Apple Tree Cottage

A welcoming, well-equipped, recently restored cottage, set at the edge of a quiet hamlet, but conveniently close to (but not within hearing of!

) a major road. Thoughtful provision of essentials and treats by the friendly owner. Thorough, useful information in a booklet so no searching necessary.

A lovely cottage in a very rural area and yet easy access to main roads to Pickering, Malton and York.

All within 25 minutes drive. Would definitely recommend this cottage - particularly to walkers who like the countryside. Very peaceful and quiet. The cottage itself was spotless and the owners very friendly. ( thanks for a lovely week Clare and Steve )

Perfect location and could not say anything negative about the property or how it could be improved.

Wonderful facilities which had everything and more! Furnishings and facilities really were outstanding. Peaceful and quiet just what we were looking for. Although we didn’t get to meet the owners Claire and Steve as they were away themselves, they were contactable and made sure that we knew how to contact them at anytime. Lovely welcome gift of Apple Juice made from the apple trees at Apple Tree Cottage. A perfect getaway. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful accommodation, beautiful location and great hosts.

We were here for two weeks and loved staying at Apple Tree Cottage and explore the county. From York to Whitby and everything in between. At the cottage Clare made us feel very welcome and handled every question we had instantly and provided us with fans to cool us from the summer heat.

We have stayed in many Sykes cottages and could not fault this one at all.

It is in a great location for all of North and East Yorkshire. We had a fabulous week. Pretty much all attractions are within an hours drive. Set in a lovely location with everything you need. The lovely owner Clare will happily interact or leave you in complete peace if you choose. We would happily recommend Apple Tree Cottage to anyone.

Apple Tree Cottage was a much-needed retreat for us, a peaceful haven surrounded by beautiful countryside, with apple trees and honeysuckle and a glorious chorus of birdsong in the garden.

It far exceeded our expectations. The cottage was spotlessly clean and stylish, with every comfort provided, from fluffy pillows to the fully-fitted kitchen. Our host Clare was very welcoming without ever intruding on our privacy, offering help if we needed it with bike routes and kit, and treating us to some delicious apple juice from the cottage’s own trees! A proper hideaway, It was just so easy to relax. We only stayed a short time, but there was so much to see and do locally too, Kirkham Priory, Castle Howard and Yorkshire’s ‘food capital’ of Malton just a short drive (or even bike ride) away. We will definitely be back.

The cottage was beautifully situated in a quiet village but only 5 miles away from the nearest town Malton.

The cottage and gardens were well maintained and very clean. We had 2 of our grandchildren 3 and 6 years old with us and they loved playing outside in the garden. The hosts Clare and Steve lived on site and were very hospitable . I would recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway .

We had the most comfortable and relaxing stay in this tranquil location.

The accommodation was spotless and had everything needed for a perfect stay. The host was very welcoming and was available for any questions or queries. It was a perfect break with plenty to do within a 20 minute drive.

What a lovely cottage.

One of the best we have ever stayed in. Quiet location, modern and very clean. We will definitely return at some point.

The communication from the owner was excellent from the point of booking through to the end of our stay.

Helpful without being intrusive. The property was very well located for a restful and peaceful break but with the ability to still easily visit Stockeld Park, Eden Camp and York. It was lovely to arrive to homemade apple juice, milk, cake and brew making facilities. The property had everything we needed and more to make it a home from home. It is spotless and small touches like board games for the children and a coat rack made all the difference to a relaxing break. It was also great value for money, even in the school holidays. Thanks for a great break. We hope to come back some time and would definitely recommend you to friends and family.

A wonderful cottage, very well equipped and a perfect location for visiting the Howardian Hills, York and the coast.

A pleasure to meet the owner Clare who was very friendly and attentive. We have friends who live close by so we would definitely consider staying at Apple Tree again in the future

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Apple Tree Cottage.

The cottage was clean and comfortable and everything had been thought of. The hosts were really welcoming and helpful. Location was great, right in the country side but easy to get about.

Stunning cottage with everything you could possibly need.

Owners are lovely, can't fault it. Location is great for exploring. We will definitely be returning.

A Perfect, Peaceful Retreat with Exceptional Hosts We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay at Apple Tree Cottage.

The property is impeccably kept and incredibly peaceful. What truly sets it apart are the hosts, Clare and Steve. Their genuine care for the cottage and their guests was evident in everything, from the generous welcome box to their thoughtful hospitality. They were fantastic. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed a lovely weekend at apple tree cottage.

A beautiful quiet setting, which is just what we like. The cottage was spotless and fully equipped with everything you need and more. The constant warmth from the underfloor heating was an added bonus. The lovely welcome pack, especially the delicious bottle of apple juice, made from the apple trees around the cottage. All the extra care to the tiniest last detail to make our stay even more relaxing and special were second to none. Exceptional area for sightseeing too. We spent a couple of hours at kirkham priory, just two minutes drive away. Amazingly good places were suggested for eating out, which we tried also. We would definitely recommend the Jolly Farmer for Sunday lunch. Amazing food in a lovely local Inn, and such friendly staff.

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings ideal for exploring the area.

A well thought out comfortable place for your stay.

Apple Tree Cottage is lovely, comfortable and well equipped to a very high standard.

In a very peaceful setting. Ideally situated for trips into York, the Moors and coast.

Excellent, comfortable, well equipped property.

Beautiful and quiet location, owners very accommodating, responsive and helpful.

Perfect getaway if you want peace and quiet, gorgeous well equipped cottage, gorgeous surroundings….

We used as a base and drove out everyday to different places but would’ve been equally happy to stay in if the weather wasn't permitting. Thoroughly recommend Apple Tree Cottage

a lovely cottage.

has everything you need. Beds comfortable, very clean, bathrooms and towels were great. Kitchen area has everything you need. Tea/coffee and cake was a very welcome welcome gift when we arrived. Definitely would consider coming back to Apple Tree Cottage. Close to York, Castle Howard and North York steam railway. Need to drive to local pub etc if you plan on eating out.

Extremely comfortable and welcoming cottage with pristine decorations and pleasant outlook.

A very quiet area but with attractions only a short drive away
