  • "We've just had a 3 night stay at The Hayloft, our first visit."

    What a beautiful cottage with everything you need. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival by Sue & Rob. Perfect location, lovely local pub too 'Plum & Partridge' well worth a visit. We will definitely go back.

  • "It was a pleasure to stay in the Hayloft."

    The cottage provided everything one could need, it was spotless and very comfortable. The owners provided an unexpected Welcome Hamper, and a vase of beautiful flowers on arrival, which was so thoughtful, and a wonderful way to begin my break away. I received a very warm welcome in person from Sue and Rob, and they were on hand all week if I needed help or advice. I would certainly return to the Hayloft, and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to friends.

  • "Fantastic week at The Hayloft."

    Everything you could possibly need has been thought of, from the welcome basket that included a bottle of lovely Husthwaite apple juice to the soft bath sheets supplied (a pet hate being towels that are too small!) I had a great week and of course there is so much to do in the area. It was great to see and hear the horses around the property. The one and only (unavoidable) issue was the iffy weather during the week I stayed, but the cottage was so nice that I didn’t mind staying in some of the time. Thank you.

  • "We had a lovely break at The Hayloft."

    The property was immaculate and provided every little home comfort you could ask for. The beds were comfortable and the property has been fitted out to a very high standard. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and although we didn’t need to I would have felt very happy asking for anything we needed. The welcome basket was a fantastic touch and was filled with yummy bread and cakes. Local apple juice which was amazing. There was milk and water in the fridge which meant we didn’t have to run straight out to buy essentials. We would definitely recommend this property. Lots to do and see around here. Being on a farm with horses and a gorgeous cat was the icing on the cake. Thank you

    The cottage was well appointed and had everything we wanted. Our only criticism was not enough clothes drawers or any wardrobe in the bedroom areas for a full weeks stay. We managed ok but with a bit of thought about this there is space to provide these extras. Without these we would still be happy to return as it was ideally placed for our stay. The village has no pub and 1 restaurant. We aren't that bothered but if you want a pub you can go to without having to drive this may not suit you.

This fabulous cottage lies just outside the village of Husthwaite, which sits on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, overlooking the Vale of York.

Perfectly suited for couples or a small family, The Hayloft is wonderfully decorated, with a modern interior and attractive features which create a real home-away-from-home feel throughout.

There is a charming dining table, perfect for breakfast or dinner with your loved ones, backed by an L shaped kitchen with an oak finish.

The ground floor is also home to an all-white classic shower room and a single bedroom complete with a dressing table.

A beautiful aspect of the cottage is the mezzanine bedroom, a double room tucked away beneath low ceilings, with exposed beams and Velux windows which look out towards the lovely grounds.

An armchair rests to the side of the layout, should you wish to take a moment to admire the stunning arrangement, overseeing the downstairs and its contemporary down-lighting.

For more quiet time, the patio area outside is a peaceful place to relax, ideal for a well-earned rest after an adventure-filled afternoon.

Husthwaite is a charming village to base your cottage holiday, offering a pub/restaurant.
