Braecote - Self-catering cottage in Yorkshire
Main Street, Coxwold, YO61 4AB, Yorkshire
England,
Reino Unido
A 19th-century cottage for two in a postcard-perfect Yorkshire village. Home to Shandy Hall, once inhabited by Laurence Sterne, Coxwold has an impressive literary pedigree. A medieval church perches on top of the hill and stone-built cottages run down to tearooms at the bottom. Halfway along is single-storey Braecote, just a short stroll from the cosy Fauconberg Arms pub. Park at the back of the cottage, then step through the door into a sunny kitchen diner. Delightful owner Sarah has done a top-notch renovation job on this old estate worker’s cottage, transforming it into a peaceful country bolthole. Inside, it’s quite a tardis, with a charming blend of contemporary and vintage style. Curl up in front of the wood-burner in the snug sitting room; prepare a romantic supper in the neat modern kitchen. Delicious welcome goodies include scones or locally made biscuits. Sleep in a king-size bed in a calm room overlooking the Hambleton Hills. On sunny days, enjoy breakfast in the pretty garden. Walkers are well placed for the Moors and Dales, history lovers can stroll to Newburgh Priory and Byland Abbey.

Local points of interest from Sarah Harper:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Sarah Harper:
- Coxwold is one of the prettiest villages in North Yorkshire, and right on the edge of The North York Moors National Park. It’s just over an hour’s drive to Whitby and Scarborough and the quaint villages of Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes.
- The Michelin starred Black Swan and the Abbey Inn are close by. Chef Tommy Banks and his team grow and forage a wonderful range of ingredients to produce unique seasonal menus. If you don't have a reservation you can order a food box ahead of your stay.
- Spend time exploring the medieval city of York, the spa town of Harrogate, Ripon with its stunning cathedral and picturesque Knaresborough overlooking the river. The market towns of Helmsley and Malton (our northern foodie capital) are a short drive away.
- Great walks and stunning scenery; climb to the top of the White Horse at Kilburn & soak up the views over the vale of York. Cyclist will love the winding roads or head off to explore the moors cycle trails. More adventure? Book a flight in a glider.
- The area is steeped in history: Newburgh Prior, Byland Abbey and Shandy Hall are on your doorstep, Castle Howard, Duncombe Park, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey and Fountains Abbey are a short drive away.
- We're close to the market towns Easingwold with its Georgian architecture, cobbled square, independent shops and pubs and Thirsk, once home to Yorkshire's most famous author and vet James Herriot.
