Yorkshire by steam was a good trip, the only downside for me was the hotel restaurant service and the extortionate bar prices.

It's fine but I would have happily paid a bit extra for a first class carriage on the steam train to better the experience; this should be an option

A well-paced short break. Plenty of things to do. Only downside was the British weather!
