6 of the best places to stay in Yorkshire

Yurtshire

Sleeps: up to 4

Where: Ripon

Price: from £130.00 per night

Dog-friendly: Yes

Whether you choose to be nestled among the trees or spread out across the meadows, your private yurt is completely self-contained with its own kitchenette, ensuite bathroom, terrace area and, of course, offers glamping with hot tub perks.

And if that isn’t quite enough relaxation for you, pop along to the onsite wellness studio, Spa Treatment Yurt and outdoor sauna, all of which radiate natural bliss. Soak away your stresses under a canopy of woodland and choose from a variety of treatments that all promise to banish any lingering tension for good.

And for the more adventurous, Yurtshire has started offering access to onsite ice baths and cold-water swimming sessions in the nearby Eavestone Lake, to help you refresh mind and body whilst reconnecting with nature.

As one of the UK’s top hotels – and one of the only 5 star hotels in Yorkshire – The Grand promises a luxurious getaway you’ll never forget.

From its indulgent spa to its array of hospitality hotspots, guests at The Grand are guaranteed to experience the epitome of elegance during their stay.

The rooms here exude grandeur and comfort, promising couples, families, groups or solo travellers a relaxing and refined staycation.

A jewel in The Grand’s crown is its award-winning cookery school, which offers holidaymakers the chance to become culinary connoisseurs for the day – promising something different from your normal breakaway.

Waingates Farm Huts

Sleeps: 2

Where: Roecliffe

Price: from £390.00 for two nights

Dog-friendly: Yes

We’re talking about the best of both worlds here. All five shepherd’s huts are surprisingly spacious, with underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove to keep the chill at bay, and each has a secluded garden with outdoor seating, a fire pit and a BBQ alongside a wood-burning hot tub, so you and your partner can relax in the great outdoors.

Better still, you’re perfectly positioned to explore. Nearby towns Boroughbridge, Harrogate and Ripon provide plenty of opportunity for a spot of retail therapy, National Trust Yorkshire sites Fountains Abbey and Newby Hall are a short drive away, and Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is only half an hour by car.

It’s not every staycation you get the chance to unwind in a unique, underground home.

But that’s the unforgettable experience that family-friendly holiday site, Shire Stays, promises.

Enter through the large, circular door of these snug underground pods and feel yourself relax as you look out over the rolling countryside on your doorstep.

With easy access to both Whitby and Scarborough, as well as the North York Moors National Park, you’ll never be at a loss for what to do with your days. Although we have a feeling you might struggle to leave this relaxing beachside bolthole…
