- Come On In Fall In Love With North Yorkshire This Autumn
As the Autumn Equinox marks the turning of the season, North Yorkshire begins to transform into a picturesque haven of warmth and colour. The days grow shorter, the air turns crisp and the landscape bursts into a tapestry of amber, copper and gold. It’s the perfect time to plan a short break, embrace the shifting weather and enjoy life at a slower pace.
This autumn and winter, we invite you to come on in and discover a world where woodland paths crunch underfoot, forest trails call for brisk bike rides and cosy hideaways offer warmth and welcome after days spent exploring. Whether you're seeking solitude, romance, or time away with friends, North Yorkshire is the place for you.
So, where to begin? Let’s uncover some of North Yorkshire’s most charming places to stay, perfect for the ultimate autumn or winter escape.
Wenningdale Escapes – Dales views & stargazing nights
Set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Wenningdale’s lodges offer big views and even bigger skies. Inside, they’re warm, welcoming and thoughtfully designed, ideal for putting your feet up after a day out. Step outside and you’ve got space to breathe, stars overhead and the kind of quiet that helps you switch off. Whether you're out exploring or just taking it slow, this is the kind of place that makes it easy to unwind.
Swinton Park Hotel – country house elegance
Set within a grand estate on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Swinton Park Hotel is all about refined comfort and timeless charm. From plush rooms and roaring fires to afternoon teas and spa treatments, it’s the kind of place where you can truly switch off. Wander the gardens, book a massage, or simply settle in with a good book and a glass of something local. It’s ideal for couples or anyone craving a little luxury with their countryside escape.
Swinton Bivouac – woodland retreat with character
Just a short distance from the main estate, Swinton Bivouac offers a completely different kind of stay, rustic, off-grid and full of character. Think hand-built tree lodges, candlelit yurts and woodland walks right from your doorstep. It’s peaceful, simple and perfect for those who want to unplug and reconnect with nature. Whether you're hiking, stargazing or just enjoying the quiet, it's the perfect place to reset, recharge and reconnect.
Cliff House Holiday Cottages – fireside comfort and countryside calm
Located in a peaceful village between the North York Moors and the coast, Cliff House offers a collection of cosy, character-filled cottages that make a great base for exploring. You’re close to moorland walks, seaside adventures and charming market towns, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to enjoy quiet evenings by the fire. With thick stone walls, soft throws and countryside views, it’s a place that feels both tucked away and perfectly placed.
Keldy Cabins, Forest Holidays – let nature set the pace
Hidden among towering trees, these forest cabins offer a true back-to-nature experience without sacrificing comfort. Wake to birdsong, sip coffee on your deck as mist rolls through the woods and spend your evenings soaking in a private hot tub beneath a canopy of stars. Whether you're cycling through forest paths or simply unwinding by the fire, it’s a peaceful retreat made for quiet moments and time together.
Cropton Cabins, Forest Holidays - escape to the forest
Tucked into a quiet corner of the forest, these cabins offer a peaceful escape into nature without leaving comfort behind. Mornings start with light filtering through the trees and the gentle rustle of the forest waking up around you. Spend your day exploring nearby trails or relaxing with a good book, then unwind in your private hot tub as evening falls. It’s a peaceful retreat for anyone looking to press pause and reconnect with nature.
