An exquisite period hideaway at Sutton-on-the-Forest, this bijou North Yorkshire bolthole is perfect for a romantic retreat. Sleeping two guests and welcoming two furry friends, the property is attached to a Grade I-listed stately home with access to shared gardens of 50 acres for you and your pet to explore. Venture into historic York (9 miles) to admire the famous minster and wander the narrow medieval streets of the Shambles, pausing to browse in the shops or dine out. Head 6 miles to the Howardian Hills National Landscape for long walks through spectacular scenery. Plan a day trip to Castle Howard, 11 miles away, to tour the country house and wander through its landscaped gardens. Journey 25 miles into Harrogate to pamper yourselves at the renowned Turkish baths.
Let yourselves into this gorgeous, 17th-century cottage to find welcoming accommodation that blends character and style. Wander through to the spacious, light-filled lounge, with its dual-aspect windows, plantation shutters and colourful, comfortable seating. Light the open fire in here on cooler days then help yourself to a book from the shelves to read or cuddle up on the sofa to watch TV. Make yourselves a cup of tea in the kitchen to enjoy with the freshly baked slice of Yorkshire parkin you have bought or pour yourselves a glass of wine to sip as you cook. You will find all you need in here to help you whip up delicious meals for two. As day turns to night, climb the stairs to your delightful bedroom, with its sage green panelled walls and polished wooden floor. Run a warming bubble bath in the freestanding tub in the en-suite before laying your head on your pillow for the perfect night’s sleep.
Savour the fresh air and sunshine out in the courtyard garden on summer days. Light the BBQ and dine under the stars, enjoying your peaceful surroundings long into the evening. There is private parking for one car.
