The cottage is a Grade II listed barn conversion offering a welcoming base for your stay. Heating is provided by a biomass boiler, so very eco friendly. There is also a wood burning stove to keep you cosy. We are in a quiet village called East Cottingwith: a fantastic base for visiting York and touring Yorkshire. Ideal for cyclists, bird watchers, walkers and anyone who wishes to enjoy a rural location close to the attractions of the city of York. There is no regular public transport. The space The cottage was originally an agricultural barn which has been converted to a high standard, using the original bricks but with modern insulation to keep you warm and cosy. The kitchen units, doors and windows have all been handmade by a local master craftsman. The ground floor comprises a spacious open plan living area with a separate kitchen. The lounge has a wonderful wood burner. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. There is a also a bathroom with a large shower cubicle. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin), and a toilet. The cottage is ideal for 3/4 people. The twin room has two single beds, one is a trundle bed which rolls out from under the other one. Although it is a little snug for two adults, previous guests have been more than happy with the arrangement. You will need your own transport since there is little in the way of public transport. Guest access Guests have the use of the patio and garden area that goes with the cottage. In addition, there is off road parking adjacent to the cottage. Other things to note No cleaning fee! You pay what you see (plus airbnb's own charges). Note that the basic cost is for two people; there is a small extra charge for the third and fourth person. We also provide wood for the first night. You will need your own transport and, although there are farm shops around, you will need to do some shopping before you arrive.
