Our featured York holiday cottages include this neat 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.
The quaint market town of Pocklington on the fringes of the Yorkshire Wolds is the setting for this attractive and very comfortable cottage.
