Retreat to this inviting Yorkshire cottage for two, which sits on a working farm, just 1.5 miles from the village of Stamford Bridge, known for its famous battle of 1066. Sleeping just two guests, the delightful, one-bedroom abode is perfect for a couple seeking a romantic break together or simply time away from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Set approximately 3.5 miles from the edge of the spectacular Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the handsome, single-storey farm conversion is in an ideal location for those who enjoy walking, cycling and spending time in the great outdoors.
Plan walks and rides from the front door of the cottage. Try the 3-mile Stamford Bridge and the River Derwent Circular, for example, or the 10-mile, circular route, which takes you along the top of a viaduct. Venture further from home and drive out into the scenic York Moors National Park for the day. This begins about 23 miles away and offers a great choice of footpaths and cycle routes through all kinds of landscapes.
Wander into this welcoming holiday property to discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that will quickly become the heart of the home while you are here. Take it easy in here after your exciting days out, find a film to enjoy together on the Smart TV and make plans for the following day. Prepare a tasty dinner for two in the kitchen area on those nights you feel like staying in, then dine together at the breakfast bar.
Have a hot shower in the en-suite shower room before heading off to bed. Lay your heads in the comfortable, double bedroom and open the double doors in here on warm mornings to let in a summer breeze. Decide whether to have a lazy morning watching TV in bed or to take a fresh cup of coffee out into the sunshine.
Make the most of your private, enclosed patio whenever the weather is fine. BBQ your supper out here on warm summer evenings or take a stroll around the gorgeous, shared gardens within the grounds. There’s plenty of parking at this cottage and you can store your bikes securely.
