Jane’s Cottage is prettily set amongst the oldest and quaintest cottages in the village around the church. It is tucked away from passing traffic whilst still being in the heart of the village with its teashops, pubs, restaurant and village shop. It has probably one of the best views of the village that you will find. This is an attractive and unusually spacious cottage which will suit those looking for a quiet location, yet with all of the village amenities close at hand.

Jane’s Cottage has a small entrance porch with space for coats and boots, off which is the beamed sitting room with Georgian window which floods the cottage with light. There are two very comfortable mahogany framed settees and an armchair to relax in front of the cosy open fire, along with an oak TV/video unit, nest of tables and bookcase. Here you will find abundant tourist information and local guide books, along with DVDs, books and games for your entertainment. Off the lounge is the spacious Shaker Style slate flagged dining kitchen, with oak dining table and chairs, perfect for a romantic meal for two or a meal with family or friends. From here a door leads out to the lovely alpine style garden which is a real haven, with a covered arbour, garden furniture and a large parasol. There are two bikes provided for your use, plus additional storage should you wish to bring your own bikes. The owners have provided a gas BBQ so that you can make the most of the garden during your stay.

Upstairs there is a fabulous beamed king sized room, again with the stunning views across and up the village, with king sized bed, and an antique pine triple wardrobe and dressing table-this bedroom is a real treat. There is a further twin room with antique pine wardrobe, looking out over the garden, and a house bathroom with bath with power shower over, WC, washbasin and electric shaver point.

Cultural life in Yorkshire is blooming like never before. Take in a film at the Bradford International Film Festival showing some of the finest movies from across the world, marvel at the spectacular dance productions from the Northern Ballet Theatre and visit the fascinating David Hockney 1853 Gallery at Salts Mills. We even have some world class Opera to entertain from Opera North.

Throughout Yorkshire there are plenty of local fairs and festivals each with their own individual charm. Villages, towns and cities are transformed by colourful celebrations of events such as Chinese New Year, Festival of Food & Drink, which is nationally renowned, and a Roman festival celebrating the areas past where battles are reenacted and even chariot racing can be seen. Plenty more festivals are found throughout the region during the year, so keep your eyes peeled as there is always a festival just around the corner.

Get away from the daily grind of the rat race by heading to over 100 miles of stunning Yorkshire coast line. The varied coastline means that whether you are looking for golden sandy beaches, quite coves, rugged cliffs or picturesque fishing villages, you will find it hard to choose where to go first. Look for fossils on the Dinosaur Coast, take up surfing at a Scarborough surf school or take a relaxing fishing trip from one of the many fishing towns and villages along the coats.

Walk in Dracula’s foot steps when you visit Whitby. Famously Whitby was a location in Bram Stokers Dracula where the count first set foot on English soil. When you visit the town it’s easy to see why Bram Stocker was so inspired and wrote a majority of his book at a local hotel.

There is so much more to do in Yorkshire that you will have to keep coming back just to try and experience it all.
