If you’re planning on visiting us in colder weather, you might be wondering what there is to do. Worry not – you won’t be bored with lots of freeze-fighting winter activities that will keep you toasty.
Eat something warm
First on our list – you’ve got to eat! Our nearest eatery is Loftsome Bridge, only a mile away from our accommodation. Lovely for an afternoon tea, or call in for dinner or just a drink.
You could visit the many options in York or Hull, but nearby Howden is packed full of pubs, tea rooms and restaurants that will warm your cockles. Have a bite at Kitchen or Bishops Bar, pizza at Luna or Florena’s – or even bring back a takeaway from Minster Fish Bar or Food Express – Howden is heaving with options.

Not bothered by the cold? How about exciting winter sports at Snozone at Xscape in Castleford, or wild swimming at Pool Bridge Farm York?
