Brush and Boot

About this property

York 12.6 miles. Brush and Boot rests in the quiet hamlet of High Stittenham, near York, offering a welcoming and well-appointed detached retreat that’s just right for couples or friends keen to explore North Yorkshire’s countryside and attractions. Within the Howardian Hills and with the North York Moors nearby, it’s a fine base for those who enjoy a good walk, a proper market town and a slice of history thrown in for good measure. Inside, the bright open-plan living space forms the heart of the home, a sociable spot to swap stories after a day out and about. The neatly equipped kitchen has everything needed for easy holiday catering, flowing into a dining area and a comfortable sitting space with a TV and Chromecast for relaxed evenings in.

Two thoughtfully arranged bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite walk-in shower, offering welcome privacy for guests travelling together. One en-suite bedroom is set on the ground floor, making it a practical choice for those who prefer single-level living. Outside, a private patio with a picnic bench provides a pleasant setting for a morning brew or a simple supper in the fresh air. There’s also a bike shed for anyone keen to explore the surrounding lanes and trails on two wheels. With off-road parking and pet-friendly accommodation, Brush and Boot is well suited to walkers, cyclists and four-legged companions alike. Positioned in the Howardian Hills between York and the North York Moors, this charming retreat makes an excellent base for discovering historic landmarks, scenic drives and characterful villages, a straightforward, comfortable choice for a refreshing North Yorkshire break.

The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums(including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family. Explore York’s quaint streets and hidden corners, or take an excursion further afield to the Dales, Moors or the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Yorkshire is rich in stately homes, with Harewood House and Castle Howard just two of several within an hour’s drive. A cycling city boasting two theatres, character pubs and great shopping, York has it all.
