“The nicest holiday cottage I have ever stayed in.”

There was great attention to detail and everything was immaculate and very comfortable. The (not so) little extras were a lovely surprise - ie a welcome hamper with fruit, cake, bread, butter. Everything was of the best quality, nothing skimped. We also enjoyed a lovely garden and a very quiet environment. The cottage was ideally placed for many, many attractions, which were accessible by good roads. We were in the middle of lovely countryside, and though there were no shops, this was not a ...

The cottage was ideally placed for many, many attractions, which were accessible by good roads. We were in the middle of lovely countryside, and though there were no shops, this was not a problem, as there is a thriving and pretty market town nearby. Altogether a very good place to stay.

“An exceptional holiday cottage in a pretty village.”

Easy access to points of interest. Well deserving of its 5 stars. Not to be missed!

“We found both the cottage and the garden lovely.”

All in perfect order, clean and cosy. David and Sue also left us lots of things like bread and coffee etc. I would certainly recomend this cottage.

“We stayed at Knayton house cottage with a 2 year old and six month old in June and we didn't want to leave.”

The photos do not do it justice! Sue and David were so welcoming and provided the most beautiful welcome hamper of delicious fruit, bread, scones ad home made jam! We often holiday in cottages due to the children and this was by far the best we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything, it was like a home from home. Beautifully furnished through out and spotlessly clean. We will definitely return and have already recommended to friend and family. The village pub is very welcoming with very good food and beer, you must book though they are popular!

The property

A charming stone-built, semi-detached cottage, nestling in a quiet position in the peaceful village of Knayton, just 5 miles from Thirsk.

Awarded a 5-star Gold Award by the Tourist Board, this spacious cottage was once part of a larger Georgian house.

This cottage seamlessly combines many original features with a high standard of furnishings to provide very comfortable accommodation, boasting a lovely country kitchen with beautiful limestone flag flooring, a roll-top bath in the bathroom and a large sitting room with exposed beams and woodburning stove.

Just a few yards from the old village green and the local village pub, the area is ideal for those wishing to get away from it all, whilst the nearby town of Thirsk with its range of amenities is just a short drive away.

An ideal touring base for those wishing to explore the coastal resorts of Whitby and Scarborough, the Yorkshire Dales, the North York Moors and the magnificent old city of York, this great retreat offers guests a great holiday home in which to relax at any time of year!

About the location

KNAYTON

Thirsk 5 miles.

The peaceful village of Knayton sits on a small hillside on the edge of the Vale of York, quietly nestling between the Hambleton Hills to the east and the Yorkshire Dales to the west. Built around the village green, this lovely village boasts an excellent local pub and good walking and cycling opportunities in the surrounding countryside. Just 7 miles away is the market town of Northallerton, offering excellent shops and a weekly market, whilst Thirsk is just 5 miles to the south, boasting a famous racecourse as well as a cobbled market square and quaint little alleyways awash with cosy teashops and lovely little delicatessens. With the historic cathedral cities of York and Ripon also within easy reach, this great area has something for everyone.
