Headingley Lodge

If you’re not too keen on staying in the ’burbs, you’ll make an exception for the unique Headingley Lodge – great-value hotel rooms at the Headingley stadium complex, each with a sweeping view of the Yorkshire county side’s cricket pitch. They’re all smartly turned out, and can be configured as twins, doubles or family rooms, and it’s an easy journey in or out of the city centre by train (Headingley station is close by). A continental breakfast can be delivered to your room, or the stadium café-bar is open weekdays for a full cooked English.
