Bring the family – or just your other half – for an outward-bound break in this quaintest of cottages in a lovely Yorkshire village. Up to two dogs are welcome, too, so the whole gang can make memories together in this charming accommodation. Beautifully refurbished, it seamlessly blends smart, neutral decor with all mod cons while retaining its historic cottage vibe. Variety rules here: countryside walking and cycling are all on the cards, practically from the front door; while Hornsea is on the coast and just 16 miles. There’s even a pub across the street!
This red-brick cottage simply oozes charm and character. Dating from the 1830s, it’s been wonderfully appointed to make a modern home from home, while retaining rustic touches like latch doors and flagstone flooring. The contemporary kitchen has all you need to self-cater, including a bar table and chairs for eating. The lounge is a cosy space to switch off by the wood burner. There’s a practical boot room to store outdoor gear as well as bikes for those keen on exploring on two wheels. To the rear, and up three steps, is a bijou garden with furniture and mature shrubbery for BBQs or early morning cuppas.
From the attractive village of Cherry Burton, the market town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire is 4 miles. It offers a mix of culture and heritage with its medieval Minster, cobbled streets, independent shopping and historic buildings. Indulge in its varied food scene or have a flutter at the Racecourse, which also hosts other events during the summer. Keen walkers can join the 80-mile Yorkshire Wold Way from Market Weighton (8 miles from the cottage). Or leave the country and head to the coast, with traditional seaside fun and sandy swathes on offer 15.5 miles away at Hornsea.
