Situated on the outskirts of the  charming little village of Ellerton, home to a traditional country pub and scenic views in all directions, but also within easy reach of York, this accommodation offers a best of both worlds getaway. Bask in the delightful village atmosphere and enjoy a slow-paced getaway to the countryside or venture into York, located just 15.5 miles away.

Step inside to reveal a dramatic hallway leading through to the main living area.

Rustle up some home cooked food using the local produce on offer before sitting down to enjoy it at the sun-bathed dining table. The lounge is home to a snug L-shaped sofa so you can put your feet up and truly unwind following a day of discovery. Both bedrooms are located on the ground level, the generous master is home to a queen-size bed, complete with plush soft furnishings promising a restful night's sleep. What's more, in the corner is a fabulous copper bath just calling out for long candlelit soaks of an evening. The second bedroom is a beautifully finished double. The house bathroom is a show-stopping wet room, complete with walk-in shower and country-chic copper sink. There is an additional mezzanine floor (not to be used as bedroom), complete with a day-bed, TV and PS3, a wonderful escape for children and adults alike.

 

There is much to be appreciated outside also; step through the French doors in the lounge leading directly onto an attractive landscape patio set beside a horses' paddock. Outdoor furniture is provided so you can fire up the BBQ and enjoy a spot of al fresco dining during the warmer months.

Such a lovely place to stay! Feels very secure with the gated entrance and the accommodation literally has everything you could need. Not too far if you want to go into York and the drive itself is lovely. The hosts were very welcoming with great communication before and after our stay. Would love to return!

We have stayed at Harry's Cottage before. Lovely cottage, lovely owners and really good distance to York and Castle Howard. Highly recommend. We ate in quite a few nights using local supermarkets but also ate out at St Vincent's Arms (highly recommend) and The Drovers Arms (Sunday roast was good). Lovely old railway line walk not far in Bubwith andRead more Allerthorpe Nature Reserve. If you like gardens Burnby Hall isn't far, and although small is worth a look. Hide

A lovely, beautifully decorated and well appointed cottage well located for exploring York and the surrounding area.
