Garden Cottage at Ganthorpe Hall - Self-catering in Yorkshire
Ganthorpe Hall, Ganthorpe, YO60 6QD, Yorkshire
England,
Regno Unito
Settle down in a tiny Yorkshire hamlet on the fringe of the Howardian Hills AONB. Originally the gardener's cottage, it's attached to Ganthorpe Hall, the owner's family home, but you get a private entrance and pretty garden. Come to stride out into rural landscapes then return to hunker in front of the glowing wood-burner.
Owner Kitty is an artist and has used her creative talent to fill the space with antique finds, warm lighting, colourful textiles and local art, including paintings by her grandfather. This is a generous sort of place: arrive to find the fire lit, help yourself to veggies from the abundant patch, get recommendations for good places to eat and things to do.
It's a stroll or short drive to the nearest village shop in Terrington, visit Malton for smart delis, bourgie gift shops, a gin distillery and a Saturday market. York is lovely for a day out.

Local points of interest from Kitty Pennybacker:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Kitty Pennybacker:
- The garden patio looks out into the orchard, where apple, damson, quince and walnut trees grow. You can help yourself to them as and when you feel like it. Also look at our Instagram to getter a better idea of our cottage @gardencottage_ganthorpe
- You will see and hear birds eating from the bird feeder in the garden, with views into the bucolic fields of the Howardian Hills. Cattle graze in the field below the orchard, you can buy this beef in Castle Howard Farm shop.
- To the right of the cottage sits our walled garden, here my mother grows a variety of vegetables. We love sharing this with guests and can show what is available when you arrive to get you inspired.
- The hamlet of Ganthorpe is set within the Howardian Hills and there are multiple walks straight out of the hamlet with no need to get in the car. You can even walk to Castle Howard or our local (very good) village shop in Terrington.
- The Yorkshire Arboretum sits at the bottom of Ganthorpe and is now hosting a family of red squirrels in its special enclosure. It is a wonderful place for a good walk among a variety of trees and serves great coffee too.
- Castle Howard is on our doorstep, a great place to visit the grounds and house. Ganthorpe Hall was once part of the the Castle Howard estate until 1921 when the Countess of Carlisle died and Ganthorpe was passed on to her granddaughter Rosalind Toynbee.
