5 Yorkshire Towns Named In Top 10 Best-Value Staycation In 2023

We love the West Yorkshire towns and villages here at The Yorkshireman. Its harsh valley surroundings make for the perfect backdrop for some of the most idyllic spots in the UK.

And, we aren’t the only ones who think so. As one of West Yorkshire’s quaint towns has been rated as the best-value staycation in 2023.

The town of Holmfirth, known for being the backdrop to the classic British sitcom Last of the Summer Wine topped Sykes Staycation Index for 2023.

Half of the top 10 best-value staycation spots in the UK were in Yorkshire, which isn’t surprising when you think how we Yorkshire folk love a bit of thrift.

An average holiday let in Holmfirth was £454. In second place was Staithes along the Yorkshire Coast with an average price of £458 and next was Haworth with a holiday let price of £496 was in fourth place.
