This is a fantastic place for a walking holiday, with the Wolds Way not far from the cottage which is a 79-mile walk that leaves Hessle and finishes in Filey. The walk takes you through the stunning Yorkshire countryside calling at quaint villages for refreshments. Cyclists too will find many interesting and enjoyable routes. The Wolds is also famous for the David Hockney paintings and where he found inspiration for most of his work. The coast is only a 20-minute drive away, within 11 to 13 miles of the east coast resorts of Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough. Visit the traditional seaside resort of Bridlington with its working harbour and local attractions such as the Spa Theatre and Sewerby Hall and Gardens, or further north is Flamborough Head, Filey and Scarborough, all great family resorts. The rspb bird sanctuary at Bempton is just a short drive away where you’ll find puffins in their natural habitat. If you fancy some shopping, the cathedral city of York is less than a 1-hour drive away. As well as shops, there are several museums, and of course the Minster which is the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. For those who prefer countryside pursuits, try some trout fishing at Driffield or further along the road there is a Cottondale shooting ground. Beach 11 miles.

Leeann Englestown
Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage Willow Tree.We are 3 ladies and all of us really enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed, all very comfortable beds, very nicely decorated, not far from Scarborough and Bridlington.There was a wooden shed in the grounds in front of the cottage that sold milk, eggs, logs, kindle, water and a few sweet treats we thought that was really cute.The village itself there's is nothing there ie no shops or pub, however we knew that when booking and it didn't make any difference to our stay. We will definitely be booking again!! I did find it a coincidence that the owners names are the same as me and my husbands all though spelt different Leeann and Jarrad (ours) Leanne and Jarrod (Theirs)Thank you again x

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this lovely 3-bedroom cottage in Foxhole. The cottage was warm, welcoming, and truly homely, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. It was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the space was perfect for our group. The location was peaceful and ideal for a quiet getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again. Highly recommended!
