Shire Cottage

About this property

Skipsea 1.4 miles. Nestled in Ulrome near the lovely village of Skipsea, East Riding of Yorkshire discover this pretty two-bedroom cottage, Shire Cottage. Benefitting from all ground-floor living, a private decking area and originally features and exposed beams, Shire Cottage welcomes four guests to relish the ultimate escape to the East Riding of Yorkshire. Upon entering your new home-from-home, sink back and relax on the homely sofas clicking on the TV to enjoy some light entertainment as your other half whips up a home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Settle down at the dining table, ready to tuck in as the conversation flows and wine is poured, toasting to a wonderful holiday as you plan for the days ahead. If you prefer to dine alfresco, step out onto the private decking area and bask in your surroundings a little while longer. If you’re seeking some much-need R&R, treat yourself to a long, indulgent soak in the tub or a revitalising shower, prior to escaping to either a double or twin bedroom to rest up. Begin your itinerary at Skipsea Castle before sampling some tasty grub and a cold tipple at the Board Inn; further along the coastline discover Barmston Beach and Sewerby Beach, two idyllic spots to relax upon the sandy trails, soak up the sun’s rays and paddle the shores, or head to Bridlington, home to The Bayle Museum, Bridlington Harbour and Bridlington Sea Front. Alternatively, spend the day touring the grand Georgian house at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, play a round or two at Bridlington Links Golf Course, visit New Flamborough Lighthouse or make the most of an impressive array of walking trails that can be found from your doorstep. Within accessible reach of the popular seaside towns of Filey, Scarborough and Whitby, as well as the North York Moors National Park with much to offer, there is plenty to fill your days here. Escape to Yorkshire, with a memorable getaway to Shire Cottage.

Situated 10 miles south of Bridlington and 6 miles north of Hornsea, the vlllage of Skipsea sits in a typically rural setting surrounded by rich, agricultural land, yet also rests within one mile of the beach and is close to the cliffs of the North Sea. The village has its own Post Office and general store, a hairdresser’s and a pub. Many of the houses in the village, both old and new, use cobbles from the sea shore in the building. Just outside the village are the remains of Skipsea Castle. The surrounding countryside is excellent for walking and cycling, whilst the nearby seaside towns of Bridlington and Filey boast long sandy beaches and numerous resort attractions. The Deep Submarium at Hull, Sledmere House and Burton Constable Hall are within 20 miles, whilst the shops, cathedral and museum of historic York, the resort town of Scarborough and the North Yorks Moors Steam Railway at Pickering are within an hour’s drive, and Whitby is just a little further, making Skipsea a superb base for a relaxing holiday.
