Feeling cosy with Thwaites

Ideal for hiking
The Red Lion in Burnsall is the latest property to be welcomed into the 200-year-old Daniel Thwaite family. Is there any better escape than a cosy 16th Century Inn in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales? The rooms at The Red Lion are full of charm, most with beautiful views over the village green. After a day exploring the Dales, nothing beats some delicious hearty grub in this cosy inn. Showcasing the best producers from the local area, the restaurant (just the right side of chintz) is at the heart of this historical, much-loved building. Whether you'd go for a Steak and Thwaites ale pie followed by a sticky toffee pudding, or sauteed seabass fillets followed by a delicious crème brulee, the brimming plates are hearty enough. For those who enjoy walking, The Dales Way passes through Burnsall on its way to nearby Grassington, or you can walk southwards to Appletreewick and beyond. The town of Skipton is also nearby.

For exploring historical York
The Judge's Lodging boasts a terrific location in the centre of York, placing guests close to the city's main attractions. The Grade I listed Georgian mansion oozes character and history, making it a special and unique destination. The building's origins date back to 1710 when it was built as a private residence. In 1806 it became the residence of the Assize Judges and their evening refuge from brutal court sessions – this continued until the assize courts were abolished in 1971. You'll sleep wonderfully in the luxurious Judges quarters. Ranging from cosy to character to feature, there is a variety of individually designed rooms perfect for a comfortable stay whilst maintaining many of the original features. With two terraces and a cellar bar, it's the perfect spot for rain and shine. When the sun comes out, our front terrace is the place to be for an award-winning Thwaites ale or a chilled glass of wine. For those in the know, there is a hidden terrace to find too! Authentic Yorkshire dishes are cooked from scratch and have been awarded an AA Rosette. Dine with the Judges in the beautifully designed main dining room or relax in the bar for a low-key setting.

Daniel Thwaites is a collection of hotels, spas and inns spread over England offering a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Why more couples are letting the coast shape their wedding day

For couples planning a wedding, the setting is increasingly becoming more than a backdrop. Research from WeddingDates found that 78% of UK couples consider location an important factor when choosing a venue, with more than a third specifically influenced by the view. Rockwater, the UK coastal hospitality brand with beachfront venues in Hove and Branksome, says this is helping reshape how couples approach weddings by the water. Rather than simply choosing a coastal venue and then planning the celebration independently of it, couples are increasingly allowing the landscape, changing light and relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to influence the day itself. Rockwater has identified four of the key considerations shaping modern coastal weddings.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.
