Cottages in East Yorkshire

The East Riding of Yorkshire, or East Yorkshire for short, is a coastal holiday destination you simply won’t want to leave, especially when you find the perfect self-catering holiday cottage. If the coast calls, a cottage with sea views could be the answer, inviting you to soak up the fresh sea air during your stay. Or, if it’s rural charm that takes your fancy, the Yorkshire Wolds promise a dreamy setting for your next adventure. Fill your days with breathtaking stomps across the rolling countryside, before lighting the fire and curling up in front of its flickering flames.

If it’s luxury you seek, perhaps a hot tub beneath the stars is your idea of heaven? Or enjoying some lengths of a swimming pool? Whether you’re drawn to a beautiful open-plan barn, a stone cottage with an enclosed garden, or a pet-friendly, upcycled railway carriage, our Yorkshire escapes invite you to make the most of East Riding and all it offers. Read more
