Located in the beautiful, seafront town of Hornsea, Blue Bell is a lovely single storey pod that brings together the best of both the seaside and the countryside. This quaint holiday home, situated just off one of the East Riding of Yorkshire’s most picturesque coastal areas, offers a one bedroom, one bathroom studio style accommodation for up to four people. Those who are looking for a quiet break can take advantage of what Blue Bell has to offer as it is the perfect combination of comfort and good living. Having the option of sitting out on the front, enjoying free Wi-Fi and being at arm’s length from the sandy beach and lively town of Hornsea, this pet-friendly retreat is your ticket to a fabulous Yorkshire escape. Among the many ways how Blue Bell can be experienced is by walking along the prom or taking in the tranquility of the Yorkshire Wolds which is exactly what the hosts invite you to do.
A Cozy Haven for Relaxation
The house-in-a-house (studio) building style of Blue Bell works wonders for its small area, and still, it offers a warm and inviting space that you will feel your home away from home. The communal dining area of the artist studio features a double bed that any sleeper will receive without hassle, and is complemented with a sofa bed that can accommodate two more guests. The entire plan for the living space is conceived to provide a small party with a break of relaxation and pleasure and is equipped with a TV and an eat-in area for four persons.
The kitchen is completely equipped and must be noted that it includes a two-ring electric hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, a kettle, and a toaster, thereby enabling the complete self-catering. It has a perfect kitchen for the morning eggs or a seafood feast with catch from the local market of Hornsea. Moreover, the bathroom is small and efficient with the full bath or shower that you will certainly view as refreshing in the bathroom. The addition of bed linen and towels creates a feeling of high-class. The use of underfloor heating ensures that the temperature inside is comfortable all year round, thus making this pod your cozy retreat in the middle of the crisp Yorkshire autumn.
Outdoor Bliss and Modern Amenities
The beauty of Blue Bell goes beyond its charm on the inside as it also has a private front seating area where one can enjoy the decking, lawn, and furniture – an excellent spot for morning coffees or evening drinks under the Yorkshire sky. Be informed that the seating area is not covered so you need to watch little children or pets and there are steps leading up to the pod which means to you to be careful when moving. The pet-friendly policy (with pets kept on leads while on the park) is a good thing for dog owners, hence the four-legged friend can accompany you on the trip. Although free Wi-Fi will keep you connected, the tranquil ambiance might incline you to unplug and just enjoy the moment.
The pod’s location, just 1.2 miles from a shop, and 1.5 miles from a pub, ensures convenience without sacrificing tranquility. Supplies such as fuel, electricity, bed linen, and towels are included in the rent, thus taking care of the resident’s needs in a simple and convenient way. There is a no-smoking policy in place which keeps the atmosphere fresh and although one source states that there is no Wi-Fi, it appears to be a mistake as Tripadvisor confirms its availability. Blue Bell’s well-thought-out appointments and central location make it an excellent choice for a Yorkshire getaway.
Exploring Hornsea and the East Riding
Hornsea, a seaside resort town from the Victorian era, is a treasure chest filled with both coastal and rural loves. Hornsea with its long, sandy beach, and beautifully maintained promenade is only 2.2 miles from Blue Bell and is the perfect place for family outings or romantic walks. The town center of the old days is still there but with a twist because besides the neatest independent shops, and pubs full of character like The Falcon Inn or The Duke of York, you will find nice cafes serving good old Yorkshire food. Hornsea Mere, the largest natural lake in Yorkshire, is just a few miles away and is a great place for sailing, fishing, or taking a relaxing boat trip surrounded by birds.
The East Riding of Yorkshire is a land of coastal and country roads. The Wolds with their chalk hills rolling down to the sea are a good place for walking or cycling however long you like and the RSPB Bempton Cliffs Seabird Centre, just a short drive away, is for those who love watching puffins and gannets come and go. Besides, history buffs can immerse themselves in the local heritage at Hornsea Museum or wander Beverley, the home of the magnificent Minster. Honeysuckle Farm is where children meet the animals and the Skirlington Sunday Market sells local crafts and produce that will make your kids love it too. Golfers can hit the nearby course and water sports lovers can dive into activities at Hornsea Mere or Mappleton Beach.
Why Blue Bell Stands Out
Blue Bell’s charm is, indeed, a matter of its understated style and down-to-earth appeal. The studio is a perfect fit for a couple who are looking for a romantic getaway or a family of a few who are eager to explore the sea. Its pet-friendly condition (with pets kept on leads while on the park) makes it a rare find, and the included amenities—Wi-Fi, heating, linens, and towels—provide an effortless stay. The pod’s 3-night minimum makes it possible for you to stay as long as you want, thus you are free to go fishing at Hornsea Mere, playing tennis at a nearby court, or having your nice time on the decking.
The fact that it is not far from Leeds-Bradford and Humberside airports makes Blue Bell easy to get to, even though its location gives the impression that you are in another world which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Mille Sapori is a place where one can have a taste of Italy on the plate, while The Railway Inn offers classic pub grub, all of which are less than a fifteen-minute drive away. Being absolutely smoke-free and with a kid-friendly vibe, Blue Bell is a great stay for a wide range of travelers who want a clean and comfortable base.
Plan Your Yorkshire Getaway
Blue Bell, which is actually a holiday home with all its limited comforts, is a chance to get close to the nature, to the people you love and to yourself. Realize your dream by booking directly with the owner via Tripadvisor and check out if there are any deals reserved for you. A minimum of three nights will be enough for you to discover Hornsea’s beaches, markets, and lakes, or simply relax in your private pod. Imagine sitting outside on the lovely decking sipping tea, watching the Wolds glow as the sun sets, or enjoying however you want, reading or just resting in the comfy seating area. Blue Bell is not just a stopover, it is a memory waiting to happen.
