Beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings with a very warm welcome from the owners. Spotlessly clean, fully equipped with all essentials and lovely extra touches such as games and books. Central for exploring York and the moors and coastline . Would recommend golf club just a few minutes away and the stunning Burro Restaurant in Riccall for eatingRead more out Hide

The Pigeon Cote is a perfect little home away from home in the tranquility of the Yorkshire countryside. Well decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything and there was even basic food items in the cupboard and fridge - salt, pepper, tomato sauce, beans, porridge and of course tea and milk! The stairs up to the mezRead morezanine bedroom are quite steep but we were careful and had no issues. Hide

This property was absolutely stunning!! So much thought and love has gone into making it an amazing place to stay. The little details were lovely and keeping the original pigeon nesting areas in the walls was so lovely to see!! Every day we saw something new. You could literally go there and apart from shopping, the cottage had all the utensils andRead more equipment you could possibly need for self catering, and more!!!! Thank you so much for an amazing week. Hide
