    “Wow! What an amazing comfortable welcoming cottage.”

    It had everything we needed and the owner had added some special touches like home made scones jam and cream that were amazing!! wine, dog treats biscuits. There was plenty of cleaning materials, bin bags, loo rolls etc which is often not the case. We even had access to a very large field opposite the cottage which we used to play with the dogs. It isn’t secure but there are fences all round and trees if you have dogs that recal well. Quiet and lovely. Would highly recommend. Great owners ...

The property

Sitting in Hambleton Hough nature reserve between the villages of Gateforth and Hambleton in North Yorkshire, not far from the market town of Selby, is this charming, detached single-storey dwelling, Claire Cottage, adjacent, and private from, the owners house.

Enjoying an enclosed rear patio and ground-floor living, this pet-friendly Yorkshire property is perfect for two couples or families seeking a relaxing retreat.

Following an eventful day of activities, return to the comfort of the sitting room and unwind beneath the rustic beams on one of the armchairs or the sofa, with a large TV to enjoy and an open fire to keep you warm on winter nights, it's a homely spot.

The kitchen/diner is a contemporary space with large windows looking out to the enclosed patio, with a fitted kitchen containing all the appliances for some fantastic home-cooking, with a dining table to gather around and toast to your well earned break.
