The Best of Both Worlds: Coast & Countryside on Your Doorstep

Sarah Dean • July 1, 2025

Enjoy sandy shores, scenic walks, and the charm of rural East Yorkshire — all just minutes from your doorstep.

If you're dreaming of a summer getaway that offers the perfect blend of seaside charm and peaceful countryside, look no further than Pasture House Holiday Cottages. Nestled in the heart of East Yorkshire, our cottages are ideally located just 15 minutes from the coast and on the edge of the stunning Yorkshire Wolds – offering the best of both worlds.

Seaside Adventures Just Minutes Away

Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong and enjoying your morning coffee with countryside views, then spending your afternoon exploring the beautiful Yorkshire coastline. From the golden sands of Hornsea and the dramatic cliffs of Flamborough Head, to traditional fish and chips in Bridlington, the coast is only a short drive away – perfect for beach days, coastal walks, or simply relaxing by the sea.

Within a short 15-minute drive, you'll find some of East Yorkshire’s best-kept coastal secrets. Fraisthorpe Beach is a favourite with locals – a wide, sandy beach that’s perfect for a quiet walk, beachcombing, or simply soaking up the sea air. After your stroll, stop off at the Cow Shed Café, a cosy spot right by the beach serving great coffee, cakes, and light lunches with sea views.

Skipsea is a peaceful stretch of coastline with rugged charm. And no visit to this area is complete without a stop at Mr Moo’s Ice Cream Parlour – a countryside gem offering over 30 flavours of delicious, locally made ice cream. It’s the perfect treat after a day at the beach!

Discover the Rolling Wolds

If you prefer peaceful walks and picture-perfect views, the Yorkshire Wolds are a short drive away. With gentle hills, quiet lanes, and charming villages like Huggate and Thixendale, the Wolds are a haven for walkers, cyclists, and anyone seeking a tranquil escape. The famous Yorkshire Wolds Way walking route is a must for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Stay Somewhere Special

Whether you choose to stay in Pasture House or The Stables, you’ll find a warm welcome, luxurious comfort, and plenty of local charm. After a day exploring coast or countryside, you can return to your peaceful cottage and unwind in style.

Why choose between beach and countryside when you can enjoy both? Book your summer break at Pasture House Holiday Cottages and experience the best of East Yorkshire from one perfect base.

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.
