About this property
A delightful mid-terrace cottage, next door to the owner's home, on the edge of the quiet rural village of Kilham, mid way between Driffield and Bridlington in the Yorkshire Wolds. A brick-built cottage with whitewashed façade and pantile roof, this character Kilham cottage boasts original beamed ceilings and a brick fireplace which houses a cosy woodburning stove. There are two comfortable bedrooms in this Driffield cottage, one with an original brick fireplace and views over open countryside. On the ground floor there is a sitting room with dining area and woodburning stove and a small, well-equipped kitchen which opens on to a patio leading to a lawned rear garden with hot tub and changing facilities. Kilham offers one pub. Further afield are the market towns of Driffield, Beverley, Hornsea and Hunmanby, all of which offer shopping and dining facilities, plus Bridlington has award-winning, sandy beaches. RSPB Bempton Cliffs nature reserve is famous for puffins and gannets in the summer and Flamborough has wonderful limestone cliffs on view along the bracing coastal footpaths. The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route is less than a mile from the cottage, and it's on the Hockney Trail, plus the historic resort of Whitby and the delights of York are both within an easy drive. This Kilham cottage is ideally placed for a varied and interesting holiday.
The village of Kilham is situated in Yorkshire Wolds countryside, 7 miles from the town of Driffield and 9 miles from Bridlington. The village offers two pubs, a shop, a Post Office, two churches and a butchers. Excellent walking and cycling can be enjoyed nearby, or you may wish to visit Driffield with its variety of shops and tearooms and twice-weekly market, or alternatively the sandy beaches in Bridlington.

The cottage itself was absolutely lovely nice and clean lovely welcome gift as it was Christmas, what really let it down was that you had to park on a grass verge which is not good in the winter and also for a dog friendly cottage until we got there the back garden was completely open so could not let dog off of lead which I feel should be in the cottage description this is the first dog friendly cottage we have had over the last 10 years with Sykes that you can't let your dog out on its own

Owners greeted us and explained everything we needed to know, most importantly how to get the log burner going and how to work the hot tub

The hot tub appears to be 2 gardens away which is at the back of the owners home, therefore not giving you total privacy. There was no light to the hot tub in the dark and there is a small step as you walk along the path to which I stumbled off. The location is lovely and quiet and central for visiting other locations.
