About this property

Lovely countryside barn conversion Phlomis cottage

Together they form a most impressive west facing facade, with superb views and memorable sunsets. Peaceful, settled, rooted effortlessly in the landscape, Manor Farm and its cottages are in the heart of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A central base from which to explore the delights of North Yorkshire.

Nestling in the heart of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, only 9 miles from Castle Howard and 25 minutes from York. Enjoy stunning views across open countryside, and rolling hills with fields of sheep, horses, woodland, bird life and truly memorable sunsets. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway, in a property cared for by the owners family, Phlomis is a perfect place from which to explore all of North Yorkshire. Heather’s home baked Hikers Delight and fresh flowers await.
Full of character, Phlomis has pitch pine beams, exposed stonework and country furnishings adding to a timeless feel.From the beautifully dressed stone arch entrance, the ground floor is open plan with kitchen eating and sitting area. Upstairs the main bedroom is a double with countryside views and sunsets. The pretty bathroom with toilet, washbasin, and full sized bath. A second bedroom has a double bed and bunk beds. All rooms are well heated via our central biomass boiler. Wi Fi throughout. There is ample private parking with easy access. The separate laundry room onsite has washing machines, and tumble dryer, and the Reception room has lots of additional local information, tourism leaflets, and maps to borrow.Bikes may be stored under cover.
The adjacent farmhouse garden has been created with a life time of love, unique in its design, with plenty of seating and secluded areas. Our guests are welcome to sit a while or wander.

Voor kalmte en rust is dit de perfecte plek
Wij hebben een fijne twee weken bij Sally gehad. Sally is de perfecte host en maakt het je graag naar de zin. De ligging is perfect om de omgeving en York te bezichtigen. Het enige wat voor ons echt ontbrak is een douche. Dat hadden wij niet goed uit de tekst gehaald. Deze vakantiewoning is perfect voor een gezin met iets oudere kinderen of een stel.
