Much loved Yorkshire, the former largest county in England was divided into it north, south, east and west sections for easier management. People love its rugged countryside, the stone buildings and dry stone walls, the two national parks and the coast. Holiday homes abound in rural, town and coastal areas.

The decisions made in finding holiday accommodation in Yorkshire

Small self-catering properties in Yorkshire

Holidaymakers planning a few days in Yorkshire in August tend to tackle booking a cottage holiday one of two ways depending on the group size. Couples and small groups have the easiest task of finding somewhere to stay in Yorkshire because there is a seemingly unlimited choice of accommodation from which a short list can be selected depending on budget, the appeal of the interior styling, whether or not there is a garden, parking off the street or dogs allowed. One, two and three bedroom properties can be found in almost every part of Yorkshire. Naturally, people may have a definite destination in mind, perhaps the Yorkshire coast, especially in August, or more specifically one of the seaside towns such as Whitby, Filey or Scarborough. The final decision on where to book a cottage is often a compromise between budget, looks, facilities, places of interest nearby, and gut instinct.

Filey

Large group holiday accommodation

View large self-catering properties in Yorkshire to rent during August

Large groups may not have quite the same freedom to choose a specific area. There may be the plan for a walking holiday in the Yorkshire Dales or even specific walks from Hawes, however, the limited number of large group accommodations tends to demand some compromise. Walking clubs often opt for good value budget accommodation that allows every member to afford the holiday. There are also more luxurious large group self-catering houses that offer a higher standard and greater comfort at a higher rental rate. August is a month with peak demand in Yorkshire - everyone wants to visit to enjoy the best of scenery and weather.

Satisfying precise self-catering holiday conditions

It is good to begin with a list of requirements before conducting a search into possible holiday cottages in Yorkshire. There is no point in trawling through hundreds of cottage records if you definitely want an accommodation with a swimming pool or hot tub. Search for places to stay in Yorkshire with those facilities and if they prove to be unavailable, you may have to either throw the net wider and consider counties bordering Yorkshire or settle for the next best cottages on offer.

Yorkshire holiday homes with flexible start days and short breaks

Other booking factors may also cause difficulties. Owners of holiday cottages like to obtain weekly lettings because it fits in with the hiring of cleaning staff and generally makes the bookings management simpler. However, the high demand for August breaks, short breaks generally and the flexibility and lower pricing of mid-week breaks also adds to the difficulty in finding a suitable holiday home in Yorkshire to book. Increasing numbers of cottage owners in Yorkshire and elsewhere are responding to the demand for very short breaks all year round and offer this facility. Large houses in Yorkshire can often be booked for one or two nights which is perfect for weekends away.
