Cosy Winter Escapes in the Tees Valley

Blog | Published on: 13th December 2024

As winter sets in, there’s nothing quite like escaping to a warm, inviting retreat. The Tees Valley offers a range of cosy getaways, from charming countryside cottages to luxurious seaside stays. Whether you’re looking to unwind in rustic comfort, indulge in hearty food and drink, or discover quirky spots for a memorable experience, the Tees Valley has it all.

Countryside Cottages

For a serene escape, book a stay in one of the Tees Valley’s idyllic countryside cottages. Properties like The Stables, at Aislaby, near Yarm, combine rural charm with modern comforts, offering plush interiors that are perfect for winter evenings. A newly built, single-story luxury cottage located in a private gated area, The Stables is perfect for smaller gatherings or tranquil getaways. It features two bedrooms, modern amenities, a hot tub, and beautiful outdoor spaces with views of the Cleveland Hills just a short drive from Yarm’s charming high street.

Luxury Lodges

If you’re after something even more indulgent, consider a luxury lodge at Rockliffe Hall. These spacious lodges provide privacy with access to the estate’s five-star amenities, including a world-class spa and fine dining restaurants. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, they offer a peaceful retreat for couples or families.

Seaside Stays

For those who love a brisk coastal walk, head to Saltburn. The charming town is home to boutique accommodations like The Spa Hotel, which offers stunning sea views and cosy rooms. After a day exploring the pier or clifftop trails, relax by the fire with a hot chocolate or enjoy a hearty meal in their welcoming bistro.

Warming Food and Drink

No winter getaway is complete without indulging in comforting food and drink. The Blackwell Ox, in Carlton, on our region’s doorstep, offers a quintessential pub experience, complete with roaring fires and a menu of warming seasonal dishes. For a more refined treat in our boundaries, visit Wynyard Hall for their indulgent afternoon tea, served with views of the frosted grounds.

Quirky Spots to Explore

For a unique experience, venture to North Shire, near Liverton. This whimsical retreat features quirky accommodations like a hobbit house and storybook-inspired cottages, making it an enchanting escape for families or couples.

Another quirky gem is The Waiting Room, in Eaglescliffe, an intimate vegetarian restaurant with a cult following. Its eclectic décor and imaginative menu create a warm, offbeat atmosphere perfect for winter dining.

Whether you’re soaking in the warmth of a countryside retreat, enjoying coastal charm, or tucking into hearty local food, the Tees Valley offers the perfect winter escape. It’s time to wrap up, slow down, and savour the season.
