1. Natural Retreats, Yorkshire-Dales A group of 10 wooden houses with glass fronts, located on the slope of a hill in the national park Yorkshire-Dales.

The prices start from 325 pounds for two nights. 2. The Straw Bale Cabin, Western Yorkshire The Western Yorkshire is deprived of the attention of the tourists, but the Straw Bale Cabin on the abandoned farm in East-Riding is worth it, to get away from the usual touristic routes.
