This luxurious spa retreat in the North York Moors is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend getaway. The décor is traditional with comfy leather sofas, chintzy wallpaper and framed prints covering the walls. The suites even come with wood-burning stoves to snuggle up in front of during the cold winter months.

2. 42 the Calls, Leeds

Room at the 42 the Calls has a small wooden work desk, fresh flowers, red and white bed decor and white brick walls

If you prefer to be in the heart of the city centre, perfectly positioned for restaurants, shops and bars, then 42 the Calls could be the perfect hotel for you. Housed inside an 18th-century flour mill, the boutique hotel makes use of the building’s original features while featuring a collection of contemporary furniture that keeps everything looking modern. Choose from a variety of rooms and suites, including the particularly impressive penthouse suite that features striking original beams.

3. Stow House, Leyburn

Boutique Hotel

Room at Stow House has large double bed, wooden floors, a standalone bath tub and a fireplace

Located in the middle of the countryside in Wensleydale, this romantic hotel is perfect for getting away from it all. Seemingly designed for couples (there are no twin rooms), there are free-standing baths and huge rain showers in each suite with love seats and four-poster beds adding to the romantic ambiance. The décor effortlessly fuses traditional English country house interiors with more eclectic elements such as fun pug cushions, vibrant statement furniture and interesting artworks.

5. Swinton Bivouac, Ilton

Boutique Hotel, Glamping

If you like the treat of staying in a boutique hotel in Yorkshire but are looking for something a little different, Swinton Bivouac could be the perfect place. Located near Masham in the Yorkshire Dales, this is glamping at its finest with a collection of yurts and wooden lodges to choose from. All the accommodations have running water, wood burners and comfortable beds, but there’s no electricity, and the yurts have shared bathrooms. It might not be the height of luxury, but it’s definitely the right way to combine boutique accommodation with a countryside retreat.

Eco Hotel, Cabin

The stylish living rooms are all designed around the glass-front of the buildings, offering spectacular vistas of the surrounding landscapes, while wooden decks offer the perfect place to sit and relax during the warmer months.
