Ref: 1876 April Cottage 
SKERNE NEAR BEVERLEY Driffield 1.5 miles; Beverley 10 miles; Bridlington 15 miles. The quiet, back-water village of Skerne rests amidst deep rural countryside, on the borders of the Yorkshire Wolds, close to the bustling market town of Driffield. Known as the 'Capital of The Yorkshire Wolds', nearby Driffield provides a variety of family-run shops, tearooms, public houses, and a twice-weekly market, as well as two supermarkets. The town's showground hosts an annual Agricultural Show and the historic Steam and Vintage Rally, to name but a few attractions. There are pleasant walks to local beauty spots, such as the canal banks at River Head, or out of town to Bell Mills or Kings Mill. Stately homes such as Burton Agnes Hall and Sledmere House are nearby, whilst Cruckley Animal Farm and the soaring Bempton Cliffs, with its puffin and gannet colonies are well worth a visit. Alternatively, visit the thriving market town of Beverley, the historic City of York or the seaport of Kingston upon Hull. Yorkshire's east coast, with its wide, sandy beaches, offers quaint seaside towns such as Hornsea, Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby. A great location at any time of year.

Aug 2007 | The cottage was very comfortabe and the village it was in was perfect. Really handy for York, Scarborough, Whibty and Bridlington - There was also good regular train and bus links from Driffield.
Mrs Semple, Lanark, South Lanarkshire
Jul 2007 | This Cottage is fabulous, much more than a holiday home, it is a genuine "home from home". It is well presented with all the facilities you could require. It is warm, cosy and ideal to return to after a long, tiring day...you just have to relax there. In its location it was the perfect base for our purpose (house & job hunting) and would have been our first choice to buy had it been for sale in our price range. The owner made us extremely welcome on our arrival with the coal fire laid ready to light and a pint of milk in the fridge. We were treated more like friends than customers, which was very much appreciated.
