    “The cottage was nice and quiet they provided everything you needed chairs and sofas not that comfy beds and linen and towels all first class upstairs was very clean.”

    However down stairs needed cleaning dead flies in windows when you pulled blinds back and outside was very poor needed some diy.decking could have done with a sweep and weeding front and back cobwebs all over.pestered constantly with flies went through two cans of fly killer in a couple of days.two stables were adjacent to us looking out of doors.that may have added to the fly influx.shame really as the place could be made really lovely.

The property

Skipsea 1.4 miles.

A beautiful traditional cottage with wooden beams and sage windows and doors, The Cart House rests in Ulrome, near Skipsea, and is the ideal getaway to North Yorkshire, for those who love history and heritage.

Park off-road and be welcomed by the picturesque exterior of this property, where a sitting area welcomes you to relax with a coffee in the sunshine and plan the day ahead of you.

The interior of this property is simply stunning, with hints of history and heritage throughout to add character and charm to the open-plan living area.

With contemporary furniture, treat yourself and your guests to a hearty meal cooked in the spacious kitchen, where there are loads of amenities for guests use, and serve your masterpiece at the dining table, before settling down in the sitting area for a film night, with the bare-brick walls, tall ceilings and wooden roofbeams creating a light and airy atmosphere.

Two bedrooms nestle within this picturesque property, beginning with a double on the mezzanine level with an opulent free-standing bath ideal for relaxing soaks after a long day of exploring and there is also a charming ground-floor twin with a contemporary en-suite shower room.

The rear of the property sports a second enclosed sitting area where you can relax with a glass of your favourite beverage as you reflect on your day.

Ulrome is a quaint hamlet situated next to the coastal village of Skipsea where there is a pub, convenience store and a handful of shops and eateries.

From here you can access the stunning local sandy beach and enjoy watersports, wild swimming or simply relaxing with a picnic and taking in the view.

Skipsea also has the ruins of Norman Castle, and for more historic sites, head over to the seaside town of Bridlington where there is a museum, as well as Bridlington Animal Park, a golf course and extensive coastal walks through Danes Dyke Beach and nature reserve.

Beyond this is the seaside resort of Scarborough, with its lovely harbour, beach, independent stores and great many pubs and eateries, and it also houses a museum, art gallery and a fantastic castle, Scarborough Castle, making it an excellent place to visit all year long.

Filey is another lovely town with a museum, Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park and from here you can visit The Bay Beach or head into the North York Moors for a scenic walk.

All of this and more with a stay at The Cart House.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

SKIPSEA

Hornsea 6 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; Driffield 11 miles; Beverley 15 miles.

Situated 10 miles south of Bridlington and 6 miles north of Hornsea, the vlllage of Skipsea sits in a typically rural setting surrounded by rich, agricultural land, yet also rests within one mile of the beach and is close to the cliffs of the North Sea. The village has its own Post Office and general store, a hairdresser’s and a pub. Many of the houses in the village, both old and new, use cobbles from the sea shore in the building. Just outside the village are the remains of Skipsea Castle. The surrounding countryside is excellent for walking and cycling, whilst the nearby seaside towns of Bridlington and Filey boast long sandy beaches and numerous resort attractions. The Deep Submarium at Hull, Sledmere House and Burton Constable Hall are within 20 miles, whilst the shops, cathedral and museum of historic York, the resort town of Scarborough and the North Yorks Moors Steam Railway at Pickering are within an hour’s drive, and Whitby is just a little further, making Skipsea a superb base for a relaxing holiday.
