The historic city of York, 12 miles, is easily accessible and appeals to all ages with its wealth of world renowned attractions including the magnificent minster, the castle and railway museum, The Jorvik Centre and the Chocolate Story. There are art galleries and theatres, quirky shops along the cobbled streets and numerous inns serving real ale.

Visit the abbey ruins at Kirkham Priory and Rievaulx, and the National Trust properties at Nunnington and Beningbrough.

This is our second time at the cottage. We love it ! It is a home from home. Plenty of seating, spacious rooms and bedrooms. Yes, you do need a car but there is plenty to do and you cannot fault the hosts who go out of their way to make sure your stay is wonderful.

Country cottage with great views and lovely walks. Friendly & helpful hosts. Recommend the walk from the cottage to Castle Howard (4.2 miles each way). The park & ride into York works well.
