Well-furnished to provide comfortable accommodation, this cottage ideal for a small group of friends or family wanting to experience the sublime Yorkshire countryside.

The sitting room lies beyond with a steam effect wood burning stove and a smart TV. There is also a W/C on the ground floor, just off the hall. The first floor of the cottage offers two double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king-size bed with a modern en-suite bathroom.

To the front of the cottage is a private parking area and to the rear is a delightful patio area within a private garden, where you can sit back with a refreshing drink after a day exploring.
The pretty village of Kirklington has a charming pub, The Black Horse, which is only 100m around the corner from the cottage and has excellent local ales and home cooked food.

No welcome pack but a much better complimentary drink at the local pub. The Black Horse does wonderful food and is literally a stones throw from the cottage. Would fully recommend this cottage

A bonus being a pub across the road, which serves excellent food.
