■■Yorkshire welcomed the timely opening of brand-new hotel Sandburn Hall last month.

Set on a 1,000 acre estate, with a golf course on the doorstep, the four-star property is located just 15 minutes east of historic York.

And the glorious North York moors and the resort towns of Scarborough and Whitby are 40 minutes away.

Many of the 40 rooms (including two suites with pencil four-poster beds) overlook lakes and open countryside, which is reflected in the hotel’s design. In a barn conversion, Tykes restaurant offers a theatre kitchen – after choosing from the menu, diners can watch their meal being prepared.
