A warm welcome awaits as you drive into what was the old farmyard.

The freedom to wander up into the shared gardens where there’s a summerhouse, barbecue and outdoor games will appeal to families.
The cottage is a great base to visit the east coast, Dalby Forest, the North York Moors National Park, the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds made famous by the David Hockney paintings, and the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is some excellent cycling in the area with the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route on your doorstep, with its scenic 146-mile tour of the East Riding and North Yorkshire. With breathtaking views along the coast. The owner is a keen cyclist himself and knows exactly what you need by providing an excellent bike store, along with a repair and wash area and tools and sprays required for servicing the bikes.
The seaside resorts of Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey are just a short drive away with large, open sandy beaches, caves and coves, or for those of you who prefer a quieter resort, Flamborough Head is close by with stunning walks along the clifftops from North to South Landing.
Visit the stately homes and beautiful gardens of Burton Agnes, Castle Howard and Sledmere House, and a children’s zoo and land train at Sewerby Hall. The bustling market towns of Malton, Pickering and Beverley, renowned for its minster and racecourse, are all worth a visit.
The historic city of York is just an hour away with its wide variety of museums including the Railway Museum, Castle Museum and the Jorvik Viking centre. York is very picturesque with cobbled streets surrounding the magnificent minster, along with river boat trips, street entertainers and an abundance of restaurants and real ale inns.
In Buckton and Bempton villages, you are just ½ mile from a cafe and art gallery, the village post office and corner shop, as well as the local pub, The White Horse.

The cottage was very well presented and spotlessly clean. The amenities were good and especially liked the meadow walk with our dog Casper. Lot's of wildlife including Barn Owls etc. The Single Beds were uncomfortable however and linen was all Polyester which makes you overheat, we had to buy a fan to cool down and also the pillows were uncomfortable. The washing machine was unusable as the rubber seal was covered in mildew and smelly. The two settees were low backed and very uncomfortable to spend anytime sitting for vlong periods. Overall it was a nice and enjoyable stay but glad to get home for a good night's sleep and sit in comfort.

A clean well equipped cottage ideal for families with pets. The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. The hosts had gone that extra mile to make sure we felt welcome. They had provided a pint of milk, some biscuits and some tea and coffee sachets as well as a hand written note welcoming us. The cottage also has its own little garden and summer house. We also enjoyed going for a walk around the meadow at the back of the property. This place is definitely ideal if you have a dog. A t.v in the master bedroom would have been a nice touch but the fact that the rest of the place was amazing more than compensated for this mising feature.
