Property code: 78497

Share a slice of happiness with your special one at this enchanting 15th-century, Grade II-listed gatehouse located in the idyllic village of Bolton Percy. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it’s an ideal accommodation choice for couples dreaming of a truly unique place to call home during a romantic break in North Yorkshire together. During the day, lose yourself in the charm of The Shambles - a picturesque street lined with timber-framed buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. In the evening, come home to your quirky cottage’s garden and enjoy a tranquil al fresco dinner on the wonderful deck.

Enter through the striking wooden doors into the bright and welcoming kitchen and you'll get your first glimpse of the beautiful, vaulted ceiling that's featured throughout this period home. Head up to the first floor and you'll find an impressive, beamed layout in the open-plan lounge/diner/sleeping area. Slip into a sofa and take a moment to make yourself at home in the lounge before heading back downstairs to the well-appointed kitchen to whip up a romantic meal for two. Enjoy an intimate dinner at the rustic dining table in front of the feature window, or head out onto the deck to dine alfresco. After dinner, spend a little time snuggling in front of the TV before retiring to the colourful, four-poster super-king-size bed in the sleeping area. Downstairs, a convenient shower room completes the layout.

History buffs will love wandering through the Yorkshire Museum (10 miles), which houses archaeological treasures, Roman artifacts and exhibits on natural history. Alternatively, delve into the wonder of York Minster (10 miles) – one of England’s most beautiful Gothic cathedrals. Admire its intricate stained glass windows and climb up the tower to see the entire city of York beneath you.

This is a lovely cottage and it felt very special to stay in such a historic building. The combination of the modern bathroom and well equipped kitchen downstairs and the beautiful upstairs space made for a very comfortable and memorable stay. This is a great location with plenty of places to visit within a relatively short drive.

We completely loved our stay at the Gatehouse.

Beautiful cottage, in ideal setting. The church is extremely interesting, and the local tearoom is well worth a visit. The Gate House exceeded our expectations.. The kitchen is well equipped with a very quirky kettle and toaster. Wonderful stay. We would highly recommend a visit.

The location is beautiful, quiet and restful yet is only a relatively short drive from main access roads. The property itself is unique and exudes a real sense of history; furniture perfectly compliments the building; comfort and cleanliness are second to none and equipment is of the highest quality.

The gatehouse is even more beautiful than the photos suggest. Everything inside is maintained to a high standard and is spotlessly clean. The bed is really comfortable, and even though I was there during the June heatwave, the cottage was remarkably cool.

My advice to anyone considering renting this cottage is, if the dates you want are available book it, before someone else does. Hide
