AA Two Rosette 2024 award-winning country house in Driffield

Accommodation

Highfield offers eight themed rooms inside a Victorian stone-walled property built in 1864. The Kingsland Suite has double-aspect windows overlooking the gardens, while the Mallard room includes a roll-top bath and separate rainfall shower. Each room features individually styled décor with high-quality toiletries from the hotel's own range.

Dining

The on-site 1864 restaurant holds the AA Two Rosette award for 2024 and serves British cuisine sourced from the hotel's kitchen garden. Guests can book a 10-course tasting menu with wine pairing or choose from set menus that include Sunday roast and Chateaubriand. The outdoor bar offers a 2-for-1 cocktail happy hour on selected afternoons.

Wellness & Grounds

In-house therapist Sarah provides facial treatments, full-body massage, and foot massage in a dedicated treatment room. The outdoor terrace includes sun umbrellas and a picnic area with an outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings. Guests can follow walking tours through the garden and along the riverbank, or join on-site yoga sessions.

Pet-Friendly

The hotel designates dog-friendly rooms and provides pet bowls, pet baskets, and a dog bed in the room. Dogs are welcome in gardens and the outdoor terrace but not inside the 1864 restaurant. A £25 per-stay fee covers the pet amenities and cleaning.
