Overview

Today we enjoy a magical visit to the cathedral city of York. Step back into the Middle Ages by visiting the ‘Shambles,’ with its overhanging timber-framed houses, traditional shops and cobbled pathways. Exploring the Christmas market is a must at this time of year; treat yourself to a mulled wine in the alpine bar; find a thoughtful gift in one of the wooden stalls; and soak up the enchanting atmosphere as you wander the illuminated streets. Whilst here, be sure to take in the magnificent York Minster – one of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe.

We return back to the hotel in time for our Christmas dinner, complete with a complimentary glass of wine.

Overview

Relax in Scarborough, or why not join our optional excursion to the Whitby? Famed for its associations with Dracula, Whitby's quaint town centre and harbour are overlooked by the dramatic ruins of the beautiful Abbey, and its quirky cobbled streets are lined with shops and cafés.

We continue to call at Goathland, a pretty village nestled in the heart of the North York Moors. The village was made famous by the TV series Heartbeat and more recently the Harry Potter films, as Goathland station is used as the set location for 'Hogsmeade'.

We return to the hotel for a festive cream tea.

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

My husband and I have had several holidays with Shearings and find them a first rate company, they are always wonderfully polite and helpful and do everything within their power to give you a fantastic holiday! We love travelling with them and have already booked a few more holidays in the near future!
