York Holidays

York may have strong Viking and Roman roots but it’s very much a modern city. Within its ancient city walls there are lots of things to see and do whether you’re staying for the weekend or enjoying a longer break. Family attractions include The York Dungeon, an immersive experience where you can see, hear and smell 2000 years of the city’s history. It’s a similar story at the famous Jorvik Viking Centre where you can imagine how the norsemen lived in the time of the vikings.

York Minster is one of the most iconic buildings in the city and visitors are welcome to view its impressive interior which includes stunning medieval works in stained glass. York is also home to the National Railway Museum where a number of fascinating rail carriages are on display as well as the world’s fastest steam locomotive. The city is also bursting with great places to eat and drink from Michelin-rated bistros to quaint pubs where you can enjoy a well-earned pint of the Yorkshire brewed Sam Smith’s beer.

Cottage Holidays will have exactly what you’re looking for, from a picturesque rural cottage to a contemporary townhouse in the heart of the action. Some properties even come with little extras like a hot tub or games rooms, and many are also pet-friendly too. Want to explore more of North Yorkshire?
