Lodge Breaks in York 

With a spectacular Gothic minster, museums galore and cosy riverside pubs, York is a big-hitting attraction any time of year. Whether you’re after a city break or hoping to explore the North York Moors, booking a lodge holiday gives you the freedom to visit out of season, meet up with family and friends, travel solo or bring the dogs. 

If you fancy a break in a shepherd’s hut with Ryedale views or a cosy pod close to hiking adventures on the Minster Way, read on to find out where to stay and what else to do around York.

Where you should stay in York

  • Is York a good base for family lodge holidays? Well, yes. Definite hits with the kids include Jorvik Viking Museum, free tastings at York’s Chocolate Story and Harry-Potter type wizardry at The Potions Cauldron. For a day of thrills and spills on high-octane rides, treat them to a day out at Flamingoland, a theme park near Pickering

  • There are so many places to exercise your dogs around York that there’s no need to leave them behind. Try the Knavesmire meadows or meanders along the River Ouse banks – and you can take them on ghostly guided walks after dark. Pick a dog-friendly York lodge and your canine chums can enjoy outings over the North York Moors too.

  • If you’re looking for a couples-only break, York is a thoroughly romantic city, with loads of opportunities for getting away from the crowds. Perhaps take a picnic to Museum Gardens, hire a boat to cruise the River Ouse or walk around the ancient Roman walls. Use our filters to look out for adults-only lodges if you'd like to be sure of a peaceful child-free setup.

  • Picking a comfy lodge means you’ve got some protection against the fickle weather, and that means that booking a York lodge out of season is a great plan. The city-centre crowds will have gone, you’ll get a seat on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway steam train and the beaches at Filey and Whitby will be empty for bracing winter walks. 

  • Want to narrow down your options for a York lodge break even further? Some lodge sites come with their very own fishing ponds, while avid anglers can try their hand at casting in the River Ouse. If fly fishing is more your style, consider basing yourself further north around Masham for the trout and salmon in the River Ure.

What you can do in York

  • Eat your way around the city, from cosy tea shops selling Yorkshire Rascal cakes to takeaways offering delicious filled Yorkshire puddings. The city has a sprinkling of award-winning destination restaurants too. 

  • Take a (free) guided tour of York Minster or climb 275 stone steps to the top of the tower for spectacular views over the city. If you’d like to explore further afield, don’t forget the equally lovely Beverley Minster.

  • If you’d like to take home a souvenir of your trip, look no further than the pretty boutiques in The Shambles – the city’s oldest street – for candles named after York landmarks or York-distilled gins.

  • Whatever your interests are, chances are you’ll find a museum in York to match. Train buff? Head straight for the National Railway Museum. Love Tudor architecture? The Barley Hall is the place for you – and if you’re keen to follow in the footsteps of the nation's favourite TV vet, take a side trip to The World of James Herriot in Thirsk.
