Sightseeing

Brandesburton might seem small, but it packs a punch when it comes to things to see. The village itself has some lovely historical buildings including St Mary's Church, parts of which date back to the 12th century.

Just 15 minutes away, Burton Constable Hall (HU11 4LN, open 10am-5pm Apr-Oct) is a stunning Elizabethan country house with over 30 rooms to explore. It scores 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor and visitors rave about the grounds. The hall's 300 acres of parkland were designed by Capability Brown and make for a brilliant day out.

Water enthusiasts should head to Hornsea Mere (YO25 8QB), Yorkshire's largest freshwater lake. It's about 20 minutes from Brandesburton and offers boating, fishing and bird watching. TripAdvisor gives it 4/5 with reviewers praising the peaceful atmosphere.

For a seaside fix, Hornsea Beach is just 8 miles away. This traditional seaside town has a lovely promenade and clean beach that's much less crowded than Bridlington or Scarborough. After a walk along the shore, you can return to your cottage and enjoy the hot tub while planning tomorrow's adventure.

Pet Friendly

Many Brandesburton cottages welcome dogs, making it an ideal spot for a holiday with your four-legged mate. The village is surrounded by countryside with plenty of walking routes where dogs can stretch their legs.

The Black Swan pub (YO25 8RG) in the village centre allows dogs in the bar area and garden. They even keep treats behind the bar! Their Sunday roasts are top notch too.

Nearby Tophill Low Nature Reserve (DN14 0BZ) has some dog-friendly paths where you can spot wildlife together. Just keep your dog on a lead in the sensitive areas.

I recommend bringing towels specifically for your dog - the local lakes and muddy paths mean wet paws are inevitable! Most cottages with hot tubs have enclosed gardens, but double-check the boundaries are secure before letting your dog roam free.

Top 3 attractions you have to see in Brandesburton

Let's Start Water (YO25 8JW) tops my list. This water sports centre offers wakeboarding, paddleboarding and open water swimming. Even beginners can have a go with their patient instructors. One visitor wrote: "Tried wakeboarding for the first time and was standing up by the end of my session! Staff were brilliant with my kids too."

Dacre Lakeside Park (YO25 8RT) is another must-visit. This fishing paradise has several well-stocked lakes with carp, tench and bream. Day tickets are available and the site has toilet facilities and a small shop. A regular visitor commented: "Been coming here for years. The 16lb carp I caught last summer was my personal best!"

Honeysuckle Farm (YO25 8RL) is perfect for families. This working farm lets visitors meet animals up close, watch cows being milked and try their homemade ice cream.
