Beverley hotels

Hotels in Beverley

Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is more than a market town. It's considered the inspiration for the name of Beverly Hills, California's famous suburb. The long history of the town is easy to see, such as in the 15th-century North Bar gate made with over 112,000 bricks.

You'll find a range of Beverley hotels and guesthouses along cobbled streets to suit most tastes and budgets. Staying in the centre of town puts you near Beverley's rail station, a stop on the line between Scarborough and Hull.

Local flavour

Yorkshire folk are warm and welcoming, just like Beverley's numerous cafés and restaurants.

The traditional Yorkshire hotpot is not to be missed. Simple and slow-cooked, it's a filling and satisfying meal. If you're in a more adventurous mood, you'll find sushi restaurants, pizza, Indian food and fish and chip shops around the town.

Wash it all down with a big mug of Yorkshire Tea – it's stronger than most other blends. You can take afternoon tea at Lempicka, which also prides itself on an impressive variety of coffee beans.

Things to see in Beverley

Beverley Minster is one of the main architectural sights in the town. It's been a prominent place of worship for more than a century, with construction of the minster completed back in 1425. Other town centre sights include The Guildhall Museum, a Grade I listed building constructed in 1501, and St. Mary's Church which is also listed.

A stroll around the expansive green at Beverley Westwood is the perfect way to relax or walk off a hearty lunch. It's also the site of Beverley Racecourse, with races held every month.

Events and festivals

Beverley hosts several music festivals and food festivals every year, bringing tens of thousands of people to the town. Come for folk and blues, and stay for the recently established Real Ale and Cider Festival.

All year round, the town has a distinct pavement café culture and a continental atmosphere. It even has a ‘Latin Quarter' – the Wednesday Market area. Similarly, the Saturday Market part of town has its own vibe and ambience.
