New Holgate, York, North of England

• A new name for York: New Holgate only opened its doors a short while ago and is a refreshing new addition to York’s luxury hotel scene. The restful boutique hotel occupies an attractive terrace of Grade II-listed Victorian townhouses, and each of the rooms and suites has its own character, though super-comfy Hypnos beds, smart TVs, tea and coffee making facilities and locally-sourced bathroom amenities come as standard – just what you need for a relaxing city break.

• All about brunch: The hotel’s owners have made a commitment to try and source everything locally, so the laid-back breakfast room serves the very best of Yorkshire ingredients with a twist. While all the favourites are there, including the ‘full Yorkshire’, you’ll also find spicy eggs and tomato tartare, with eggs, cheese, ham, black pudding and yogurt all sourced within 40 miles.

• York on foot: The hotel’s in a great setting for exploring the city whilst being just a touch outside of the bustling centre. Most sights are walkable within 30 minutes, including York Minster and a huge range of bars and restaurants, though the hotel also has its own bar and outside courtyard offering fresh juices, freshly roasted coffee, artisan teas and classic cocktails.
