Whether you’re curled up in front of the log-burning stove or allowing your cares to melt away in the outdoor hot tub, this quaint cottage will wrap you up in a blanket of comfort and calm. The place is charmingly rustic, in keeping with its old granary heritage – think exposed timber beams, low ceilings, wood elements and cosy furnishings. Get to know your neighbours on arrival – your home is situated next to the paddock where Dave the llama and Bob the pony roam and graze. When you’re ready to explore, lace up your walking boots and delve into the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, or head out to York city centre, just a twenty-minute drive away. Shop along the medieval Shambles before checking out the wealth of characterful restaurants, bars and cafes.
