A lovely, relaxing stay in a beautifully quaint cottage. Ample space inside and the gardens too, great for our children and dogs. Really appreciated the tasty biscuits and milk on our arrival. All amenities thought of at Ivy Cottage. Thank you for a fab week!

A comfortable well equipped house, fantastic views over the green I enjoyed watching a snowy owl swooping for prey not to mention the swifts in the evening. The chiming church clock was such a part of rural living. Other villagers we met during our stay were so friendly and helpful, such a shame that the local pub is no more So much country walkingRead more around the village area. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in future. This was our first visit to Stillingfleet, which didn't disappoint. A lovely cottage in a great location. The surrounding area was peaceful whilst affording plenty of walks for those travelling with their pooches! The beautiful City of York is also within easy reach. Would definitely recommenRead mored Ivy Cottage for a relaxing break. Hide

A beautiful old cottage set in wonderful gardens. We stayed with our 7 year old, my husband's parents and our dog, and it could not have been more perfect. Spacious comfortable and quiet. Really well equipped kitchen. We walked to Riccall, Kelfield and Cawood, and found pubs in Riccall and Cawood. We drove to Naburn which also has a nice pub. NaburRead moren is a similar distance to the other villages, but unfortunately no way to walk. Lack of local footpaths is a problem for keen walkers. Hide

Lovely cottage with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, very well equipped kitchen, super garden and great location.
