This adorable cottage is a super-cosy one-bedroom bijou retreat tucked away in the owners grounds in a very pretty village in the North York Moors. With one of Yorkshire's finest gastro pubs just a stone's throw away, it's the perfect couples escape. Enjoy an evening sundowner on the decked balcony deciding on which great local restaurant to try out first. A real chocolate box holiday cottage, it is perfectly proportioned for two guests. Set within the grounds of a beautiful country farm house it offers total peace and tranquillity within the comforts of Yorkshire village life.

 

The main living space is all open plan, and with high ceilings and wonderful patio doors it gives the cottage a bright and comfortable feel. The kitchen provides everything you need to cook including a ceramic hob, oven and microwave. There's also a fridge with an icebox - essential for those afternoons, relaxing in the garden with a cool drink. And if you need it, you also have access to a washing machine, dryer and larger freezer in a separate building beside the cottage. Guests will arrive to a yummy welcome hamper of essentials with a few treats thrown in, and some home-brewed sloe gin too for that afternoon tipple.

 

There is comfortable and stylish sofa to sink into each evening, the perfect place to curl up and watch a movie on the TV/DVD. Wi-Fi is also provided if you want to catch up online. The dining table is set by the patio doors affording a gorgeous view of the gardens and North York Moors countryside beyond. Throw open the doors and enjoy lunch to the lovely sound of birdsong all around. And when it's time for bed you can look forward to a king-size bed dressed in crisp white cotton bedding. This bed can also be set up as two singles if required. The generous bedroom is again bright and elegant in style and has the benefit of an en-suite shower room. Luxurious bath robes are provided too so you can lounge about in complete comfort! The perfect way to end your day's sightseeing in Yorkshire. The star of the show is the wonderful views from your own private decked balcony. Looking down across the Vale of York your view is completely uninterrupted and it's the perfect spot for that morning coffee. There's also lockable storage for bicycles.

The village of Crayke is only Read morea few miles from Easingwold and is just in the Howden Hills National Park, which provided some lovely walks. Would definitely return and recommend. Hide

A bijou cottage in a delightful spot in a pretty village. We were very comfortable for our week and enjoyed exploring National Trust houses, the steam railway to Whitby and York itself- all easy to reach. A short walk to the Durham Ox in the village for meals and good walking locally. The owner was friendly and welcoming.

We've not stayed in a one bed accommodation before, but this was perfect for us, it had everything we needed, was in a great location and Lesley our host could not have done more for us. If you're looking for peace & quiet with places to visit etc. only a relatively short distance away, plus a well thought out hamper, this is it.

Very pleasant, comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage with lovely surrounding gardens. Blessed with good weather, the balcony came into its own. Crayke is really central for visiting many places of interest and also convenient for York and the East Yorkshire coast. Really enjoyable stay - will definitely be back.
