Start thinking about your Autumn Break

Yeh Summer has arrived(well the school holidays have started) and things are getting very busy.
So it is time to start thinking about your Autumn reservation when things have ,maybe, slowed down a little.
We do have some gaps in August but if you are thinking September and early October an early decision and reservation would be advisable.
For the record we have nothing over the War Weekend

Ryedale Festival(s) and Shows

The annual Ryedale Festival has just started and has a varied programme of music and theatre.
We have Meatloaf at Castle Howard tonight and soon to have Boyzone and Katie Melua coming up. A fortnight ago we had a superb night with Status Quo in the forest and the Zutons were apparently OK the night before.
Perhaps Ryedale is on its way to being part of the music scene?
It is also "show" time with most of the one day agricultural shows over the next 6 weeks-they are great days out with something for all the family.
Throw in the Traction Engine Rally, the Pickering Folk Festival and the NYMR events and you have a great summer whenever you come to the area.

Third Time Lucky!!!????

We are finalists in the Yorkshire Tourist Board/BBC White Rose Awards for Tourism in the category of Best Guest Accommodation.
Of course we are delighted at this recognition of the experience staying at 17 Burgate gives to our guests.
We have been open 3 years and finalists now in each of those years-great for us as it shows we are maintaining and improving standards.
We have our fingers crosssed for the results in September and would like to thank all our guests for their comments and observations which have helped us reach this level
