May half-term holiday savings in Yorkshire

Head to Yorkshire this May half-term and enjoy savings on a choice of properties courtesy of Yorkshire Cottages.

For example, there's a £60 reduction on a seven-night stay at Holmedale Cottage - a lovely two bedroom, two bathroom property sleeping four (and one pet, at no extra charge) - which means a week from 23 May now costs £350.

Situated in the pretty village of Dalton, the cottage has a lawned garden and is ideally located for visiting Richmond - with its castle, theatre, riverbank walks and leisure facilities - and exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Or for a coastal location, there's a £90 saving at Travellers Rest Farm Cottage which is situated on a working dairy farm (the owner is happy to show guests around) close to the village of Ugthorpe - just a 10-minute field stroll or two miles by car - near Whitby.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom property sleeps up to six (plus a pet - at no extra charge) and has views across open countryside out to sea and is within easy reach of the sandy beaches at Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Sandsend. The revised cost for a week starting 23 May is £520. Travel cot and high chair available.
