Step outside and you will find yourself in the very heart of the village. The local pub is just around the corner and serves delicious meals and traditional ale. There is also a well-stocked village shop and Post Office just across the road. A takeaway can also be found within walking distance. The remains of the 14th century Sheriff Hutton Castle keeps a watchful eye over the village; the castle was one of Richard III’s favourite castles, you can even see it from the rear main bedroom! There is a bus stop adjacent to the property with buses to York, Malton, and Castle Howard.
A short drive brings you to Castle Howard, famous as the home of Brideshead Revisited. With a year-round programme of events a visit here is a must.

Very well presented. Superbly equipped. Excellent welcome pack. Cottage one of best we’ve been in and we’ve been in a lot. Owners go the extra mile for their guests. Secure for dogs, not just enclosed, garden. Shop super handy. Great position for touring around. Had lovely holiday. Would not hesitate to book here again.

The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy.
The cottage was immaculately clean and tidy. It had all that was needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay near York. The owner was very helpful and was only a few miles away, providing us with an excellent welcome pack and a written information guide for our stay. The cottage was fully equipped with all the needs for a family of six - two showers, three toilets and two televisions. The beds and furniture were comfortable, modern, we thought we were walking into a show house. We went on the bus to York each day, the bus stop being next to the front door. The shop and post office opposite provided our daily needs; we went to the supermarket in Malton once for our week's shopping. We would certainly return for another enjoyable holiday.
Great property to stay at if visiting local or exploring area.
The property was clean and well presented, the gift basket and have the bbq equipment and local walks info was great touch. Would be good if had updated information on local businesses, post office opening hours didn't match what was online & queried about food at pub but always got told they where fully booked even though the pub didn't seem busy, advise to book in advance. Tried looking for the local butchers twice and even tried calling them but could locate.
