Luxuriously Restored Family Friendly 300 year old English Country Cottage

Ideal for families or couples in need of a break, Yew Tree Cottage sleeps up to six guests. Meticulously renovated and mindfully decorated, this one-of-a-kind country retreat embodies luxury living both inside and out. Natural materials, warm hues, subdued patterns, tasteful artwork and carefully selected fabrics create a classic, cosy British vibe with a nod to the surrounding environment and years gone by.

Get comfortable in one of Yew Tree Cottage’s three downstairs living spaces. Make a favourite family meal in the kitchen, where you’ll find a full welcome basket with fresh bread, butter, milk, eggs, bacon, tea, coffee, cake and a complimentary bottle of wine – all sourced from local farmers and bakers. To make cooking even easier, expect to find a well-stocked pantry and refrigerator.

Toss a few pieces of pre-cut firewood into the wood-burning stove, and hunker down in the family room with one of the many DVDs or a PS2 game. And in the dining room, gather around the solid oak rectory table, which is also ideal for playing board games or putting together jigsaw puzzles late into the evening.

If you’ve got little ones in tow, there’s no need to worry: Toddler toys, a high chair, plastic cutlery, a travel cot, and other kid-friendly gear are all freely available for your use. We even supply extra nappies, a steriliser and bottle warmer! We know what it's like to pack for children and have tried to ensure the home is equipped with everything you might need.

At night, claim a stylish bedroom to call your own. The master bedroom features a super king-sized bed, the cottage’s original fireplace and other high-end touches, and the guest bedroom boasts a double bed and beautiful views across the open fields beyond. A third room has 2 single beds which can be joined to make a large double and it's also got the cottage library – perfect for anyone who needs a bit of space to call their own. (Don’t worry: A great selection of books and magazines means you’ll never be bored!)

A downstairs toilet as well as a well-appointed bathroom on the second floor offer ample room to spread out and freshen up. Prepare to be spoiled with a traditional roll-top bath/shower, underfloor heating and complimentary Aesop bathroom products with hints of ginger root and geranium fragrances.

Throw open the patio door to find Yew Tree Cottage’s lavish details spilled out into your own private garden. On sunny days, take advantage of the barbeque grill and dine outside in style at the outdoor dining table. Come night, soak in the starry skies, which escape unscathed from city light (and street lights!)

Of course, Yew Tree Cottage’s prominent location in the heart of a typical Yorkshire village is simply a bonus to this already spectacular property. Positioned close to a pub and within easy reach of the coast, moors and dales, it’s the perfect place for a day of exploring. And don't miss the chance to explore the local market town of Malton - Yorkshire’s Food Capital - just a few minutes away.

Beyond the attention to physical details, your holiday at Yew Tree Cottage is seamless from the moment you make contact about a stay. Don’t be surprised by how simple it is to truly kick back and relax. After all, this is your hard-earned holiday.

Beautiful cottage in lovely Yorkshire village. Cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Our young grandchildren loved the childrens books and toys, unexpected but welcome extra. The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated. We would love to return.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage. Westow is the perfect base for visiting North Yorkshire with York, Malton and the coast all within easy reach. We loved the pub next door and the playground 5 minutes away and were able to cycle to nearby villages very easily on the quiet country roads. Natasha made everything very easy by ordering us daily milk deliveries, a veg box and a BBQ pack from the local butcher. The cottage was spotless and has everything you need for a week away. Her welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking some meals. Our two year old twins loved visiting some of the local farms and attractions including Beetlebank farm, Piglets Adventure Farm, and Wolds's Way Lavendar fields with its miniature railway. A day trip to Whitby on a sunny day was a great addition and very easily reached too.

Lovely weekend in a beautiful cottage
We had a wonderful time at the Yew Tree Cottage. The house has everything you need to have a nice relaxing time and also lots of fun for the children and there was everything we needed there for our toddler and baby. The lovely hamper that awaited us upon our arrival was a lovely touch. The little town of Westow is beautiful and the children's playground is excellent. Thank you so much!

A midsummernight's dream
We spent a beautifull week in the Yew Tree Cottage. We enjoyed the welcome basket with the local products very much. The cottage is cute, with large bedrooms, very practical kitchen with all the toys you need, nice living and dining room. Unfortunately we only could dinner once in the garden because of the weather. We visited Yorkshire, Leeds, Castle Howard (*****), Fountains Abbey (*****), Durham, Ripon, Whitby, Scarborough.... We made our shopping in Malton and Norton, not far away from the cottage. The only things you can improve are: more plates (so you don't need to use the dish washer all the time), clear windows (we missed the view), 3 third bedroom in stead of the bureau.
