Nestled on the outskirts of Crayke, this pretty two-bedroom cottage offers a rural retreat with a touch of sophistication. Set at the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this dog-friendly property sleeps four people in two bedrooms, making it ideal for a couples’ escape or a family-friendly getaway. Part of a small group of holiday cottages on the owner’s grounds, it’s surrounded by farmland, ancient woodland and meandering rivers, and is only 3 miles from the Georgian market town of Easingwold, renowned as a foodie paradise.
Laid out over a single floor and fully refurbished to a high standard, this charming stone cottage feels like a true home-from-home. Neutral hues throughout give it a tranquil ambiance with pops of colour and pattern for interest, and thoughtful finishing touches.
After adventurous days walking, cycling and visiting the region’s numerous attractions, return here to relax in the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Thoughtfully arranged and perfect for socialising, it forms the heart of this lovely home.
The fully equipped kitchen boasts all the mod cons for you to create delicious meals from the delightful Yorkshire produce picked up at local markets and artisan stores. Gather together to dine in or out, with a dining table in the living area and a bistro table on the terrace, which offers magnificent country views.
As dusk falls, this is a great spot to enjoy an after-dinner tipple while watching the stars appearing overhead and listening for owls. Alternatively fill the lounge with laughter and chatter as you share a bottle of wine and chat about your plans, or get comfy to watch a film or catch up on your favourite TV series.
When bedtime calls, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms along the hall. Choose between an elegant king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, or a cosy twin room, which has use of the family bathroom.
Private parking is available for two cars, while electric vehicle charging is available at the cost of £30 per stay, payable directly to the owner.
