Things To Do for Children

Sarah Dean • April 9, 2024

With our cottages being suitable for families, we often get asked whether there are things locally for children to do...

Dacre Lake, Brandesburton (5 Minutes Away)

There is so much to do at Dacre Lake, Adventure Golf, Foot Golf, and in the warmer months; Cricket, Tennis, Canoeing, Hire a Pedalo, Water Skiing and other watersports! Finish of with a yummy pizza at Bert's just a few steps away.
Mr Moo's, Skipsea (11 Minutes Away)

Mr Moo's is an ice cream parlour and cafe serving delicious sundaes, home made lunches, morning coffee or afternoon tea. They are located on the beautiful Yorkshire coast and you can take a stroll down to the beach before or after visiting them.

Honeysuckle Farm, Bewholme (11 Minutes Away)

With various animals to see and feed, there is also a play barn, den building area and cafe to enjoy, not to far from the cottages.

William's Den, North Cave (33 Minutes Away)

A multi-award-winning attraction, with playscapes, woodland trails, camping, food and drink. There are lots of themed activities throughout the year so keep an eye on their social media or website. Just off the motorway, some guests visit this on the way to or away from their stay at the cottages.

Sledmere House (30 Minutes Away)

If it is a relaxing day looking around the beautiful walled garden you are in search of, enjoying a picnic in the grounds, a family day out exploring the wide open spaces, having fun in the adventure play area and meeting the animals in the Rare Breed farm park – or even looking at the fine art and architecture in the beautiful country house, there is something for everyone at Sledmere House.

Jump Inc, Beverley (20 Minutes Away)

A trampoline and inflatable park with zip lines, tumble tracks and playgrounds. We've had guests leave good reviews about Jump previously.

Jack in the Box, Beverley (20 Minutes Away)

A soft play area, with a cafe for the parents to relax while the children burn off some energy.

The Deep, Hull (35 Minutes Away)

A visit to an aquarium is suitable for all of the family - especially if there is some typical British weather! The Deep is known for its' shark tunnel. There are planned feeding times/talks throughout the day and also sleepovers can be arranged.

Let Loose, Woodmansey (23 Minutes Away)

This is said to be harder than Go Ape, so only suitable for children 10 years and above. Set yourself a challenge navigating the high ropes and obstacles. It is only open through the summer months so check the website for opening times.

Little Monkeys, Hull (40 Minutes)

Another soft play, as a wet day option! Suitable for children up to the age of 11 and there is a separate area for children under 5.

All of the above, plus we are 15 minutes away from the beach. Plus there are huge enclosed lawns at both properties which we often see toys spread to every corner, which is great!

Spring Arrives: Why March is a Lovely Time to Visit Beverley

By Sarah Dean • March 10, 2026

March marks the gentle shift from winter to spring, bringing lighter days, fresh countryside views, and a renewed sense of energy.

A stay at Pasture House Holiday Cottages, just outside Beverley, offers the perfect base for enjoying East Yorkshire as it begins to wake up for spring.
