Embark on a romantic retreat to this charming countryside cottage set within the tranquillity of a private estate and relax in the serene setting. Decorated in a quirky, characterful style with a lovely courtyard area for a morning coffee, a stay here is sure to be one you’ll remember fondly for many years to come.

Spend time as two in the warm and welcoming open-plan living space which boasts beautiful views over the gorgeous greenery of the estate. Luxurious leather seating and a crackling wood burner add to the ambience of the room creating the perfect setting for reading a book off the shelf or getting cosy for a movie night.

Around the corner is the modern kitchen in deep hues, furnished with a feature Belfast sink and all the equipment you’ll need to rustle up a feast for you both. A table seating two is also on offer for mealtimes or a game of cards whilst you wait.

The bedroom is tastefully decorated with a fabulous king-size bed. Drawers offer ample storage, whilst the dressing table is a perfect place to get yourself ready for the day ahead. Completing the property is the generous, minimalist bathroom, featuring an elegant roll-top bath, a walk-in shower and his and hers sinks.

Outside on the terrace, you can soak in the atmosphere with a cup of tea or a tasty treat at all times of the day whilst guests are also welcome to explore the well-cared-for gardens of Hob Green.

Yew Cottage is a luxury property in which to enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings and yet not be far from many attractions. All the furnishings are comfortable and good quality, with excellent lighting whether you want it bright or more subdued. The woodburner is the best we've seen. The kitchen is well equipped, and the welcome hamper had a lovelRead morey selection of Yorkshire goods. We would have no hesitation in returning. Hide

An excellent holiday cottage in a lovely location with very pleasant views over the fields. The proximity of Rippon and Harrogate, Fountains Abbey, the Brimham Rocks, Ripley Castle and Ilkley Moor, etc. gave us plenty to see and do. The welcome hamper was very generous and Chris, the caretaker, greeted us on arrival.
