What do our guests say?

Log cabins in Yorkshire consistently earn high marks from guests, who highlight the peace and quiet, the comfort of a private hot tub after a day's walking, and the warm welcome from local hosts. Many cabins hold ratings of 9.0 and above, with families praising the extra space and dog owners appreciating the pet-friendly, garden-equipped properties.

1. Explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park

   One of the finest ways to experience the county's countryside is a day in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Follow trails through hills and valleys to reach Malham Cove, a 260-foot limestone cliff made famous as a backdrop in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and cascading waterfalls such as Aysgarth Falls and Cautley Spout, the highest cascade waterfall in England. Underground, the vast chamber of Gaping Gill is one of more than 2,500 caves hidden across the Dales.

2. Wander the gardens at RHS Harlow Carr

   Just outside Harrogate, the RHS Harlow Carr gardens span 58 acres of woodland, meadow and streamside planting that shift with the seasons. Wander the scented garden brimming with roses and lavender, the subtropical borders and the lakeside plantings, then stop for a slice of cake at the on-site Bettys. For couples, the award-winning gardens at nearby Newby Hall, including its romantic rose garden and serene white garden, make a lovely half-day out.

3. Meet the animals at Yorkshire Wildlife Park

   For a family day out, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster is hard to beat. Across 260 acres you'll meet more than 400 animals and 70-plus species, from lions, giraffes and rhinos to polar bears in one of the UK's largest reserves for them. There's also a walk-through experience featuring some of the world's more fearsome insects, plus plenty of playgrounds and picnic spots to keep younger visitors happy all day.

4. Dive into The Deep in Hull

   Down on the waterfront in Hull, The Deep is one of the country's most spectacular aquariums, home to over 5,000 creatures across dozens of exhibits. Walk through crystal-clear tanks to watch sharks, manta rays and gentoo penguins gliding overhead, along with turtles, seahorses and shoals of tropical fish. It's an easy, weatherproof day out and a firm favourite with families staying in cabins within reach of the East Riding coast.

5. Get spooked at the York Dungeon

   For something a little different, the York Dungeon brings the city's darkest history to life with a mix of scares and laughter. Live actors, atmospheric sets and clever special effects guide you through plague, highwaymen and infamous local characters. It's a lively hour in the heart of York, easily combined with a wander along the medieval city walls and The Shambles. It's best suited to older children and adults with a taste for the theatrical.

6. Walk around Bolton Abbey

   The Bolton Abbey estate is one of Yorkshire's most scenic spots, centred on 12th-century priory ruins beside the River Wharfe. More than 30,000 acres of trails and woodland make for gentle riverside strolls or longer hikes, with stepping stones, waterfalls and plenty of picnic spots along the way. The estate is wonderfully dog-friendly, so it pairs perfectly with one of Yorkshire's dog-friendly cottages and cabins if you're travelling with a four-legged companion.

7. Spot wildlife at Nosterfield Nature Reserve

   West of Masham, Nosterfield Nature Reserve is one of Yorkshire's finest, with 150 acres of wet meadow and open water. It's a haven for wildlife, with more than 227 species of bird and 300 species of plant recorded, including orchids and lilies, along with butterflies, dragonflies and moths. Bring binoculars and a camera — the reserve is quiet, uncommercial and rewarding, and an easy detour on the way to or from the Dales.
