A beautifully converted former farm building, this single-storey retreat offers comfortable, stylish accommodation. Sleeping four guests, it is perfect for a small family group or for two couples on holiday together. Situated in the quiet hamlet of Stittenham, on the edge of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is ideal for keen walkers and cyclists. Spectacular stately home Castle Howard, famous for its appearances in both the television series and film version of Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, is 4 miles away, while the historic city of York, where you can visit the minster, immerse yourselves in the Jorvik Viking Centre and potter in the shops of the Shambles, is 12 miles away.
Enter this sunny retreat to find airy, single-storey accommodation, with vaulted ceilings, beautiful beams and underfloor heating. The heart of the cottage is the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can spread out and unwind after your long walks. Choose a film on the Smart TV or read your books for an hour or two, then wander over to the stylish kitchen area to prepare meals with the fresh local produce. When you are ready to turn in for the night, make your way to either the double bedroom, with en-suite shower room and doors on to a patio, or the twin room. There is also an attractive family bathroom, with an elegant, freestanding bath to soak in.
Sit out on the patio in the private garden at this cottage to fully appreciate the magnificent views. Dine out here too on warm evenings. You are surrounded by extensive open farmland making this a fantastic rural retreat
