4- and 5-star hotels in Driffield
This shortlist gathers the 4- and 5-star hotels and self-catering stays in and around Driffield, from barns and cottages to guest houses and lodges. It suits couples, families and small groups who want the Wolds and the coast within easy reach of the town.
Staying in Driffield
Driffield sits at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, roughly midway between Hull and Bridlington, and is known as the Capital of the Wolds. The town has a canal, a weekly market and a long association with agriculture, including the historic Driffield Show. The town centre offers shops, cafes and the market place, with accommodation within walking distance of the railway station, and it is a practical base for walking and cycling in the Wolds or for days on the nearby coast at Barmston and Bridlington.
The properties here are scattered rather than clustered: several carry addresses in Driffield itself, among them Highfield on Windmill Hill, The Granary Ijy, Meadow View Ijv, Puddle Duck Cottage on The Green and Scarborough Cottage on Scarborough Road. Others sit in the surrounding villages and hamlets, such as Fridaythorpe, Southburn, Wold Newton, Langtoft, Brandesburton, Skipsea and Manor Farm. That spread suits couples after a quiet cottage, families wanting space and a playground or pool, and guests on a short break who plan to drive between the town, the Wolds and the coast.
