  • Charming barn conversion in peaceful rural setting with idyllic garden with al fresco dining table, swing and see-saw
  • Open-plan accommodation with wood burner for cosy evenings in
  • River and parkland walks on the doorstep, located between the grand Yorkshire estates of Sandhall and Saltmarshe
Property code: OC-G0104

Looking out over an apple orchard which gives the cottage its name, this charming barn conversion offers an attractive interior and a peaceful rural setting. Boasting everything you could need for a relaxing break in this captivating part of Yorkshire, the property is beautifully furnished and set betwixt the two grand Yorkshire estates of Sandhall and Saltmarshe. The perfect escape to the country.

All the accommodation in the cottage is on one level and at the heart of this property is the open-plan living space. The light and comfortable lounge area has plenty of space to relax and unwind with a choice of two sofas to curl up on. You can light the wood burner for extra cosiness and spend an evening catching up on your favourite shows on the TV and DVD.

Stylish room dividers help to separate the sitting area from the kitchen/diner which has everything you need to rustle up something delicious and then enjoy it with family or friends afterwards. Clean units and solid wooden worktops give the kitchen a chic country look and you'll find a gas oven and hob, fridge, sink and handy dishwasher, so no-one has to do the washing up. The large circular wooden dining table sits at the heart of the kitchen. A separate utility area is right next to the kitchen and contains a freezer, washing machine and microwave. You'll also find a rail for coats and extra storage for your boots and shoes.

The cottage has two large bedrooms which both have super king-size beds and access to their own bathrooms - after all who wants to share when you can have your own? Each bedroom can be set up with twin beds if preferred making this property flexible for couples, families, and groups of friends.

Bedroom one leads off from the kitchen (up a small step) and mixes warm hues with classic painted furniture pieces including an antique occasional chair. This bedroom has its own en-suite shower room with a large shower to get you ready for the day ahead. Please note, there is a small step into the shower. Bedroom two is at the other side of the cottage and is an elegant oasis of calm with muted tones. Right next to this bedroom is the separate family bathroom which includes a P-shaped bath, overhead shower, Karndean slate grey flooring and a light-up cosmetic mirror.

Outside the property is a small apple orchard where you can watch your children playing on the swing and seesaw whilst enjoying a drink on the paved area under the apple trees.

Our second Christmas at Appletree cottages and it was perfect! Spacious and quiet and well equipped. Lovely walks by the river and we enjoyed the Tractor Run in Howden. We hope to return.

The cottage is set in a lovely orchard setting. It is quite spacious as holiday rents go and the area ideal for walks as it is very flat countryside. The Trans Pennine Trail goes past the cottage alongside the river. It does have a 2 mile drive on single track roads to reach civilisation but that becomes part of the charm. We thoroughly enjoyed ourRead more stay with our two Cockapoos and would recommend the West Park in Goole for relaxed dog walking, on or off lead. Hide

A superb cottage. Decor, comfort, fabulous bed, Helpful and friendly owner. Beautiful situation with parkland all around. The log fire was a boon during a bitterly cold and snowy spell while we were in Orchard Cottage. All was beautiful!
