Classic English 17th century cottage in rural North Yorkshire. Warm and cosy with fireplaces, high quality beds, lovely view of village life out of window. We have a beautiful rolltop bath for guests and plenty of hot water but please be advised no shower yet ***PLEASE BE ADVISED THERE ARE OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE AREA CALLED 'ORCHARD COTTAGE' SO IF USING SAT-NAV PLEASE SEARCH POSTCODE 'HG4 3BS' TO AVOID MISDIRECTION***
Hello I'm your hostess Claudia. I like walks with my dog Pepper, swimming at the local spa, yoga and Pilates, and healthy living. I grew up in nearby Leyburn, lived in London for many years but moved back north in 2018. So much to see and do in North Yorkshire or plenty of opportunities to relax
Local attractions include idyllic English villages, the moors, Hackfall Ridge, Himalayan Gardens, Fountains Abbey, Ripon + Cathedral, Swinton Spa, Grewelthorpe Observatory, Masham Brewery
