The very best places to stay in
Yorkshire
There’s a reason Yorkshire inspires such fierce affection. Vast and varied, this is a county of big skies and bold landscapes, where dramatic moorland meets gentle dales, and historic towns sit alongside windswept coastline. From the heathered expanses of the North York Moors and the honeyed stone villages of the Yorkshire Dales to the sea air of Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire has a rare ability to feel both expansive and deeply grounding. Whether you come for long walks, hearty food, or simply the pleasure of space, it’s a place that stays with you long after you’ve left. See our top Kip tips for the region, below.
We’ve handpicked the kind of stays that help you connect to this land’s storied and inspiring beauty. Whether you’re after a secluded cabin in the hills for a romantic stay, a beautiful base for walking, or a huge house for group holidays, all are chosen for their style, comfort and beautiful settings.

Kip tips
Architecture.
A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, York Minster is one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe, with towering spires, intricate stained-glass windows, and a soaring nave. Climb its tower for panoramic views over the city. We also love Salt Mills (a former textile mill, now a Unesco site) and Fountains Abbey (one of the best-preserved Cistercian monasteries in the country, with elegant water gardens).
Must visit.
Haworth Fell is a network of wild, heather-covered hills and moor, surrounding the village of Haworth in West Yorkshire. This rugged landscape was immortalised by the Brontë sisters’ work —Charlotte, Emily, and Anne – and you can visit their former home, now a museum. Walk up to Top Withens, too; a lonely, ruinous farmhouse with sweeping views of the misty moors, thought to be inspiration for Wuthering Heights.
With kids.
Dalby Forest is a dream for families with miles of family-friendly trails, an adventure playground, and the chance to explore the forest by bike, foot, or even on horseback. Harry Potter fans will love a trip to The Shambles, a medieval gem with narrow, overhanging buildings that tilt towards each other, thought to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley
Foodie treat.
The Star Inn in Harome. This Michelin-starred pub has been serving up local produce for years, but the real star is the Yorkshire Blue—a rich, tangy cheese you can only find here.
Best activity.
Climb Malham Cove. This stunning limestone cliff isn’t just a beautiful sight—it’s an incredible place to hike up. You’ll be rewarded with panoramic views over the valley below.
Secret Kip tip.
The Farndale Daffodil Walk in spring is magical, with wild daffodils carpeting the valley floor in a sea of yellow (part of the North York Moors).
