Haunted Hotels in Yorkshire
Reputedly ghostly hotels and inns throughout North and West Yorkshire
Hazlewood Castle
Hazlewood Castle. Tadcaster. If such a phenomena as “ghosts” genuinely exist, then the area around Hazlewood Castle should surely be one of the most active anywhere in the world. After all, it was nearby that the most bloody battle in English history took place - perhaps as many as 30,000 souls perishing on March the 29th, 1461 during the notorious Battle of Towton Moor.
Indeed, reports of the castle’s own reputed spirits pale into insignificance in comparison. Discover more about its heritage at our specific Hazlewood Castle page.

Dean Court, York
Dean Court. York. Rated rather highly by independent reviewers, Dean Court has been the scene of some strange goings-on in the past, including the apparition of a Roman Soldier. Read reviews and book online through Booking.com
The Black Swan. York. The Ghost Research Foundation International (GRFI) reckons that York is the most haunted city in Europe. As such, it’s no great surprise that it has more than its fair share of spooky places to stay. One of these is the Black Swan – a bagatelle of 15th to 17th century architecture. There are reputedly two apparitions to been seen here by those (un)fortunate enough: a young blonde woman and a well-dressed gentleman. See reviews at TripAdvisor
