The very best places to stay in
Northern England is a tapestry of dramatic landscapes and lively cities, where industrial heritage meets stunning wilderness. From the soaring peaks of the Lake District and the rugged Pennines to the vast moorlands of Yorkshire and the charming coastlines of Northumberland, there is endless adventure for those who seek it and stories for all who visit.
The cities are cultural hubs too — Manchester’s music scene and vibrant street art; Leeds’ mix of old mills and contemporary galleries; Newcastle’s riverside buzz. And scattered through it all are market towns, country pubs and hidden corners that feel a world away from the urban hum. See our top Kip tips for the region, below.
Whether you’re hiking craggy fells, roaming open moorland or wandering storied streets, Northern England invites you to explore with open arms and a hearty appetite. Here’s where to soak it all up from — romantic off-grid cabins, cosy family cottages and huge country homes.

Curate your Northern England stay
Must do
Climb England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike, in the Lake District — the views from the summit are worth every step.
Best activity
Explore the Yorkshire Dales on foot or by bike, winding through limestone valleys, ancient stone walls and quaint villages.
Secret Kip tip
Discover the lesser-known Northumberland coast, with its empty beaches, dramatic castles and wild landscapes. Try Bamburgh or Seahouses for equal parts peace and history.
