Come and stay at this charming and hopelessly romantic cottage. This gorgeous one-bedroom bolthole is set in a pretty village just outside York and is ideal for couples looking to explore this vibrant historic city. With its fabulous interiors and beautiful location, it's also rather perfect for honeymoons too!
Set within a recently converted building on the grounds of a stunning manor house, this property is a peaceful retreat designed for two. The layout is upside down, with a spacious master bedroom on the ground floor and the living accommodation upstairs.
Make your way in via the entrance hall and step into a bright contemporary bedroom. This generous room boasts warm oak floorboards and a striking king-size four-poster bed. Patio doors lead out onto a private sun-filled patio which looks directly towards the walled gardens of this period house. Wake up early in the morning, throw open the doors and let the birds' dawn chorus drift softly into the room. The en-suite bathroom in this spacious room is equally impressive. A generous wet room with a large stand-in shower, monsoon shower head and heated floors is the perfect retreat. We love the sleek modern design, the ideal place to freshen up every day.
Let's move upstairs to discover the large living area, a light-filled space with stunning views out to the garden from the French doors. There's a cosy lounge area with a comfortable leather sofa to cuddle up on. Settle down in the evenings with a movie on the LCD Smart TV which also comes equipped with satellite channels. There's Wi-Fi included too if you want to catch up with friends and relatives online.
The kitchen and dining area are also up here. The immaculate bespoke kitchen boasts chunky wooden doors, a shiny marble worktop and a stylish Smeg fridge/freezer. You'll find all mod cons and plenty of cooking equipment and crockery if you're a bit of a foodie. Rustle up something special and enjoy a romantic meal for two as you plan the next day's activities.
Outside, the property really lives up to its name. Settle down on the completely private patio and enjoy a lazy lunch alfresco, with only the sound of birds to disturb you. The extensive grounds of the main house are available for your use and include a large lawned garden and orchard to explore. There are also rare-breed pigs and chickens to discover. This delightful property is a little slice of holiday heaven in Yorkshire.
