Holiday Cottages, Cawton
The Courtyard boasts three holiday cottages: The Cake House, The Wheelhouse and The Millhouse - which can be rented separately or, for larger groups of friends and families, the houses can be booked as a group.
The Cake House is a cosy yet spacious three bedroom cottage situated in the picturesque village of Cawton, North Yorkshire. Adjoined to the property is The Wheelhouse, a stone barn conversion with four bedrooms, and The Millhouse (the perfect balance of space, comfort, and accessibility) which has three bedrooms.
Our family friendly cottages are located in an area of outstanding natural beauty in one of the beautiful valleys of the Howardian Hills. Just a stone's throw from the Ebor Way, it is a perfect place for a quiet getaway with stunning rural walks and scenery from your doorstep.
Our Surroundings
With York city centre and beautiful coastal towns like Whitby, Runswick Bay and Filey less than an hours drive there is plenty for all to see and do.
Helmsley, our historic market town is just seven miles away and is not to be missed, offering lovely cafes, restaurants and shopping. It's a great day out all year round.
Our neighbouring villages Hovingham and Gilling East are both a thirty minute walk away. Our local pub in Gilling is the perfect country public house offering delicious food and a lovely friendly atmosphere.
Hovingham, a thirty minute walk down spa road bridleway, has a lot to offer for such a small village. Great childrens playpark, a pub, local store, hotel bar, cafe, village markets once a month, a beauty salon and the popular bakery by the stream.
October 2021
We enjoyed our short stay at the Cake House, which is bigger than it looks in the photos, and very clean and comfortable. It is a very rural location so only suitable for drivers who are confident driving on single lane roads. We found lots of lovely villages fairly nearby to mooch around and eat too much in! And we had everything we needed at the house. It’s right next door to a working farm with pigs and sheep. Good for our wheelchair using family member - level access, and a ground floor bedroom with good sized en-suite, with shower cubicle (slightly raised). Overall we really enjoyed our break and Jennie was a thoughtful host.
