A traditional style fully refurbished cottage in this pretty village resting on the edge of the Howardian Hills, set in the owners' grounds ideal for a couple or small family.

Enjoy a peaceful, rural retreat at this charming stone cottage nestled on the outskirts of the pretty village of Crayke. Tucked on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this bijou property sits within the owner’s grounds within a group of three similar properties, yet enjoys its own privacy. Located less than 3 miles from the Georgian market town of Easingwold and surrounded by ancient woodland, rolling countryside and meandering rivers, it’s perfect for a romantic couples’ escape or a family-friendly break.

Laid out over a single storey and set within mature gardens, this stylish abode has been fully renovated with neutral tones and pops of colour and patterns. Finished to a high standard throughout, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The heart of this lovely home is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Prepare home-cooked meals in the light and fresh contemporary kitchen, while your loved one keeps you company perched at the breakfast bar. Dine inside or out with a dining table set beneath the gently curving bay window in the kitchen, or make the most of warm weather dining alfresco at the bistro table in the garden.

As dusk falls, enjoy a nightcap in the garden, stargazing in the uninterrupted night’s sky. Or snuggle up with your loved one in the inviting lounge, sharing a bottle of wine and watching a film on the Smart TV.

When bedtime calls, get comfy under the covers of the elegant king-size bedroom, or cosy up in the single room, which has an additional pull-out single bed to sleep an extra person if required. After a restful night’s sleep, enjoy a revitalising shower in the chic shower room, ready for fresh adventures.

This delightful property benefits from a private garden, perfect for sipping your morning cuppa while listening to birdsong or enjoying lazy afternoons in the sun.

Located on the fringe of the Howardian Hills, Crayke is a peaceful village, steeped in history, with a castle dating to the 15th century and a historic church. Located close to the market town of Easingwold, it makes a great base for adventures in Yorkshire.

Nestled in the heart of North Yorkshire, Easingwold (2.5 miles) is a charming market town at the foot of the Howardian Hills. Know affectionately to locals as ‘The Wold’, this picturesque town boasts stunning Georgian architecture, and is home to a host of independent retailers from family-run newsagents to independent boutiques and galleries.

This thriving town is centred on its biggest attraction ¬– the pretty Georgian marketplace. The weekly Friday market is a hub of activity with stalls selling fresh local produce, handmade crafts and artisanal goods. In addition, there’s a monthly farmers’ market held on the third Wednesday of every month and a monthly artisan market on the second Saturday of every month.

In recent years, this delightful town has developed a reputation as a foodie haven, thanks in part to the market. Home to one of the top three delicatessens in Britain, one of the England’s best tearooms, along with a host of award-winning gastropubs and a superb bakery, this is one destination you shouldn’t miss if you love good food.

For those who love the great outdoors, this area is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers alike. A richly varied landscape of ancient woodland, farmland, fens, historic parkland and scattered settlements, the Howardian Hills is simply stunning. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is home to castles, monasteries and grand houses, including Kirkham Priory (14 miles) and Castle Howard (13 miles). Alternatively, head north to the Yorkshire Moors (from around 14 miles), a vast expanse of rugged heather moorland, peppered with ancient ruins and steeped in history.

This area isn’t just about landscapes and nature. Steeped in history and culture, the city of York is just 13.5 miles away, offering a multitude of attractions from the imposing York Minster to the cobbled streets of the Shambles.

Ideally located as a base for exploring North Yorkshire, the cottage has all you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We can recommend the local gastro pub, the Durham Ox, for a lovely meal in a place full of character. Our hosts were very welcoming and we hope to return in the near future.
