Nestled within stunning Yorkshire countryside, this cosy newly renovated hideaway offers the perfect romantic retreat. Located at the southern edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the charming village of Crayke, it’s ideal for solo adventurers, couples and dog lovers that love the great outdoors.

Located in a private courtyard with a group of similar properties, this delightful stone cottage is surrounded by ancient woodland, farmland and meandering rivers. Plus it’s only 3 miles from the Georgian market town of Easingwold, renowned as a foodie paradise.

This single-storey cottage is bursting with charm and relaxed rural elegance from the moment you step inside. With an ornamental brick fireplace, the lounge invites you to rest and recharge after a day of wandering over moorland and exploring pretty market towns. Snuggle on the sofa with your loved one to review your pictures of the day, and enjoy cosy evenings catching up with your favourite TV shows over a bottle of wine.

Bright and modern, the kitchen is well equipped for you to rustle up hearty breakfasts, picnic lunches and satisfying suppers with delicious Yorkshire produce found in farmers’ markets and artisan shops. Then settle down for a romantic meal for two in the dining room or head outside to the pretty courtyard garden to dine alfresco.

The outside space is a delight. Take your morning cuppa to the bench at the side of the property and start your day with the sound of birdsong and glorious country views. There’s also a small courtyard with a bench, a bistro table and chairs, and pretty flower boxes, perfect for outside meals and evening sundowners.

When it’s time to rest your head, a warm and welcoming king-size bedroom invites you to get cosy under the covers. Next door, a tastefully presented bathroom ensures a refreshing start to your day.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully furnished cottage; everything is of a high standard and immaculately clean. The bed and sofa are extremely comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. Instructions were avaialble for everything and the owners are on hand with any queries (allowed us early check in and late check out at no extra Read morecharge which was greatly appreciated). The surroundings are very peaceful with sounds of birds and farm animals - with lots of quaint villages and things to do within a short drive. We would definitely recommend the cottage and would most definitely book to stay there again.... thank you for a lovely short retreat... Hide

Despite being next door to other visitors, we didnt hear or see anyone else other than the hosts. The setting is lovely and there were walks for our canine friend, plus the facilities are first class. The location is close enough to Easingwold to be convenient for shops/ cafes and pubs, all of which extend a warm welcome to visitors. The location iRead mores also conveient for day trips to Darlington, English Heritage sites ( castles and the like) plus of course York with all its attractions. Hide
