Leave the fuss and fret of the AI(M) at Scotch Corner to reconnect with the land at this idyllic hotel, centred on a Georgian coach house amid gardens, parkland and woodland.

The Michelin-starred cuisine at this thatched gastropub in quiet Harome is the draw, but the rooms are special too, as is the setting, close to the North York Moors for a day's walking.

In an enchanting village, this coaching inn retains the ambience of a friendly local, with its beamed bar and real ales. But indulgent main-house bedrooms with private patio together with Michelin-starred chef James Mackenzie's spin on classic British dishes, lift it way above the ordinary.

Michael and Johanna Wignall have reimagined a 15th-century Dales inn, creating super-stylish, uncluttered, luxury bedrooms, most in a converted barn with views over Rylstone Fell, and intimate dining spaces in which to sample Michael's technically brilliant, modern, seasonal, Michelin-starred menus.

The Banks family's old drovers' inn, on a quiet country lane overlooking farmland in the North York Moors, is firmly on the foodie map, with Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks creating unforgettable menus using kitchen garden, locally sourced and foraged ingredients.
