An open-plan living space and trio of flexible bedrooms are complemented by a patio garden complete with a hot tub at this lovely retreat. Pet friendly, it's in the countryside between York and Thirsk, with walks from the doorstep and Easingwold just 4.5 miles away.

One of a small collection of holiday homes in a lovely Vale of York village, this terraced retreat combines period charm with contemporary comfort. A spacious hallway welcomes you in; beyond, the living space has exposed beams and high ceilings, while floor-to-ceiling windows allow in plenty of natural light. Closest to that wall of glass, the lounge has soft seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner. Behind, a dining suite is easily accessed from the sleek kitchen, while a cloakroom and utility room ensure you have all the essentials of home. Upstairs, three fabulous bedrooms each boast USB power sockets and a Smart TV. Choose between a super-king-size zip-and-link bed, which can be made up as singles on request, a super-king-size bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, and a snug double room. A family bathroom completes the first-floor layout. Your living space extends into the patio garden, accessed effortlessly from the lounge. Fully enclosed and with feature planting, it has al fresco dining furniture and - for the ultimate in laid-back luxury - a hot tub.

Allocated parking for a couple of cars means you can explore Tollerton at your leisure - the village has a welcoming pub and convenience store. For more self-catering essentials and a fine selection of inns, cafes, and tearooms, visit Easingwold (4.5 miles). Further afield, York (11 miles) is famous for its magnificent Minster and cobbled lanes, while 14 miles in the opposite direction, Thirsk has a quaint marketplace, splendid Georgian buildings, a cinema and a leisure centre. Drive 16 miles into the Howardian Hills and Castle Howard - one of the area's most stunning stately homes - has acres of grounds to explore plus a high-energy adventure playground. If you'd like to holiday with a larger party, other properties are available to sleep a further 12 guests - please ask for details.

Our stay at Roosters retreat was absolutely superb. the house was beautifully presented and equipped with everything you could possibly need, including modern appliances and stylish furnishings that made for a very comfortable stay. The owners and their staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and supportive throughout our visit, they were alwayRead mores happy to help and provided excellent recommendations for local places to eat, every restaurant they suggested served first class food in lovely locations which made our stay even more enjoyable, Bluebell at Alne and Punchbowl at Marten cum Grafton both superb and worth a visit We couldnt have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Roosters retreat or any of the other properties at Maltkin barn to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable getaway, it is definitely a place we would love to return to.

We had a fabulous short stay at Rooster Retreat. Made very welcome on arrival and had help packing the car on departure which was appreciated. The property is really comfortable and spacious. We all enjoyed the hot tub. It is a very peaceful place to stay, the neighbouring property was occupied but we didn't feel overlooked and the soundproofRead moreing between the properties is good as we couldn't hear anything when we were inside. The welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Hide

Lovely accommodation, spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect location for exploring areas and bus stop just at the end of the driveway that went straight into York Centre. Hot tub and garden were well kept. We had a lovely week thank you!

Roosters Retreat is lovely - newly renovated and very smart. The courtyard garden is snug, with good-quality chairs. The hot tub is great! We enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the swallows fly around catching insects. The cottage was lovely and very comfortable - great beds and couches. Unfortunately, in the kitchen several plates anRead mored bowls had been put away dirty. One bowl was absolutely filthy, with dried-on food stuck all over it. Two oven trays were also dirty - oily to touch and with encrusted food burned on. The other oven tray was peeling, so we couldnt use that. The two frying pans were badly scratched and not safe to use. The kitchen was lovely, but these oversights were disappointing, in a holiday cottage that is supposed to be luxury. However, the cottage manager was really helpful throughout: she responded quickly to my emails before our stay asking for restaurant recommendations, which I really appreciated, and she dealt well with my email re the kitchen during our stay. There is loads to do from the cottage - local walks from the doorstep, Beningbrough Hall is only a few miles away, there are river walks. It's a lovely area with lots to explore! Hide

The cottage was absolutely faultless, it was immaculate and smelt amazing. The people we met were all so lovely and made us feel very welcome. The sofa was so comfortable as were the beds, the TVs were huge, the hot tub was the best (and cleanest) weve ever been in and the appliances were all Miele and a dream to use! We cannot wait to return! WillRead more be rebooking very soon! Hide
