  • "Yon Cottage was a lovely, cosy, comfortable stay."

    The owners are very friendly. The cottage was exceptionally clean and tidy throughout. It was such a relief to have easy car parking which really helped! We appreciated that the owners had places small lights on the stairs so we could see where we were stepping during the night- what a great idea. We would come back for another stay

    Thank you to owners Gerry and Ali for a warm welcome, the lovely cake and milk in the fridge. The only downside was the busy road outside. We would definitely recommend a stay at Yon Cottage.

  • "Really Beautiful and Extremely Well presented Cottage I can’t say enough positive things about this cottage."

    The host Alison and Gerry were there to greet us upon arrival and are super nice and friendly. The cottage is just so well kept and you can see they pay so much attention to detail. The cottage was spotless upon arrival and a very thoughtful cake and milk was there to be enjoyed. They even left dishwasher tablets and clothes washing tablets. This came in so handy as we had just completed a 10 day cruise prior to our arrival and we so needed to wash our laundry. If I had to make any suggestions I would say an extra set of towels and a clothesline. Overall this is a really beautiful and perfect cottage for a couple to enjoy Thank You Ali and Gerry for letting us enjoy your perfect cottage Date of experience: 23 September 2023

  • "A stunning little cottage and a very warm reception from the owner who was extremely helpful."

    The place looked like it had just been built and greatly exceeded our expectations, while the view from upstairs was pretty special too. We tend not to re-visit places but this may prove the exception.

  • "The property was great."

    We really enjoyed our stay. The owners were friendly, and even provided cake and milk. The cottage was accurate to the listing. I only marked it down slightly as there were only 2 saucepans. It would have been good to have information in "the folder" about restaurants in the area. (Yes, we could have asked the owners, but didn't want to bother them.) My husband particularly liked the bedroom charging sockets.

  • "The property suited our needs, very convenient for our days out to various places."

    The road noise was more than we had expected, it is a busy road. It was a pity that there is`nt a solid fence between the cottage and the neighbours, for privacy. Otherwise, we had a good stay.

  • "Excellent accommodation for two people."

    Well located for surrounding towns such as Helmsley and Thirsk. Private off road parking was great, although you had to be mindful of traffic on the adjacent B road which was obviously busier at work times. Hosts, Gerry & Ali were lovely when we met them and we encountered no problems which needed their attention. A thoroughly lovely break which included my own birthday midweek. We would certainly recommend this accommodation ☝️

The property

Yon Cottage is a beautifully-appointed cottage situated in the village of Stonegrave near Hovingham in the countryside of North Yorkshire.

This charming, semi-detached house is stone-built and features beamed ceilings, a woodburning stove and an enclosed garden to dine alfresco, perfect for a couple.

After parking up on the driveway, step inside and discover the living/dining room, with a plush sofa and armchair to unwind on in front of the Smart TV.

Enjoy mealtimes together at the dining table, which can be prepared in the contemporary kitchen, courtesy of the electric oven and hob.

On balmy evenings, carry the conversation to the lovely, enclosed garden; here you can savour a cold beverage as you recount the day's adventures.

When the sky darkens, retire inside and up to the first floor, which hosts a king-size bedroom with a TV and an en-suite for your convenience.

In the morning, enjoy a cup of tea in the morning sunshine before exploring your beautiful surroundings.

About the location

HOVINGHAM

Helmsley 8 miles; Malton 8 miles; York 20 miles.

The pretty North Yorkshire village of Hovingham sits amidst the beautiful countryside of the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is a real gem, with a beck running down the high street, two excellent inns, a traditional village shop, a tea room and a bakery. There are excellent walking and cycling opportunities from the village itself, as well as easy access to the beautiful National Park. The stately home and gardens of Castle Howard are just 4 miles away, and the market towns of Malton and Helmsley are 8 miles away. Historic York and the attractions of the East Coast are further afield but well worth the trip!
