The Experience

A 19th-century cottage for two in a postcard-perfect Yorkshire village. Home to Shandy Hall, once inhabited by Laurence Sterne, Coxwold has an impressive literary pedigree. A medieval church perches on top of the hill and stone-built cottages run down to tearooms at the bottom. Halfway along is single-storey Braecote, just a short stroll from the cosy Fauconberg Arms pub. Park at the back of the cottage, then step through the door into a sunny kitchen diner. Delightful owner Sarah has done a top-notch renovation job on this old estate worker’s cottage, transforming it into a peaceful country bolthole. Inside, it’s quite a tardis, with a charming blend of contemporary and vintage style. Curl up in front of the wood-burner in the snug sitting room; prepare a romantic supper in the neat modern kitchen. Delicious welcome goodies include scones or locally made biscuits. Sleep in a king-size bed in a calm room overlooking the Hambleton Hills. On sunny days, enjoy breakfast in the pretty garden. Walkers are well placed for the Moors and Dales, history lovers can stroll to Newburgh Priory and Byland Abbey.

Reviews

John, Port Macquarie

My wife and I have just spent the most wonderful week you can imagine in the very pretty and spotlessly clean "Braecote Cottage" in Coxwold North Yorkshire. The cottage belongs to Sarah & Ian Harper, a lovely couple whose attention to detail in regard to comfort & cleanliness is second to none, also that must be mentioned is that everything is supplied that is necessary to make your holiday away from home completely trouble free, just hop in the car, pack the basic necessities and head off, all the necessary "bits and bobs" will be there in the cottage on arrival. We promise you will enjoy.


Henry, Whitehaven

Great cottage. We had a wonderful 4 day break. The cottage has been splendidly refurbished to very high standards, spotlessly clean, big fluffy towels, a very well equipped kitchen with quality utensils, comfortable living room with 2 quality sofa’s, and large king size bed with fluffy pillows. First class. We hope to go back in either the autumn or winter. We spent our time cycling the local roads and the nearby cycling tracks at Sutton Bank National Park Centre. The local pub served a good choice of beers and the food was excellent.

I spent 3 nights at Braecote and they were wonderful. The owner's care and consideration to ensure that her guests have a pleasant experience is superb. I can't find enough superlatives to describe this property. Not only is every room equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, but Sarah also adds lovely touches such as a welcome vase of flowers, and gifts of goodies including apple juice and biscuits. Coxwold is an excellent base for exploring the North York Moors and environs. I hope that I shall return for an inspirational stay.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at Braecote. It's a beautiful cottage in a lovely village, with a good pub just a short stroll away. Sarah is a very helpful host, leaving essentials such as milk and tea, along with some non-essential goodies! We would happily stay again; highly recommended.


Brian, Hull

Braecote is perfectly situated for walking in this stunningly beautiful part of Yorkshire. There are many circular walks, from short strolls to all day hikes without having to use your car. Being just 2 or 3 miles from the Michelin starred Black Swan is another good reason to choose Braecote. The cottage is well equipped, spacious for two people and good value for money. My wife and I would highly recommend a few nights in Braecote.

The neighbourhood

Local points of interest from Sarah Harper

  • Coxwold is one of the prettiest villages in North Yorkshire, and right on the edge of The North York Moors National Park. It’s just over an hour’s drive to Whitby and Scarborough and the quaint villages of Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes.
  • The Michelin starred Black Swan and the Abbey Inn are close by. Chef Tommy Banks and his team grow and forage a wonderful range of ingredients to produce unique seasonal menus. If you don't have a reservation you can order a food box ahead of your stay.
  • Spend time exploring the medieval city of York, the spa town of Harrogate, Ripon with its stunning cathedral and picturesque Knaresborough overlooking the river. The market towns of Helmsley and Malton (our northern foodie capital) are a short drive away.
  • Great walks and stunning scenery; climb to the top of the White Horse at Kilburn & soak up the views over the vale of York. Cyclist will love the winding roads or head off to explore the moors cycle trails. More adventure? Book a flight in a glider.
  • The area is steeped in history: Newburgh Prior, Byland Abbey and Shandy Hall are on your doorstep, Castle Howard, Duncombe Park, Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey and Fountains Abbey are a short drive away.
  • We're close to the market towns Easingwold with its Georgian architecture, cobbled square, independent shops and pubs and Thirsk, once home to Yorkshire's most famous author and vet James Herriot.
