th century coaching inn with 11 stylish rooms and fantastic views of the Yorkshire Dales.
A relaxed, no nonsense, pub with rooms, the White Swan Inn, is an updated 16th Century coaching inn in a prime Pickering location, overlooking the market square. There are 21 rooms, the best being the ‘Vintage Rooms’ which are charmingly traditional.

For romantics

The Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa began life as a coaching inn in the centre of Helmsley, just around the corner from themarketplace. Its impressive courtyard now has a sunny terrace and a heated pool around which are the 33 rooms and suites, decorated in country pastels. Those in the main building are more county chic, and those in the outbuildings more contemporary. The restaurant serves an unpretentious Modern British menu.
If you’re a fan of the romance of the Bronte sisters then Ashmount Country House, a five star hotel converted from their home, is perfect. The twelve rooms are elegant, with four-poster beds, chandeliers and fireplaces; some have private terraces and hot tubs. There’s also a superb restaurant championing locally sourced produce.
The White Hart Hotel is an impressive, Grade II listed Georgian house in the smartest quarter of Harrogate, with 61 spacious, elegant rooms, decorated in a range of styles from contemporary to traditional. It has two restaurants — one relaxed and one fine dining.
Wrea Head Hall is a grand, Gothic mansion, set on beautiful grounds on the edge of the North York Moors National Park. The hotel has 18 rooms and suites, all individually decorated. If it’s a special occasion we recommend one of the four-poster rooms, or one with a free-standing bath. The communal areas are charming, also decorated with antiques, and the fine dining restaurant operates in the original, wood-panelled dining room.

For families

The Devonshire Fell Hotel is the Devonshire Arms’ more casual little sister, a Victorian-built, 16 room hotel with great family suites, vibrant, colourful decor and spectacular views of the surrounding Fells. There are great walks straight from the hotel door, and you’re only about ten minutes drive from Bolton Abbey, and pretty Grassington. Guests also have access to the spa facilities at The Devonshire Arms.
Swinton Park Hotel in Masham is a luxurious castle with a relaxed atmosphere and 200 beautiful acres of gardens and grounds. It has 31 large, chic rooms and suites, including some well laid out family suites, and a huge range of activities on offer, including archery, croquet, cycling, and cooking lessons in their cooking school.
The Lister Arms is a very affordable, nine bedroom coaching inn on the Pennine Way. It’s well loved by walkers, and its pub and restaurant are popular with the locals. It’s not just welcoming for families, it’s happy to host your pets too. Expect open fires and home cooking.
The Plough at Scalby is a cosy inn on a picturesque stretch of the Yorkshire coast, with a collection of accommodation that includes spacious cottages as well as rooms and suites above the pub and restaurant. The rooms in the inn have a country romance to their decor, with cosy, heather-coloured rugs, four-poster beds and stand-alone baths. The restaurant offers classic pub fare in a friendly atmosphere.

For great value

Whitby’s The White Horse and Griffin is a 17th century coaching inn tucked in just behind the abbey. There are ten quirkily shaped rooms with a surprisingly fresh finish, plus a bistro menu and a guest list which has included Charles Dickens and Captain James Cook.
Bike & Boot is a fun-feeling contemporary hotel overlooking Scarborough’s South Bay. Expect Scandi style blond furnishings, contemporary art work, and a cosy, friendly feel. They have a place for your bike, your surfboard, your muddy boots, and your dog, and they’re all about helping you find the local outdoor adventure to suit you. Great for families too.

Best b&bs

Tall Storeys is a charmingly chintzy, seven room B&B within walking distance of many of Scarborough’s highlights. The rooms are spread over several floors, and are decorated with antiques and original features, including ornate fireplaces and four-poster beds.
