A winter break has its own magic! With the countdown to the festive season underway, why not embrace the beauty of the winter season in a picturesque setting. Imagine strolling along the windswept beach, feeling the crisp air on your face and hearing the waves crash against the shore. Or wander through the frosted woodland, the trees adorned with a delicate layer of snow, creating a breathtaking winter wonderland.

For the environmentally conscious travellers, at many of our B&Bs, sustainability isn’t just a goal, it’s a way of life. Congratulations to our ‘B&B of the Month’, The Wold Cottage, winner of the ‘Remarkable B&B and Guest House of the Year’ category at The Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTAs) ceremony. This stunning Georgian manor house located in the charming village of Wold Newton, sits majestically in 200 acres of stunning Wold land. The owners are passionate about sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint. Powered by a biomass boiler and solar power, it’s a shining example of environmental responsibility. Over the past two years,10 acres of woodland, have been planted, creating new habitats for wildlife and contributing to environmental conservation efforts. Guests are welcome to explore the magnificent gardens and estate. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled to spot the Curlew, Corn Bunting, Lapwing, and Yellow Hammer, four endangered bird species in the UK.
