Valentine's Day is here and High Oaks Grange makes for a wonderful romantic escape with your favourite person. Curl up in front of the log burning fire in one of our country Cottages, sit under the stars in the bubbling hot tub in our Contemporary Lodges or enjoy a long lie in our Woodland Lodges. 

If you can drag yourself away from your luxury accommodation and peaceful estate then the North York Moors offer some wonderfully romantic experiences. Here are our top 5.....

1. Take a Walk Among the Dramatic Scenery

Grab your walking shoes and take in the dramatic moorland and some big views at Hole of Horcum. You will find a perfect spot for a picnic near a babbling brook, take in some stunning views and you may hear the whistle of the steam trains below of the North York Moors Railway. Other walks that we would suggest would be from Boggle Hole to Robin Hood's Bay where you can enjoy a lovely walk along the Cleveland Way. Take in the beautiful sea views and enjoy scrumptious fish and chips before making your way back. 

2. Enjoy a Candle Lit Dinner

North Yorkshire is home to some fantastic restaurants that offer fine dining including some Michelin Stars amongst them. The Black Swan at Oldstead is a Michelin Star restaurant owned by Tommy Banks. The sensational tasting menu in a cosy setting is the great backdrop to a romantic night and perfect for those who want a culinary experience. If you were hoping to stay within close vicinity of High Oaks Grange then you will find Willowgate Bistro in Pickering which offers beautiful food in a relaxed environment. 

3. North York Moors Railway Pullman Dining

For something truly special, NYMR offers an exclusive dining experience on their refurbished carriages, taking you back in time to the golden age of train travel. With wonderful food, beautiful scenery and luxury surroundings, it offers an unforgettable dining experience. The dining experiences are often extremely popular so it is always a good idea to book well in advance.
