About the property
One of three luxury retreats on the site, Cowdale Cottage is perfect for a relaxing countryside escape with family and friends in a peaceful setting. Your holiday begins at the winding driveway that is lined with blossom trees in spring and surrounded by unspoilt countryside. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a cosy living space with a country-style vibe throughout, three en-suite bedrooms and a south-facing garden and terrace with breathtaking views. Should you wish to explore the area, there is an abundance of walking and cycling routes on the doorstep or you can venture to the historic city of York for a family-friendly day out.
The space
Step inside the cottage and into the warm and welcoming kitchen/dining room. The room is adorned with country-style décor, while the kitchen provides everything you should need to self-cater with ease including an electric oven and hob, a dishwasher, a microwave, a fridge/freezer and a coffee machine. Meanwhile, the six-seater dining table is perfect for savouring delicious meals or planning your next adventure. Homemade bread and artisan pizzas can also be made to order with plenty of notice and at an additional fee if you don't feel like cooking.
Next door, the light and spacious living room has been decorated with a cosy log cabin theme and comprises two large sofas and a Smart TV. There is also a flame-effect fireplace which is ideal for cooler nights.
Head upstairs to the first floor where you will find three beautiful bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room, a TV and luxurious soft furnishings. There is a zip and link super king bedroom, a king size bedroom and a twin bedroom.
Outside, you will have access to a south-facing terrace and garden with furniture and a charcoal BBQ. The far-reaching views of the Yorkshire Wolds are outstanding and make for a great backdrop when enjoying a delicious alfresco meal or a crisp glass of wine on a sunny evening.
