The Golden Fleece Hotel, Thirsk, North East

• Historic charm: With a hall-hung Georgian coaching clock giving a nod to its rich history, The Golden Fleece Hotel sits grandly in a 16th-century listed building on Thirsk’s cobbled marketplace, between the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales.

• Gin o'clock: Once you’ve had your fill of the area’s charms, retreat back to the hotel’s warm and welcoming wood-panelled bar to work your way through the local ales and craft beers from across the globe – a jam-packed gin menu will satiate juniper fans.

• British classics: Later, stake a claim on one of the eclectic chairs dotted throughout the characterful restaurant to tuck into homemade British classics with a modern twist. The Golden Fleece Hotel won a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence.
