Why Our Bedrooms Have Their Own Names

Sarah Dean • November 18, 2025

From farm trees to shire horses: the inspiration behind our bedroom names

When creating Pasture House Holiday Cottages, we wanted our cottages to feel welcoming, homely, and full of character — not like staying in a hotel. One of the ways we’ve done this is by giving every bedroom its own name.

More Than Just a Room Number

Rather than using numbers, each bedroom has a unique name. This helps us in two ways:

It makes it easier for guests to choose their preferred room layout — whether they’d like a superking bed or twin beds.
It also means guests can pick a favourite room to return to, as each one has its own style, décor, and bathroom set-up.

Bedrooms at Pasture House

Many guests are surprised to find that Pasture House has three floors, giving plenty of space to spread out:

Ground Floor – Willow, ideal for those who prefer not to use stairs.

Middle Floor – Field Maple, Whitebeam & Silver Birch, each with different layouts and larger bathrooms (bath, shower, toilet & twin vanity units). The Silver Birch room features a slipper bath!

Top Floor – Beech & Oak, tucked away, full of character and charm.

Every bedroom in Pasture House is named after a tree from the farm, reflecting the rural setting and our close connection to the landscape.

Bedrooms at The Stables

At The Stables, all rooms are on the ground floor — perfect for ease of access. These bedrooms are named after the two shire horses that would once have worked on the farm and lived in the very building that’s now been beautifully converted into holiday accommodation. It’s a little nod to the history of our cottages and the heritage of the land.

Choosing the Right Room for You

With varied décor, bathroom layouts, and bed options, every bedroom has something different to offer. Some guests love the cosy feel of the top floor rooms in Pasture House, while others return year after year to “their” favourite space. By naming each bedroom, we’ve made it simple to find the one that suits you best.

✨ Whether you’re planning a family gathering in Pasture House or a relaxing break in The Stables, our named bedrooms help make your stay feel that little bit more personal.

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. It’s a quieter, often overlooked month for a break — which makes it especially appealing for guests who enjoy calm surroundings and unhurried exploring. 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. Longer Days and a Fresh Feel to the Countryside One of the most noticeable changes in March is the return of longer daylight hours. Mornings feel brighter, evenings stretch out, and time outdoors becomes more inviting. The countryside around Beverley starts to show early signs of spring, with fresh greenery and the first hints of seasonal colour. It’s an ideal time for gentle walks and relaxed days out without the intensity of peak season.
