The property

Tucked away in the quaint, ancient village of Whixley lies this fabulous, two-bedroom holiday home, Duckstone Cottage.

Brimming with character and conveniently situated between Harrogate and York, this charming cottage boasts a wealth of tasteful interiors and on-site facilities, making it a perfect choice for families looking for a relaxing, self-catered stay in North Yorkshire.

Step into your new home-from-home to find a range of well-presented, vibrant living spaces, including a fully-equipped, well-appointed kitchen/diner, where delicious feasts can be whipped up to be savoured around the dining table for four, and a sitting room complete with well-preserved, characterful wooden beams that serve to reinforce that cottage-feel, along with a Smart TV, plush seating and a centrepiece multi-fuel woodburning stove.

Be sure to take a glass of your drink into the garden, where you can catch-up with your loved ones on the outdoor seating or even indulge in a long, rejuvenating dip in the two-seater hot tub, an idyllic spot to relax and unwind as day rolls into night.

When sleep calls, treat yourself to a restorative bath before retiring to one of two inviting king-size bedrooms that lie waiting to transport you to a night of tranquil bliss.

If you can tear yourself away from your peaceful lodgings, take time to explore your local area by grabbing some traditional pub fare at The Anchor at Whixley or take a brief drive to neighbouring Green Hammerton to dine at The Bay Horse Inn if you fancy taking a break from cooking one evening.

If you want to make a day of it, the cathedral city of York is accessible by car, where the sites of The York Dungeon, York Shambles and the York City walls await eager visitors.

For an unforgettable trip to North Yorkshire, book a stay at Duckstone Cottage.

About the location

WHIXLEY

Wetherby 9.3 miles; York 13.1 miles; Hawnby 30.2 miles.

The ancient village of Whixley rests between the town of Harrogate to the west and the city of York to the east. Centuries ago, the village was best known for its cherries, which were originally collected to be stored at the Priory of Knaresborough and were eventually sold in places as far as Covent Garden in London. Some houses still existing in the area - Cherry House, Cherry Cottage and Cherry Tree Farm – serve as a reminder of the village’s history. Attractions in the area include The Old Vicarage, The Church of the Ascension, and Whixley Park. Dining options include The Anchor at Whixley, as well as The Victoria Cattal, which is a brief drive outside the village. Within easy reach of the village, you will find the bustling cathedral city of York, where visitors can find the spooky spot of York Dungeon, the cobbled path of the Shambles, and the famous Betty's Café Tea Rooms
