last minute holidays in York
enjoy everything that York has to offer from a Yorkshire countryside retreat
If you’re looking for last-minute holidays in Yorkshire, then look no further than The Kilnwick Percy Resort, in beautiful Pocklington.
Our resort is famous for its amazing facilities and gorgeous accommodation – with whimsical forest hotel pods and glorious multi-story log cabin style holiday lodges, which simply have to be seen to be believed.
destination York & the Yorkshire countryside
We might be biased – but we think York is a truly fabulous city, steeped in history and filled with visitor attractions. In fact, it has a larger number of visitor attractions per square mile than any other UK destination – how’s that for a must-visit?
York’s must-see attractions are made up of fantastic museums, locally-loved restaurants and eclectic shopping districts.
However, we know not all of York’s visitors want to stay in a busy inner-city hotel. We offer an alternative to our guests: our resort is located within easy driving range of the city centre, as well as being located in the midst of the Yorkshire Wolds, to ensure a peaceful countryside ambience. Make the most of York’s bustling city offerings, and enjoy perfect peace in the countryside at the same time –Â retreat to Kilnwick Percy’s simple tranquillity every evening.

Our hotel rooms are simply exquisite, but it is perhaps our log-cabin-style holiday lodges which are the most famous.
These gorgeous, comfortable units are fully equipped for self-catering, with modern kitchen facilities and a spacious dining area both of which are located in the open-plan living area. You may decide to enjoy your meals on the outdoor decking area, which can come with private BBQ hire options available to lodge occupants. Enjoy a truly fresh BBQ under the picture-perfect blue Yorkshire summer sky to round off your holiday in style. Also to be found on the outdoor decking area of our top of the range units is a private outdoor hot tub, for the ultimate in luxury.
Guests are also provided with complimentary Wi-Fi for the duration of their stay, as well as the luxury log-cabins being equipped with flat screen TVs (which you can make the most of with our DVD rental offering!)
Two-bedroom to four-bedroom log cabins are available here, with pet-friendly units also available so that you don’t have to leave the four-legged members of your party back home. Please be sure to select a pet-friendly lodge if you are planning on bringing your pet along with you on the trip so we can make sure they’re catered for, too!

York activities & attractions
Despite the many facilities are on the park, we know many of our guests are keen to stay with us to explore York City Centre.
Don’t worry – we always encourage our guests to venture out, if they want to! In York, you’ll find a plethora of visitor attractions that are sure to appease the needs of visitors with varying interests and in a wide range of age groups. The family won’t ever be at risk of getting bored, during your York city break.
The city is filled with museums which tell the story of its rich history. These include the Yorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum, and, of course, the world-famous York Minster Cathedral which is the centerpiece of the city, and is perhaps the best example of gothic architecture which is in evidence throughout the city streets!
