Burtree House & Retreat, Thirsk, near York

• Country-chic style: For an away-from-it-all escape in the heart of rugged North Yorkshire, Burtree House & Retreat is just the ticket. Set deep within 65 acres of sprawling countryside, these secluded suites offer a unique blend of Georgian elegance and contemporary comfort.

• Stellar service: Guests are welcomed with open arms to this family-run retreat which boasts country-chic interiors - think antique furniture and French-style decor - and attentive service. There’s a restaurant set in a Gothic castle, a hot tub for al fresco bathing and even a working farm right on-site.

• Nature-filled surroundings: Kick-start your day with a traditional homemade breakfast before donning your comfiest shoes and traversing the surrounding hills on one of many hiking trails. Later, retreat to the hot tub to soothe walking-weary feet under a canopy of twinkling stars.
