Plenty of walks can be enjoyed from your doorstep.

Just a stone's throw away from the cottage, there is a an idyllic Anglican church with surrounding gardens, a post office with convenience store, two great pubs serving food, a pizza restaurant and a coffee shop with delicatessen, as well as a stunning ruins of Sheriff Hutton Castle which is now a popular wedding and events venue.

Slightly further is the interesting walled city of York which is bustling with things to do; from tourist attractions such as the National Railway Museum, The York Dungeon and the JORVIK Viking Centre, to beautiful historic sites such as the city walls, the shambles and the gothic Cathedral.
