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.

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.
One of the rarest cattle breeds in the UK has had calves at Temple Newsam’s farm.
We think this might be the cutest story we've written about all year.
Categorised as ‘priority’ by the Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST), Vaynol cows originate from North Wales and were first established in the late 19th Century.
The herd over at Temple Newsam stems directly from that first herd, having lived there since the 1980’s.

And now, they've welcomed five new calves - and the beautiful new arrivals are just five of 150 animals in the UK.
Vaynols can now be found in five locations in the UK, with Temple Newsam’s Home Farm currently home to one bull, 14 breeding cows, five heifers these amazing new calves.
Richard Aldis, farm manager at Temple Newsam, said: “We’re so thrilled to have welcomed these little ones to the farm.
“The team here works hard to protect these rare breeds that the farm is home to and it’s always wonderful when we can successfully grow the herd. The calves are settling in well and we’re just thinking about names for them.”
Councillor James Gibson, Leeds City Council’s executive member for environment, said: “It’s wonderful to hear the news about these rare little calves being born, it is truly a testament to the important work that is done by the team at Temple Newsam’s Home Farm in preserving these breeds for future generations.
“There is so much for visitors to enjoy at the estate. Alongside the farm and its wonderful animals, people can explore the magnificent Temple Newsam House, enjoy the new bike park, and visit the recently opened play barn. It really is a fantastic day out for the whole family.”
The cult sandwich shop that’s been serving Leeds students since 1994

Whether you're a student or not, Bakery 164 is a Leeds staple.
And you really can't miss it either.
Standing proudly opposite the Parkinson Steps on the corner of Woodhouse Lane, their bright yellow and red canopy lures you in if the inviting smell of fresh bread hasn't already.
They've been serving the students of Leeds since 1994, and are known for their specialist sandwiches that won't break the bank.

On a lunchtime you'll have to join the queue of hungry students looking to get their fix, but it's well worth the wait.
The bread is what they do best, every evening they hand mix and hand shape their ciabatta and focaccia dough, which is then baked overnight so it’s fresh out of the ovens in the morning.
Then come the fillings, at Bakery 164 they specialise in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, using seasonal ingredients and local produce wherever possible.

Signature sandwiches include grilled chicken, halloumi and bacon with chilli mayo, prosciutto, mozzarella, pesto and sun-dried tomato as well as meatballs and mozzarella with Reggae Reggae sauce.
A price for a sandwich comes in at around a fiver, and they easily wipe the floor with any meal deal sarnie you can grab from a supermarket round the corner.
Just choose your sandwich, take it to the till and they'll warm it up for you there and then at no extra cost.
And it's not just sandwiches, they've also got fresh coffee on offer to keep you going between lectures as well as a selection of freshly baked cakes and sweet treats.
