    “We had a fabulous weekend with our family and the house and its facilities were perfect for us.”

    Loads of space so we could have our own time but also well set out so we could all be together too, which is what we mainly did! Loved it all. Would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back.

About the location

HOVINGHAM

Helmsley 8 miles; Malton 8 miles; York 20 miles.

The pretty North Yorkshire village of Hovingham sits amidst the beautiful countryside of the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is a real gem, with a beck running down the high street, two excellent inns, a traditional village shop, a tea room and a bakery. There are excellent walking and cycling opportunities from the village itself, as well as easy access to the beautiful National Park. The stately home and gardens of Castle Howard are just 4 miles away, and the market towns of Malton and Helmsley are 8 miles away. Historic York and the attractions of the East Coast are further afield but well worth the trip!
