“Lovely cosy cottage”

Beautiful cosy cottage, exceptionally clean. Great location for exploring. Very homely, local shop nearby, full WiFi and Netflix.

The cottage is in keeping with the age of the property, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and the sitting room very cozy. The cottage was spotless and Alison the owner went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. The galley kitchen is a challenge as it is so narrow but this is not meant as a criticism. There are only one or two minor details that we feel could improve your stay at the Old cottage. the shower is over a roll-top bath and although there is a round curtain, when closed fully it sticks to you and makes showering difficult, when you don't close the curtain fully water escapes down the side of the bath leaving the bathroom and kitchen floor wet through. The only other thing was the garden needs a little TLC. We had a really enjoyable week at the Old cottage and would recommend.

There were 4 of us staying here and it wasn't cramped. Perfect location for visiting lots of different places.

When flushing the toilet it would either flush first time or took 3-4 times before it would flush which became annoying. Also the taps were hard to turn on and off for the sink and the bath come shower, when we did manage to turn them off they would drip continually. Everything else was perfect but these two things did spoil the holiday and would make us think twice about rebooking the cottage.

Mr Quenault, May 2019
“Owners were in contact to make sure we were ok, lots of information provided to help us make the most of our holiday.”

Booking was easy and good value for money!

The house and garden are very charming , not too much modernised as many holiday cottages are, it could keep it's soul! We would love to come back and have that holiday feeling again, after days out in beautiful Yorkshire. We had a very friendly and helpful contact to the owner!

Mr Hackett, March 2019
“It was an extremely cosy cottage in a lovely village and in a good spot for visiting many other lovely towns and villages.”

The owner was very helpful and caring without being intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Sykes were brilliant at speedily creating the booking for me, contacting the owners and ensuring I had all the info I needed before I set off. The cottage itself is charming. Unfortunately I was not on holiday but at work in the area for 3 days, it was a perfect home from home. Very comfortable and homely with everything you need for a short stay. I particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove, Netflix availability and the convenience of a shop right next door. Highly recommended.

We have just got home from here and we found it to be just right for the 2 of us and a dog .. you may find 4 people is a little too cosy. Clean and tidy with a nice little garden for the dog. Stacks of parking space in the road and right next door to a little Londis so you will never run out of anything. Easy driving to York city and the coast. The roads are never busy ! Fish & Chip shop 1 minute away and The Blue Bell Inn less than 5, and that's at a slow pace. Out of the house left down to the water and ducks turn right up the slope with the big church on your right ... the pub is there. Great selection of Gins and decent beer. There are other pubs but this is by far the best. Very quiet little village. The WiFi in the cottage is super fast and a little welcome tray of goodies awaits. Light the fire sit back and enjoy. We did.

The cottage was cosy and perfect for a weekend away with our 4 legged friends. Alison was lovely and really couldn't do enough for us during our stay, and the welcome pack even had treats for the doggys. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will be returning soon!!

The owner, Alison, was very helpful with instructions on gaining entry to the cottage before our arrival and also during our stay when water started pouring out of the washing machine during use! My husband alerted her and it was fixed that morning. The tray of welcome goodies was also a nice surprise upon our arrival. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and well furnished. The wifi is good and it was great to be able to access Netflix, BBC iplayer, etc on the tv. It is a bit of a trek if you need the loo in the night but to be expected in an old cottage like this. Nafferton itself is a lovely village. The shop next door was extremely handy. There are three pubs currently open. The Blue Bell Inn is very welcoming and cosy, they weren't serving food during our stay but well worth visiting just for the extensive gin list! The food at The Cross Keys is very good and the staff very accommodating and friendly. Dogs are welcome in the bar areas. We didn't get to try The Star. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and would definitely recommend The Old Cottage.

Mrs Cooper, October 2018
“Wow! From the moment we booked everything was great - from the most helpful guide which was emailed to us after booking, to the friendly contacts from our hosts to check if we needed everything, to the little touches in the cottage itself, this was one to remember.”

The cottage itself was cosy and comfortable, the area was beautiful, we’ll definitely be going back.

It is a lovely comfortable and homely cottage. Fully equipped with thoughtful extras and very tastefully decorated. The shop next door is most useful, and the rail links direct to the village were great. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would visit again.

Lovely weather matched by lovely accommodation. A cosy cottage with a wood burning stove for a quiet night in. Super fast WiFi and Netflix added to the enjoyment. Having a convenience store (Londis) right next door made things super easy. Would love to stay again.

The property

The Old Cottage, a Grade II listed terrace dating back to the mid-1700s, sits comfortably in the friendly Yorkshire village of Nafferton.

Exuding great character and resting perfectly for exploring the superb countryside and coastline nearby, use this as the welcoming return for an adventure-filled break in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Step straight into a charming little dining room, dotted with delightful period features, this is an ideal spot to kick your muddy boots off after a countryside stroll and unwind with a warm brew.

Step through into the compact, galley-style kitchen which is excellently appointed with an attractive Belfast sink and rustic touches.

Spend the evenings in the heart-warming sitting room, a thoughtfully decorated setup with a beautiful fireplace housing a period woodburner and a Smart TV which outlines the fabulous contrast of modernity and tradition throughout this superb Yorkshire getaway.

Also on the ground floor is an exquisite, period bathroom, it displays a classy, freestanding porcelain bath with a shower over.

At the end of each day, clamber the stairs to the first floor, the landing area doubles as a cosy little snug with a day bed making a peaceful spot to sit with a book, or alternatively host two extra guests with the optional trundle bed available.

From here, enter the immaculate master bedrooms which exude peace and comfort.

During the summer, step out onto the rear garden, this fabulously maintained area with furniture and a BBQ for that alfresco feast under the sun.

A convenient shop sits adjacent to The Old Cottage, while Nafferton also offers a couple of wonderful little places to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat.

Just a couple of minutes away is the splendid market town of Driffield which offers a range of fine amenities and a golf club.

Also within reach is the beautiful East Yorkshire coastline, with the popular resort of Bridlington less than 10 miles away.

The magnificent city of York is also within reach by car and is more than worth a day of exploration.

Get away to The Old Cottage for a break never to forget.

About the location

NAFFERTON

Driffield 2 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; York 29 miles.

The village of Nafferton is conveniently situated in the pretty countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, yet only 2 miles from the market town of Driffield and 9 miles from the seaside resort of Bridlington. A large village, with mainly traditional dwellings that cluster around the mere and village greens, it is served by three country pubs, a village shop, a post office and a fish and chip shop. The railway station there is only 2 minutes walk away and extremely useful; only one stop to Bridlington and four to Scarborough! This is a lovely area for gentle walking, exploring the countryside and visiting stately homes and gardens such as Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall. A short ride takes you to the popular east coast seaside resorts with their long sandy beaches, whilst the historical City of York, with its famous minster, is well worth a visit.
