Awards Summary - 2023

Sarah Dean • December 19, 2023

We have attended various awards evenings this season so we thought it would be a nice idea to create a summary and update all in one place.

The Yorkshire Post Rural Awards - The Pavilions of Harrogate

We attended these awards back in September as a finalist in the Mixed Farm of the Year Category with a big focus of the application being on the recent diversification enterprise, that being the holiday cottages. For those of you that don't know, we are originally farmers, farming arable land, free-range poultry and renewable energy.

The Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTAs) - The Double Tree by Hilton, Hull

This is the second year that we have attended these awards as we were over the moon to win the Self Catering Accommodation category in 2022. We were finalists in three categories this year which meant we had three separate rounds of judging all looking at a different criteria.

The Yorkshire Post Tourism Awards - The New Dock, Leeds

We were very pleased to be finalists in three categories at these awards as it was the first year that we had entered them; Best Self Catering Accommodation, Accessible & Inclusive Tourism and Sustainable Tourism. We had a great evening networking with other business owners and celebrating everyone's achievements.

We didn't come home with any wins this year but we were delighted to be finalists in seven different categories across three different award ceremonies. There was some really tough competition, with some amazing cottages and businesses across the whole of Yorkshire. We are very proud to have reached as far as we did and we congratulate all of the winners on their achievements.

Why Self-Catering is Ideal for Short Breaks

By Sarah Dean • February 24, 2026

Short breaks are all about making the most of your time away, without stress or rigid schedules. That’s why self-catering accommodation continues to be a popular choice for guests looking to escape for a few days. At Pasture House Holiday Cottages , just outside Beverley, self-catering gives guests the freedom, comfort, and flexibility that make even a short stay feel genuinely restorative. Freedom to Arrive, Eat, and Relax on Your Own Schedule One of the biggest advantages of self-catering is flexibility. There’s no need to work around set meal times or busy dining rooms — you can arrive, settle in, and relax straight away. For short breaks especially, this freedom makes a real difference. Whether you prefer an early night, a late breakfast, or a relaxed evening meal, everything happens on your terms.
