Flamborough Glamping and Vineyard offers the best of what Yorkshire has to offer and is the perfect place for a weekend staycation.
Situated in between the wild East Yorkshire heritage coast and the tranquil village of Flamborough, this family-run glamping site offers astonishing coastal views in a luxurious setting.
The site consists of eight glamping pods offering you a home away from home, all furnished to the highest quality and situated metres apart from each other ensuring ultimate privacy and tranquility.

Each pod consists of a comfortable double bed, a spacious en-suite bathroom with a top of the range shower and a fully functional kitchen with all the relevant utensils to cook up a storm.
There's even a pull-out sofa bed if you wish to bring two other quests, making it the perfect choice for a couples break or a family friendly holiday. Looking to bring your furry friend? Half of the pods allow pets whom are guaranteed to enjoy the coastal walks just as much as you.

A day or two here promises a well-deserved opportunity for respite and relaxation on the beautiful Yorkshire coast.
Picture this: you set off on a long country walk, breathing in the fresh sea air and taking in the dramatic views of the white cliffs of Flamborough, to then stop off at an old country pub for a bite to eat.
Walking back to your pod through the vineyard you're surrounded by 7,500 vines which you can then overlook on your private terrace enjoying a glass of wine whilst the sun goes down.
We can't think of a more perfect way to spend a weekend, can you?
Here you will find no stress and no worries, just the nature, sea and the seasons which you can enjoy with your loved ones. If you're after a bit of excitement you are free to explore the nearby, quaint seaside towns which are only a stones throw away.

Having only opened in Spring 2021, the site has been constantly fully booked by nature lovers who only have glowing words to say about their stay. Prices are more than reasonable for the level of quality and personal care and attention you will receive. We are itching to book ourselves in for a night or two only to press pause and gaze at the breathtaking views that good old Yorkshire has to offer.
The Good Food Guide has just released its list of the 100 best local restaurants in Britain – and three Leeds spots have made the list.
The latest edition of the Best 100 Local Restaurants list celebrates the very best venues that are loved by their communities.
A team of reviewers and inspectors scour the country to find the best of the best, and this year three restaurants in Leeds have earned themselves a place on the numbered list.
One in particular has been included just three months after opening.

The Smithfield opened in April taking over the old Reliance space on North Street, and it's safe to say they had very big shoes to fill.
But they have done with ease, celebrating Yorkshire produce to a crowd that are overjoyed to see the space being brought back to life.

Here's what the Good Food Guide had to say after awarding The Smithfield with 80th place: "Opening in one of the city’s most hallowed restaurant sites was always going to invite comparison. In its day, the Reliance was a much-loved neighbourhood haunt that became the gateway drug for a generation of Leeds foodies, and a return to its burgundy paint job was a statement of intent from its new owners.
"Head chef James Donovan's CV includes Clerkenwell's Rochelle Canteen, and you don't have to do much dusting to see the Fergus and Margot Henderson's nose-to-tail fingerprints: pig's head, ox heart, hogget, and a meritocratic approach to the menu with produce leading the way – occasionally nudged along by a well-timed dollop of gribiche or a slick of bisque."

Elsewhere on the list, it won't come as a surprise to see that the ever-so-brilliant Bavette has been crowned in 16th place. Described as a "convivial neighbourhood bistro in the northerly suburb of Horsforth" that perfectly exudes a "Franco-Yorkshire alliance".
And lastly for Leeds, the ultra-cool Empire Cafe takes spot 31 where "owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton have done a grand job here, rekindling the nostalgia while making the place feel emphatically of the moment, 'high-class yet down-to-earth'."
It's a trio of great wins for Leeds' foodie scene, and you can read the full list here.
