Enjoy a stay at this stunning two-bedroom luxury holiday cottage set within the grounds of a 16th century farmhouse near York. This gorgeous property has the wow factor in every room, and with its setting in beautiful grounds with uninterrupted countryside all around, this is true holiday perfection.

This holiday cottage has been a real labour of love by its owners, something which is abundantly evident throughout the whole property with its bespoke furniture and effortless style. Step in to discover a dramatic hallway boasting beautiful quarry tiles and a fabulous stairway. This hall leads directly through to the main living area in the cottage, a bright and welcoming open-plan space housing the kitchen, dining area and lounge. As an added little treat, you'll arrive to a generous welcome hamper including homemade bread, cakes and spa products.

The lounge is home to comfy seating, perfect for stretching out on for those cosy movie nights in, and this room comes equipped with a Smart TV, sound system and Wi-Fi. Underfloor heating throughout ensures you are nice and toasty whatever the weather.

In the beautiful kitchen a dishwasher is provided as well as a washing machine if needed. The cupboards are stocked with glassware, crockery and everything you'll need to rustle up a hearty dinner. Sitting beside the kitchen you'll find the charming dining area bathed in sunlight that streams in through the windows, it's a lovely spot for dining at any time of day.

Both bedrooms in this luxury cottage are on ground level and both come equipped with TVs. The generous master bedroom has a stunning queen-size bed; a heavenly place to wake up each morning. In the corner of this room you'll find a fabulous copper bath just calling out for long candlelit soaks. The second bedroom is equally charming, with its country-chic style. The house bathroom is on ground level, a show-stopping wet room with an enormous walk-in shower and copper sink. There is an additional mezzanine floor (not to be used as bedroom) in the cottage which houses a daybed, TV and PS3, the perfect escape for teens and adults alike.

Outdoor furniture and a BBQ are provided so you can enjoy a balmy evening dining alfresco with only the horses next door to keep you company. The gorgeous setting provides uninterrupted views of the glorious Yorkshire countryside.

Such a lovely place to stay! Feels very secure with the gated entrance and the accommodation literally has everything you could need. Not too far if you want to go into York and the drive itself is lovely. The hosts were very welcoming with great communication before and after our stay. Would love to return!

We have stayed at Harry's Cottage before. Lovely cottage, lovely owners and really good distance to York and Castle Howard. Highly recommend. We ate in quite a few nights using local supermarkets but also ate out at St Vincent's Arms (highly recommend) and The Drovers Arms (Sunday roast was good).
