Welcome to this lovingly converted former barn, an inviting retreat that serves as the perfect base for two couples or a family to explore the picturesque Yorkshire countryside. Inside, warm your feet on the crackling wood burner in the light and airy open-plan living space, and outside, make the most of warm sunny days in the orchard or on the patio area.

Inside, the inviting lounge features two cosy sofas, a wood burner, a TV, and a DVD player, subtly separated by stylish room dividers from the chic kitchen/diner. With white units and solid wooden worktops, the kitchen is equipped with all the essentials for culinary creativity. There’s a separate utility area for larger white goods, which also provides storage space for coats and boots. The property's two bedrooms offer sumptuous super king-size beds and are finished in calming neutral decor with carefully selected antique-style furniture, both boasting en-suite facilities. Outside, a charming apple orchard awaits, complete with a spacious lawn, swing, and seesaw for the little ones to enjoy. A paved area nestled among the trees offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining.

Located in a serene rural setting beside the River Ouse, the property offers easy access to approximately 100 acres of park and farmland, ideal for leisurely strolls amidst nature's beauty. After a rejuvenating walk, indulge in hearty lunches crafted from the finest Yorkshire produce at one of the many local pubs nearby. Beyond the rolling fields, discover the quaint market town of Howden, 4.5 miles away, where ancient streets, charming independent shops, and tempting cafes await. For a taste of history and culture, venture to the market town of Beverley, situated 22 miles away, with its cobblestone squares and excellent shopping opportunities.

Our second Christmas at Appletree cottages and it was perfect! Spacious and quiet and well equipped. Lovely walks by the river and we enjoyed the Tractor Run in Howden. We hope to return.

The cottage is set in a lovely orchard setting. It is quite spacious as holiday rents go and the area ideal for walks as it is very flat countryside. The Trans Pennine Trail goes past the cottage alongside the river. It does have a 2 mile drive on single track roads to reach civilisation but that becomes part of the charm. We thoroughly enjoyed ourRead more stay with our two Cockapoos and would recommend the West Park in Goole for relaxed dog walking, on or off lead. Hide

A superb cottage. Decor, comfort, fabulous bed, Helpful and friendly owner. Beautiful situation with parkland all around. The log fire was a boon during a bitterly cold and snowy spell while we were in Orchard Cottage. All was beautiful!
