Entrance is gained into the comfortable living room which is complete with a stunning wood burner adding extra charm and additional heat, giving a great place to snuggle up in front of the fire on those colder evenings with a glass or two of red wine.

The village has a high-end restaurant, hotel with bar and restaurant, bakery with tearooms along with a village store and coffee shop offering lots of choice for food. Hovingham Hall stands in the centre of this picturesque village. Home Cottage is just eight miles from the wonderful market towns of Helmsley and Malton and just 17 miles from York, which is a must.
