About this property

Cottage in village location with lovely views to the Hambleton Hills and White H

Colton Loft is located in the quiet village of Husthwaite offering accommodation for 6 people in 3 ensuite double bedrooms. Lovely views of the Hambleton Hills. Within easy access of the North Yorkshire Moors, The Wolds, East Coast and Yorkshire Dales. There is parking for one car on the driveway and street parking. A large, well equipped fitted dining kitchen on the ground floor, with patio doors to a small paved terrace area. Upstairs is a large landing with a desk and seating, a large sitting room with tv and an electric stove and comfortable seating, with lovely views to the White Horse on the Hambleton Hills. All three bedrooms have double beds and ensuite bathrooms. Easingwold is the nearest small town (about 3 miles away) with plenty of shops, cafes, pubs, banks etc. There are many good pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area for those in need of a rest from cooking. The village pub is the Plum & Partridge (01347)868642 and is a short walk from Colton Loft. Visitors also like the Fauconberg at Coxwold, the Carlton Inn at Carlton Husthwaite and the Durham Ox at Crayke. There are many places of interest to explore - by car, bike or on foot. A number of National Trust properties within a short drive as well as Castle Howard, a lovely place to visit for the whole family. Sorry, no pets allowed. Please note that the rear patio is enclosed and gated, but there is a POND in the garden beyond, so SMALL CHILDREN WILL NEED SUPERVISION at all times. All the beds are doubles.. THIS IS A NO SMOKING PROPERTY

5 nights in the Hambleton Hills

We stayed here with the in laws and our 2 young children for 5 nights. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us and lots to do in the surrounding area, mostly accessible by car with a few walks from the village. The host was friendly and communicative but we had total privacy throughout our stay.

A Lovely Stay!

We had a lovely stay in the cottage! It was spacious, clean and well-equipped with everything you could need while staying. The location was perfect with beautiful views and a 3 min walk from a nice pub. Yasmina made the check-in and out process super simple also. Overall a great getaway and we would definitely go back!

Family Reunion exploring York

Colton Loft was very clean and comfortable. It had all the amenities that one would wish, situated in a beautiful quiet village with the helpful host living just next door. The 3 local pubs Plum and Partridge, Carlton Inn and the Fauconberg were all very good. Exploring York was also easy with the use of the excellent Rawcliff Bar park and ride.

Lovely week in York area

We chose this property because it's location allowed easy reach of York, Harrogate and sightseeing opportunities towards the North Yorks Moors. Lovely house in a quiet village. Generous rooms, great facilities. We were late in the season so didn't get a chance to use the outdoors areas but would be great in the summer. No issues, but where we had questions/requests the host responded almost immediately and came round if necessary. Highly recommended

Annual Mothers Day Retreat

What an amazing place! More space here than any of our houses and we felt spoilt to have an en-suite bathroom each. Three generations - me, my mum and my daughter had a lovely time here. Parkrun was nearby and we walked to a lovely farm shop to top up our provisions for the weekend. Living room was very cosy and loads of space in the kitchen. It was a shame the weather wasn’t nice enough for us to have breakfast in the garden as it was also lovely - we’ll just have to come back in the summer! Beautiful village in a very peaceful part of the country. Yasmina was a perfect host too. Thank you!

Colton Loft was a fantastic base for our exploration of the immediate area, York and the Yorkshire Moors. The minute we stepped in, we felt like we were on holiday. The set up is great: a big lounge area with fantastic views of the White Horse and beautiful sunsets, a big kitchen diner and three en suite bedrooms. Three generations of our family were catered for brilliantly by this property. There are walks from the front door, and York and the Moors are within a 30 minute drive. Sutton Bank is close: what an amazing view! There is a tennis court down the road as part of a multi use play area and a nice pub within a three minute walk. Yasminas communication was excellent, both before and during the trip: she patiently answered any questions I had. We all had a relaxing and enjoyable break, and Colton Loft contributed hugely to our enjoyment of being in a beautiful part of the world. Thankyou to Yasmina for a wonderful stay: a clean, well thought out and brilliantly furnished property.

About the host

Hosted by Yasmina Macalister

Host profile image
I bought and converted the property in 2012. It was originally a Wesleyan Church Hall and is located next to my home - so I am always available to help visitors if needed.

Why they chose this property

I bought the property because it is in the village where I have lived for 25 years and is in a beautiful part of North Yorkshire. The village is quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of many interesting areas and places to visit. We are surrounded by lovely countryside and the view from the cottage is towards the Hambleton Hills and the White Horse at Kilburn.

What makes this property unique

The property is conveniently located for visiting all the attractions Yorkshire has to offer. Visitors seem to like the setting, the decor and the fact that all bedrooms are ensuite.
