Property code: OC-87323

Set in the grounds of the owner’s home, tucked away in the picturesque village of Tockwith which is steeped in history. Tockwith is famed for its role in the English Civil War and lies just 1.5 miles from Marston Moor where one of the biggest battles ever on British soil took place. The area is a paradise for walkers and cyclists with an abundance of tracks and trails straight from the doorstep. The vibrant city of York is just 9 miles away where you can browse the cobbled streets, take a stroll around the ancient city walls, or visit one of the renowned museums, including the Jorvik Viking Centre. For a spot of retail therapy, the popular spa town of Harrogate (13 miles) can be reached in just over half an hour.

This beautiful single-level accommodation has been wonderfully converted from a former stable, retaining beams and many original features. As you enter the property you are greeted by a bright and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Relax on the comfortable sofas and watch a movie on the Smart TV or take a seat around the dining table and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen area is stylish and fully equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Along the corridor you will find a well-appointed king-size bedroom, filled with light from the large windows. To complete the interior is an elegant bathroom with shower over the bath and WC.

Stepping outside, you can enjoy a morning coffee from the private patio and relax in the summer sun. Guests also have shared use of the owner’s extensive garden. There is off-road parking for one car and a garage for secure cycle storage on request.

Great location for York and the Dales. Comfortable and warm. Would advise anyone thinking of visiting the Spotted Ox in Tockwith for a meal not to do so.

Comfortable stay with lovely, friendly hosts. The converted barn overlooks well kept gardens and is quiet and peaceful. Bed comfy and we slept really well after lots of fresh air on our day trips out. Its in a great location for touring Yorkshire around York, Harrogate, Wetherby and beyond. There are a couple of pubs in the village within an easy sRead moretroll and our hosts shared some great tips for other locations, best places for park and ride into York etc. Recommended! Hide

The property is in a very quiet village which is well placed to explore the surrounding area by car. The kitchen is well equipped - easy to cook a proper meal if you so desire, or lots of places to eat out a short drive away. Living area and bedroom felt comfortable and cosy. It was a great place to relax after busy days being a tourist. Sasha and Read moreRichard were very friendly and welcoming and we really appreciated the local recommendations and the lemon drizzle cake. Hope to return one day! Hide

The cottage was spotless and had all that we needed. The bed is super comfortable (not always the case!) which meant we had some great nights sleep. The location is so quiet - no noise at all!

Beautiful property in a great location for exploring both Harrogate and York. The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. The owners were very helpful and although it's located within the garden it feels private enough from the main house
