Six Yorkshire holiday cottages for a cosy Valentine’s Day break

A remote stay in the Yorkshire Moors, a secluded cabin near the coast or a room for two in a castle, no matter how you choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day Yorkshire has plenty of getaways on its doorstep. Its diverse natural beauty and market hospitality makes it a perfect place to spend some extra quality time with your ‘someone special’. Whether your idea of romance is hiking in the Yorkshire dales, relaxing in a hot tub or staying in with a glass of wine there’s bound to be something to suit.

Staycations have become popular travel choices for couples not looking to venture too far from home but still want the extra piece of hospitality and venture. Valentine’s Day may fall on a Tuesday this year but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the date to spend a couple of nights away.

Cosy Cave room at Stanhope Castle

Stay the night in the castle groundsStay the night in the castle grounds

This unique stay, in the North Pennines, is nestled in the market town of Stanhope in County Durham. Now it may not officially be in Yorkshire, but it’s near enough that we just had to share.

A two bedroom cottage full of amenities to enjoy a romantic break, with enough space ‘fit for a king’. Its luxuries include a private hot tub and a cinema room style living room. The corridor from the kitchen leads to a ‘cave-like’ living room, with a big screen, armchairs and surround sound speakers.

The Cosy Cave cottage is full of character, a luxury modern stay with hints of traditional archways and stone walls. It makes for a perfect base when exploring the local Wear Valley area. The town of Stanhope has plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops to explore, and a lot of people flock to it for its C2C cycle route.

If you feel like venturing slightly further out during your stay then the City sites of Durham is just over 20 miles away. Price from: GBP479 on Booking.com
