On the banks of the River Ouse, this bolthole cottage for two encourages walking and bike riding excursions amongst the splendid scenery of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Backed by the Yorkshire Wolds and just a driving distance from York (25 miles) and Hull (31 miles), you’ve got a variety of local appeals to choose from when planning daily activities throughout your stay. The cottage itself is well-presented with everything you might need for a comfortable retreat, complete with a pretty garden for wildlife spotting or gazing up at starry night skies with a morning coffee or late-night drink. This dynamic property is all laid out on one level, complete with an open-plan living space that gently flows into the super-king-size bedroom. The bedroom offers a zip-and-link bed to add versatility and ensure guests always have a comfortable place to sleep. The lounge/kitchen/diner is spacious and well-equipped, complete with ample comfy seating and a wood burner to keep things cosy and warm. You can choose to dine in here or outside in the pretty garden. With a lawn, a decked patio with plenty of furniture and a BBQ, this outdoor destination is a highlight in the summer months. Back indoors, the property is completed by a spacious and well-appointed bathroom. A scenic walk along the river leads to Howden (4.5 miles), an old market town with cobbled streets, Georgian architecture and a fine Minster. Local pubs, small boutiques and cosy cafes add to the charm of this pleasant locale. For rural exploration, visit the Yorkshire Wolds, a sweeping section of the East Yorkshire countryside with flowing hills and verdant fields. The towns of Beverley (21.5 miles), Pocklington (21.5 miles) and Market Weighton (16.5 miles) are all pretty destinations within this area, each one worth a visit with incredible walking routes around them.
