    “There were some inconsistencies in the directions to this cottage which we had to clarify with the owner, but aside from that, this cottage is in a great location, is nicely decorated and equipped and very comfortable despite being small.”

    The furniture and furnishings were comfortable and we slept well here plus there’s a private outdoor area, lovely in the sun. The village has a great small shop, two pubs and an excellent Indian restaurant. Location wise, it’s close to great walks, historic homes, country parks and the coast. Only minor criticisms are the TV remote some buttons not working at all and the barn door to the en-suite bathroom which is very noisy at night. To answer previous criticism the kitchen tap no longer ...

To answer previous criticism the kitchen tap no longer drips and the sofa has been replaced. A great village stay.

The property

Quietly tucked away off the main street in the delightful village of Stillington, is this charming 18th century detached cottage.

Once a working forge, this pretty little cottage makes a perfect romantic hideaway for couples to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Howardian Hills with easy access to the historic city of York and picturesque market towns.

With all ground floor accommodation, there is a spacious open plan living area with a high-pitched beamed ceiling, modern kitchen and comfortable sitting area.

The charming double bedroom leads off from this, with an en-suite shower room.

Outside the cottage, is an enclosed courtyard garden; a lovely sheltered spot to sit and relax in the sunshine.

A short stroll brings you to the local amenities in this popular village, with pubs, an Indian restaurant, fish and chip shop and a village shop.

Walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice with tracks in abundance in the immediate area, whilst the hourly bus service to York enables guests to leave their car behind to explore this fantastic city.

A must is the Jorvik Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum and the famous York Minster.

The nearby historic market towns of Easingwold and Thirsk both host weekly markets in their cobbled squares, lined with independent shops, tea rooms and inns and picturesque Helmsley has a wonderful display of colourful hanging baskets during the summer months.

With easy access to the stunning scenery of North Yorkshire Moors and the east coast seaside towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey, this attractive cottage is well placed for a varied and interesting holiday.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
