Stroll along the banks of the River Foss or Ellers Beck and soak in the tranquillity. You can also take a nice circular walk from Crayke village itself to the Dutch House, located just under a mile away. Only 100 yards away from the property, the award-winning Durham Ox gastropub offers an irresistible menu crafted from local produce. Further afield, the North York Moors play host to an unbeatable network of footpaths and cycle routes.

 

Lesley and her two small dogs welcome you to this charming accommodation which is situated within the owners grounds. Step inside the cosy open-plan design which boasts high ceilings and patio doors to allow in lots of glorious light. Make your way to the sofa with a fresh brew and sink right into it. From here you can look through the patio doors onto the deck and gardens beyond. For rainy days and cosy evenings, a TV and DVD player are the perfect excuse to curl up together and watch a film. Wi-Fi is also provided so you can keep your friends and family updated. When you are ready to dig into your welcome hamper and rustle up some lunch, the kitchen is equipped with all you could need. With a two ring ceramic hob, oven, microwave and fridge with icebox. For ultimate convenience, you also have access to a washing machine, dryer and freezer in a separate building next to the property. To make your meal an occasion, you can choose between the dining table or the deck's outdoor table and chairs. When the land of nod calls, the bedroom awaits with a luxurious king-size bed that can also be made into two singles if you prefer. Enjoying an en-suite shower room complete with snuggly bathrobes, you can relax in style in your home-from-home.

 

Outside, the private decked balcony is sure to be a firm favourite. With table and chairs and picturesque views, it's the ideal spot to crack open a bottle of fizz and toast to a wonderful holiday.

A fantastic three night stay. Cant really say what walks nearby were like as there had been a lot of rain and flooding in the area. The Durham Ox is within 100 yds and food was great. Easingwold is only a couple of miles away with pubs and cafes. Visited York using park and ride and also Harrogate, both well worth a visit. We had a couple of minor Read moreissues at the cottage but these were immediately resolved by the lovely owner Lesley. Would love to go back. Hide
