The lavishly decorated suites offer large plush beds, a full mini-bar, in-room dining and access to the luxury spa located in former vaults. Upgrade your stay with a bottle of bubbly and chocolate-covered strawberries waiting upon your arrival or a sprinkling of rose petals on the bed for those extra brownie points on your romantic weekend away."

All visitors receive access to the fitness centre too."

"This three AA rosette restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients (Horto stands for ‘Kitchen Garden’) and offers guests a choice of à la carte and a tasting menu. Also at Rudding Park is The Clock Tower which offers a range of menus including Afternoon Tea and the popular Yorkshire Tapas."

"Sitting on the banks of the River Aire, Water Lane Boathouse has gone to great lengths to get the best gin they can find. They have a wide range of well-known names, each of which have their own tonic and garnish. Try Pink Rives with Mediterranean tonic, strawberry and basil or Caorunn with tonic, red apple and raspberries – they’re perfect for sitting out in that impressive waterside beer garden under the sunshine."

"A stone’s throw away from Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse overlooks Leeds canal and is a great place to visit on a sunny day. They have a spacious water-facing patio, as well as seating inside and upstairs, meaning you’ll never feel too crowded."

"Situated by the canal, in summer this place hosts gorgeous views. A little further out than others, it is worth it as it's perched on the edge of Lock Number One at Leeds' Canal Wharf, and offers some delicious pizza."

"A post shared by The Cross Keys (@crosskeysleeds) on Jul 7, 2017 at 2:41am PDT. Built in 1802, The Cross Keys was a watering hole for local foundry workers, and this city centre venue still retains a country pub atmosphere, with traditional British dishes and beer from local microbreweries. The only Leeds pub in Michelin Guide’s Eating Out in Pubs 2017, inspectors were impressed by the “hearty, straightforward, British cooking” and “popular Sunday lunch” at The Cross Keys, advising diners to book ahead."

"Best known for its craft beer offering (which is back and better than ever), The Cross Keys also does a roaring trade in proper pub grub. Take a pew in their recently refurbished beer garden, complete with heaters and parasols, before exploring their menu. From Monday to Saturday, you can tuck into their classic smash-style burgers – try their cheeseburger, it’s made with homemade burger sauce, or go vegan with a 100% meat and dairy-free imitation that’s just as good."

"Over two centuries old, The Cross Keys know a thing or two about beers. Head into their pub on the bottom floor and you'll be treated to a wide range of cask stout and beers on tap that regularly change, which you can drink in their great beer garden. Oh, and they happen to have an award-winning Sunday roast too."

"Enjoy a stroll down the river and stop at this ice cream boat!. Serving a variety of local dairy ice cream and sorbets, this one is perfect for those lazy sunny days. Lendal Bridge, York, YO1 7DP"
