Our featured York holiday cottages include this property in the bustling market town of Pocklington, one of Yorkshire's best kept secrets. Refreshingly unspoilt by pressures of tourism, the town lies in the Vale of York at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, whose hills rise immediately behind it and roll east to the sea. This is great walking country. Here also are some fine examples of the nation’s built heritage including the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy and Castle Howard, one of the grandest stately homes in Britain and the location for Brideshead Revisited. The flat countryside of the Vale of York, with nearby York at its heart is ideal for cycling. On winding lanes through a patchwork of lush, fertile greenery you will discover quiet, attractive villages and friendly market towns.
Set in a peaceful cul de sac within 500 yards of the centre of Pocklington, yet with direct footpath access to the local countryside and canal, this quaint cottage boasts smart contemporary interior design and furnishings. Just 12 miles away lies the medieval city of York with its many museums and great shopping, whilst Bridlington’s sandy bays are only 20 miles, and interesting shopping, restaurants and pubs are found in Pocklington itself, a classic English market town on the fringes of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds. Burnby Water Lily Gardens are 0.5 miles and Castle Howard, Sledmere House, Flamingo Land and Eden Camp are all within easy reach. Gliding, fishing and golf 1 mile. Pub and shop 200 yards.
