Charming village, lovely cottage

Hovingham is a great location, close to lots of historic houses and towns and in the midst of beautiful countryside. And with a village shop next door, open almost all hours and selling seemingly everything you might need. The village market on the first Saturday of the month was a gem - especially the cake stall and the local butcher. The house was v comfortable, with an excellent kitchen and pantry - even has a freezer. Belinda was v helpful, sending on a tablet connector I'd left behind in the main bedroom. We thoroughly recommend the cottage.

Lovely well equipped country cottage

Very well equipped, beautifully furnished, lovely bed linens etc. Really nice spot in the centre of the village, 1 minute walk to the Worsley Arms hotel bar and a village shop next door but one. Very warm and welcoming property, pretty much everything had been thought of including a lovely welcome basket. Lots of pots and pans, utensils, etc. We loved every minute of the actual stay, including a little trip up the road to the beautiful Castle Howard. Would definitely recommend this for a quiet country stay.

Good with some challenges

So many great things about this cottage. Great location, interesting layout, convenient dishwasher and laundry. But, unfortunately the second hand smoke was disgusting when we arrived. Belinda had the beautiful drapes cleaned. That helped but didn’t remove the smell. Belinda stopped communicating with us. The village is charming and we were able to take many day trips.

Wonderful Stay

A lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Everything was there for us. A lovely welcome pack was waiting, even including a treat for our dog. Although pub next door was closed there was a nice one a two minutes walk away. General store next door which had everything and a very nice bakery and cafe all situaated within minutes walk. Highly recommend this property and village. Chris Alli & Peanut

Beware the STAIRS

Delightfull little cottage but the stairs to the main bedroom are a little steep. The stairs to the top, 3 x single beds, are in my opinion NOT suitable for anyone except small and very mobile people. BEWARE.

Perfect location for visiting the whole of Yorkshire

This was our first visit to Yorkshire so the location was key as we wanted to visit the whole of Yorkshire. The cottage was lovely as was the village of Hovingham. Belinda was very easy to deal with and was very swift to respond to any questions we had. A great choice for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Oh and the local Baker’s is fantastic!

Quaint cottage in a lovely village

Had a great time at the cottage, very comfortable, well equipped and has all mod cons. Communication from Belinda was great and she was even able to arrange an earlier check in which was much appreciated. The village itself is small and well kept with great walks on the doorstep. It also has all necessary amenities: couple of pubs, shop, bakery and a mobile fish and chip van. Thoroughly recommended, many thanks!

Nicely situated in beautiful Hovingham

The cottage was really cosy, anyone bringing a dog the utility at the back entrance is a plus, and a large shower room at the back of the utility was also a bonus. The stairs to the top room were narrow but fine for the teenage girls. They had a smart TV in their room which was a bonus. Pub & grocery store to either side, Also a bakery, mobile fish & chips and mobile post office. Fantastic park in the village for little ones. Good local walks.
