This beautiful village has various gift shops, a chocolate shop, craft shop, many tea rooms, and a newly refurbished pub which serves great food and all within a few minutes walk from the cottage.

Holly Cottage is a wonderful home from home. Everything you could need is provided, lots of space for everyone and a brilliant garden that’s was full secure for our little dog. Steps away from the moors with great walks from the doorstep. Would recommend to anyone looking for a country getaway. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely Cottage
Holly Cottage is a well equipped cottage, with everything you could need, in a very typical pretty Yorkshire village. Very comfortable, and a good wood burner in the sitting room, making it cosy, although the kitchen area was also so nice we spent a lot of time in there too. Very comfortable beds in good sized bedrooms too. Hutton Le Hole is a pretty village, with easy access to good roads for travel to the coast and York, but with plenty to do in the immediate area too, including Castle Howard being only 20 minutes or so away. The moors are only a step away from the cottage, making dog walks a pleasure, and the local pub is good, I can recommend their Sunday lunch! We travelled as a 3 generation family, and it was perfect for all of us, even our dog. We would like to return in the future and hope that the next time we visit it has stopped raining!

Beautiful stay in a beautiful village
Holly Cottage was the perfect stay for our family of 8 for Christmas. The house gave us more than enough space and the village is beautiful. There are many walks and lovely country pubs to visit nearby. We’d love to stay again one time.

Fantastic cottage, lovely location
Holly Cottage didn't disappoint. Looks fantastic in the pictures and is just as nice in reality. The kitchen in particular is a great space but whole house has a nice relaxing feel. Very clean and well maintained. Hutton le Hole is a great base for the Moors and coast. Good walks from the village. Crown serves superb Sunday roast! Highly recommended.

Nice stay with some issues
8 of us (4 adults and 4 children under 10 years) stayed here for 4 nights over New Year. Pros - Large, bright, modern kitchen with under floor heating and plenty kitchenware. - EV charging and parking for 2 large cars - Large living room with log burner - 4 good sized bedrooms, 1 with ensuite. - Downstairs toilet - Good sized dining room with seating for 6-8 people - Great location in the heart of Hutton le Hole - nice welcome gifts on arrival - thank you. Cons - Check in time of 1700 is really too late. I've never stayed at another property with such a late check in. It makes things a challenge arriving with 4 young children in late December - the downstairs snug area appeared to have some form of leak/condensation problem - from arrival part of the rug was sopping wet and stayed this way for the majority of the stay (water was coming up from the tiles). This must have been known before our stay as there are water stains in the room and other mats down to mask the issue. - on the 3rd night we lost power to the sockets in the living (same side of house as wet snug area - suspect there's a problem with water ingress on that side of house). The host did respond when we raised this and suggested we speak to housekeeper about running another cable into room. - lots of condensation/damp on windowsill in bedroom on same side of house. Not ideal to have a sopping wet flannel on the windsill with a note advising of condensation. Other points - check out of 0930 would have meant a very early start but the host kindly offered a later checkout when we asked.

This is a lovely cottage. It is exactly as advertised. All the rooms are very clean and inviting. Very spacious. It was an ideal place to spend my special birthday with friends.

The cottage is full of character, spacious and comfortable, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It’s located close to the very friendly pub and other local amenities. Hutton-le-Hole is the prettiest of places and an excellent location for exploring the moors, local towns and villages and the coast. We’re hoping for a return visit!

Mums and Daughters holiday
The cottage is beautiful and very well stocked, the village pub serves beautiful food and the owners are very welcoming. We had three teenagers and the area was a bit too quiet for them but go ape and flamingo land were a short drive away and it meant the dog had lots of long walks and the Mums had a lot of piece and quiet. The communication with the owner was very good and any issues would be sorted very quickly. The garden is enclosed so the dog could play out without worrying she would escape. A lovely week was had by all.

Lovely house in wonderful location. We discovered on the first evening that 2of the 3 toilets were leaking . I spoke on the phone to the owner the next morning and was told that the caretaker would attend . This didn’t happen and we had no further communication from the owner or caretaker. It was a bit cool at times when in the older parts of the house. The large sitting room needed a thorough vacuuming!

Beautiful house in a picturesque village.
This was just the perfect place to stay - especially when a storm is forecast! We didn't get out to see the surrounding areas due to the weather but it didn't matter because the house was so lovely and easily met the needs of us all. The log fire was a real winner along with the sociable kitchen. The local village was very pretty in the snow and allowed us to have a lovely walk. The local businesses were perfect for our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Mayatt

Host profile image
Liz and Gary bought Holly Cottage in the year 2000 after holidaying in Hutton-le-Hole when Liz was a child and wanting to bring her own children to the village that she loved. They still use Holly Cottage as many times a year as possible with their children, friends and family.

Why they chose this property

We bought Holly Cottage in January 2000. This was our project for the new millennium! There was a lot of work to be done so we got to work renovating it and managed to complete all the work in 7 months. We then started letting it and have done since July 2000 and have continued updating the cottage with decoration and furniture every year. We holiday ourselves in Holly Cottage as often as we can and still love spending as much time there as possible. We have recently had an extension which has a new kitchen. We have turned our old kitchen into a snug and office.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful location overlooking the village and valleys. Holly Cottage is even featured on postcards sold in the village. Very spacious and warm - perfect for coming home to after a day exploring.
