Cow Byre Cottage

About this property

A delightful, stone-built Grade II listed conversion of an old cow byre, in the centre of the village of Wrelton, 3 miles from Pickering. This charming property exudes character, with exposed timbers, wooden floors and a first floor living room leading up to a pretty galleried bedroom. Cow Byre Cottage is furnished and decorated to an exceptionally high standard, with a french country feel about it. There is excellent walking from the doorstep through the beautiful surrounding countryside, while other attractions such as the historic city of York, the market town of Helmsley, the steam railway in Pickering and all the trappings of the east coast resorts are within easy reach. A great base for a holiday. Note: This property is next to Ref.1844 and booked together they can accommodate 7 people.

The village of Wrelton boasts a fascinating past. After the last Ice Age, when this entire area was submerged by floodwater, and the village was a simple settlement clinging to the edge of the lake of Pickering. Much later, during the Roman Occupation, Wrelton occupied a key position on the route between Malton and Wade's Causeway on Stape Moor, and during the Georgian era, coaches would have stopped here on their way to Scarborough and Whitby. Today, it is a delightful mish-mash of stone cottages, modern houses and dry-stone walls. Although there are no shops in Wrelton, the village is served by the Buck Inn, which is famous for its good food and a fine selection of real ales. Nearby attractions include the market town of Malton, Pickering Castle, Castle Howard and the historic City of York, which has attractions for visitors of all ages.
