A new study by Big House Experience has uncovered the UK’s cosiest cities, as voted by travellers on Reddit.
Chichester ranked in second place with with almost 25,000 travellers vouching for the city.
York is crowned the UK’s cosiest city for autumn 2026 with almost 48,000 votes in favour of the city’s comforting setting.
Four of the top five ‘Cosiest Cities’ are located in the north of the UK, with Edinburgh, Chester and Durham claiming third, fourth and fifth places respectively.
Gareth Allen, Founder and Travel Expert of Big House Experience, said: “There’s no denying that the United Kingdom wears the autumn season very well and tourists recognise that. Many people come here for the quintessential Britishness that many of our cities offer, which just so happens to be old timber-framed pubs, local coffee shops and even our cobblestone streets. As we’ve noticed a pick-up in bookings for September through to November, we were keen to run this research to see where in the UK is home to the cosiest city.
“It’s interesting to see how many more international bookings we have received for UK properties between September and November. But with Bonfire Night traditions across the country and Christmas light displays coming to life during this timeframe, there’s no surprise that so many people want to see different corners of the UK at this time of year.”
