    “Lovely, well kept, clean place we were there with our 2 dogs late on in the year even had a snow day and the place was lovely and warm, the welcome pack was appreciated as we arrived very late, did let Crysta know and the lights were left on outside for us.”

    Great base for visits to other places loved the secluded beaches where our dogs could run free. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice quiet place to stay as a base.

The property

This splendid, one-bedroom cottage sits within a private courtyard in the quaint village of Skipsea, East Riding of Yorkshire.

With ground-floor accommodation, The Old Tractor Shed provides a lovely escape for couples eager to explore the coastline and spend time visiting the large seaside resorts of Bridlington, Hornsea and Scarborough.

Boasting a bright and cheerful open-plan living area with exposed timbers, there is a well-equipped kitchen hosting all the mod cons required for a short break, a smart dining set and a snug seating area with bookcase and TV.

Furnished to a high standard throughout, the pretty bedroom leads off the sitting area and hosts a plush Kingsize bed with neat ample wardrobe space for your personal items.

Completing the interior is the contemporary shower room, a refreshing space to prepare for the day.

The Old Tractor Shed is ideally situated to explore the Yorkshire Wolds made famous by David Hockney who has lived in Bridlington.

The local village of Skipsea caters for everyday needs and has access to the coast and beach, whilst the traditional seaside town of Hornsea lies just five miles away.

Those budding historians can visit the wonders of Skipsea Castle, which was a Norman motte and bailey castle dating back to around 1086, showcasing a wealth of historical architecture.

Within a mile walk from the cottage will bring you to a gentle beach, which is ideal for those wanting a more calm atmosphere, while Scarborough, a bustling seaside town farther afield, promises to be a fun-filled day out.

Wildlife lovers and walkers have Flamborough Headland Heritage Coast within easy reach for idyllic coastal paths, sandy bays, and spotting the likes of puffins along RSPB Bempton Cliffs.

The majestic homes of Sledmere House, Burton Agnes Hall, and Burton Constable Hall are all worth seeing, and a day trip to York's stunning ancient city is a must.

However you choose to spend your holiday time, return to the charm of The Old Tractor Shed for an evening of relaxation.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

SKIPSEA

Hornsea 6 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; Driffield 11 miles; Beverley 15 miles.

The village of Skipsea is situated in the Yorkshire Wolds, in a typically rural setting surrounded by rich, agricultural land, yet Skipsea also sits within one mile of the beach and is close to the cliffs of the North Sea. The village has its own Post Office and general store, a hairdresser’s and a pub. Many of the houses in the village, both old and new, use cobbles from the sea shore in the building. Just outside the village are the remains of Skipsea Castle. The surrounding countryside is excellent for walking and cycling, whilst the nearby seaside towns of Bridlington and Filey boast long sandy beaches and numerous resort attractions. The Deep Submarium at Hull, Sledmere House and Burton Constable Hall are within 20 miles, whilst the shops, cathedral and museum of historic York, the resort town of Scarborough and the North Yorks Moors Steam Railway at Pickering are within an hour’s drive, and Whitby is just a little further, making Skipsea a superb base for a relaxing holiday.
