Take a trip back in time with a long weekend at this 12th-century cottage on the outskirts of Kildwick, North Yorkshire. Boasting beamed ceilings, mullion windows, and exposed stone walls, this place is full of surprises, offering plenty of traditional design features that’ll make your stay in God’s Own Country one to remember. Come home and curl up in front of the fire or get to work in the fully equipped kitchen, rustling up a delicious home-cooked meal for you and your fellow guests to tuck into at the patio table. When it’s time to explore, you’ll find yourself within touching distance of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, home to some of Yorkshire's most iconic scenery and attractions. Take a trip to Malham Cove, explore the ruins of Pendragon Castle, or go for a guided, late-night walk beneath the stars. Country escapes don't get more magical than that.

About Leeds
Once an old mill city, Leeds is now woven with chic urban neighbourhoods and feels like it’s at the forefront of the Northern revival. You can still see the evidence of Leeds’ days as a Victorian industrial boom-town. The arched Kirkgate Market in ornate splendour – where M&S began life as a fruit and veg stand – is now home to fashion boutiques and cute little delis. A buzzing university...
