Yorkshire Guide

Yorkshire's cottages with hot tubs offer the perfect base for exploring England's largest county. From the wild North York Moors to the rolling Yorkshire Dales, you'll find properties ranging from cosy one-bedroom hideaways to grand group accommodation sleeping 20+.

The region boasts impressive visitor attractions including York Minster (4.5/5 on TripAdvisor) and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (4.5/5). Many cottages sit within easy reach of Yorkshire's three National Parks, making them ideal for walkers and cyclists.

Did you know that Yorkshire was home to the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin? He was captured at the Black Swan Inn in York in 1739 before being hanged for horse theft.

Self-catering cottages give you freedom that hotels can't match. Cook your own meals, bring your dog and enjoy your own private hot tub without sharing with strangers. Yorkshire also offers glamping pods and converted barns for something different.

Sightseeing

Yorkshire packs in more variety than you might expect. I always tell friends to plan extra days because there's so much to see. The medieval city of York should be top of your list with its magnificent Minster (YO1 7HH, open Mon-Sat 9am-4:30pm, Sun 12:45pm-3:15pm) scoring 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

The Yorkshire coast offers classic seaside towns like Whitby (famous for its Abbey and Dracula connections) and Scarborough with its two bays. We recommend Whitby Abbey (YO22 4JT) which scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor and offers stunning views across the harbour.

For landscape lovers, the Yorkshire Dales National Park has limestone formations at Malham Cove and the impressive three-stepped waterfall of Aysgarth Falls (DL8 3TH) scoring 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. After a day exploring, nothing beats returning to your cottage for a dip in the hot tub!

Pet Friendly

Yorkshire ranks among the UK's most dog-friendly counties. Many pubs welcome four-legged visitors - The Black Swan in Helmsley (YO62 5BJ) even offers dog treats at the bar. We've found most Yorkshire cottage owners understand that dogs are part of the family.

The North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales provide endless walking opportunities. Dalby Forest (YO18 7LT) has specific dog-friendly trails marked out. Dogs are allowed on most Yorkshire beaches, though some have summer restrictions. Filey Beach allows dogs year-round on the northern section.

For rainy days, The Station at Richmond (DL10 4LD) is a converted Victorian railway station housing dog-friendly shops and cafés. Many cottages offer secure gardens and some even provide dog beds and bowls - check the listing details before booking.

Top 3 attractions you have to see in Yorkshire

The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (YO18 7TT) lets you experience the golden age of steam travel through 24 miles of stunning moorland. The journey from Pickering to Whitby takes about 2 hours each way. I suggest getting off at Goathland station which doubled as Hogsmeade in the first Harry Potter film. Visitors call it "a magical step back in time" and it scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden (HG4 3DY) combines a magnificent 12th-century ruined abbey with Georgian water gardens. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and the abbey ruins are among the most complete in England. Open daily 10am-5pm (winter hours vary). One visitor wrote: "The most peaceful place I've ever visited" and it scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park (DN4 6TB) near Doncaster houses over 400 animals including polar bears, lions and the UK's only giant pandas. The 175-acre park focuses on conservation and animal welfare. Open daily from 10am with closing times varying seasonally. Visitors praise the "amazing enclosures" and "incredible animal experiences" giving it 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

When is the best time to visit Yorkshire?

Yorkshire shines in late spring and early autumn. May-June offers long days and blooming countryside without peak summer crowds. September brings harvest festivals and golden colours. That said, a winter break with a hot tub can be brilliant too - imagine watching snow fall while you're toasty warm!

Do I need a car in Yorkshire?

For rural cottages, yes. Public transport exists but services to villages can be limited. Major towns and cities connect well by train, but reaching specific attractions and beauty spots is much easier with your own wheels.

Which part of Yorkshire is best for a cottage holiday?

It depends what you want! The Dales offer dramatic landscapes and walking. The North York Moors provide wilderness and coastal access. West Yorkshire has industrial heritage and cultural sites. South Yorkshire offers easy access to Sheffield and historic houses.

Will I get mobile reception at my cottage?

Coverage varies widely. The Dales and North York Moors have notorious signal black spots. Most cottages now offer WiFi, but check the listing if staying connected matters to you. Some people love the digital detox!

Are hot tub cottages more expensive?

Yes, expect to pay about 15-25% more than for equivalent properties without tubs. The premium is usually lower in winter months except around Christmas and New Year when hot tubs are particularly popular.

What should I pack for a Yorkshire cottage holiday?

Walking boots are essential even if you're not planning serious hikes. The weather changes quickly so bring layers and waterproofs. Swimming costumes for the hot tub, of course! And don't forget binoculars - Yorkshire's wildlife and landscapes deserve a closer look.
