Valentine’s Day might fall on a Monday this year, but that’s just an excuse to celebrate a season of romance for more than one weekend.
Yorkshire’s natural beauty and warm hospitality are the perfect setting for romantic getaways, spending quality time with loved ones for a few days and enjoying the warm hospitality in this beautiful part of the UK. Here, the Good Hotel Guide shares 10 of their top romantic hotels in Yorkshire.
On a peaceful village green, The Alice Hawthorn is a stylishly revamped Grade II-listed country pub between York and Harrogate. A destination in its own right, it is run by Chef/patron John Topham, whose seasonal menus of elevated, Yorkshire-influenced pub food are a real treat to experience. There are rooms above the pub as well as in newly built Douglas-fir outbuildings. Close by you will find a ferry, which can take you upriver to the National Trust’s Beningbrough Hall for a day out. Charming and understated, it’s a lovely place for a romantic trip, spending quality time together enjoying beautiful surroundings and excellent meals.
Five minutes from the centre of York, Bar Convent is in a Grade I listed building with a magnificent glass-roofed entrance hall to introduce you to a spotless guesthouse. It is located in what’s said to be England’s oldest active convent, having been founded in 1686. A cultural experience on another level, there is also a garden to visit for peace and quiet after all your sightseeing.
A Cesar winner and a favourite of Good Hotel Guide inspectors, Brocco on the Park is a light and spacious Scandi chic hotel in a spruced up red brick building. The interiors are contemporary with accents of bright colour in the rooms and food is served by candlelight in the evenings with a rich menu of elegant favourites.
On a Georgian estate surrounded by a walled garden and with acres of gardens, The Coach House at Middleton Lodge is an enchanting place to stay. Owners, James and Rebecca, have turned the grounds of the family home into a true retreat. Former stables, a farmhouse and outbuildings have been transformed into chic bedrooms, some with a private patio. It is particularly well known for its food including a taster menu-only dining room and lavish breakfasts.
