Holiday rental accommodation in York, North Yorkshire

Accommodation details

Sitting in a pretty complex of properties on the outskirts of the charming village of Ellerton, this gorgeous, 16th-century farmhouse sleeps four people over two bedrooms and is a luxurious accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends who want to experience the historic beauty of York together.

During the day, visit the iconic York Minster - one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe – before returning home to the cottage's patio to fire up the BBQ and enjoy an al fresco dinner with your nearest and dearest. With its bespoke furniture and effortless elegance, this luxurious retreat welcomes guests with a striking hallway that leads to the main living area, where you'll find a delightful blend of contemporary and rustic styling.

Make your way to the sleek, well-appointed kitchen/dining area to rustle up some dinner and then gather everyone to eat at the sunlit dining table. After dinner, head to the mezzanine floor and pour yourself a glass of wine in front of the Smart TV. At the end of the day, two elegant bedrooms are waiting for you on the ground floor - one beautiful queen-size bedroom with a copper bath tucked in the corner, and a stylish double.

To complete the layout, you'll find a well-appointed bathroom with a relaxing walk-in shower. Step outside to take in the peaceful, countryside views that surround you. Here, unwind on the landscape patio where outdoor furniture and a BBQ invite al fresco evening meals. History buffs will love uncovering the ancient marvels at the Yorkshire Museum (15 miles).

Featuring treasures from the Roman, Viking and Medieval eras, it showcases renowned artifacts like the York Helmet and the Middleham Jewel. Alternatively, drive to the lovely Yorkshire Lavender (27 miles) attraction and unwind in its fragrant fields. Afterwards, visit the distillery to learn all about the lavender oil production process.
