Accommodation Details
All ground floor. One king-size double bedroom with en-suite shower, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area.
Quietly tucked away off the main street in the delightful village of Stillington, is this charming 18th century detached cottage. Once a working forge, this pretty little cottage makes a perfect romantic hideaway for couples to enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Howardian Hills with easy access to the historic city of York and picturesque market towns. With all ground floor accommodation, there is a spacious open plan living area with a high-pitched beamed ceiling, modern kitchen and comfortable sitting area. The charming double bedroom leads off from this, with an en-suite shower room. Outside the cottage, is an enclosed courtyard garden; a lovely sheltered spot to sit and relax in the sunshine. A short stroll brings you to the local amenities in this popular village, with pubs, an Indian restaurant, fish and chip shop and a village shop. Walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice with tracks in abundance in the immediate area, whilst the hourly bus service to York enables guests to leave their car behind to explore this fantastic city. A must is the Jorvik Viking Centre, the National Railway Museum and the famous York Minster. The nearby historic market towns of Easingwold and Thirsk both host weekly markets in their cobbled squares, lined with independent shops, tea rooms and inns and picturesque Helmsley has a wonderful display of colourful hanging baskets during the summer months. With easy access to the stunning scenery of North Yorkshire Moors and the east coast seaside towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey, this attractive cottage is well placed for a varied and interesting holiday.

Reviews
Cottage in a very pleasant village close to an excellent pub/restaurant. The owners were friendly. For us oldies it was absolutely fine.
The Forge was excellent and the owner was polite and friendly. I would without doubt recommend this holiday to anyone looking for amazing walks and peace and quiet the country side offers.
A brilliant little cottage which was really comfortable, cosy and private. A great spot for touring.
A very comfortable cottage which was immaculately clean with a very comfortable bed! In a central location for Yorkshire, with easy access to York but also close to the moors. Stillington is a very friendly clean village with good amenities.
