This beautifully presented cottage provides excellent accommodation for four wishing to explore this hidden corner of Yorkshire, yet only a short drive to the coast and inland to historic York and Beverley. Step inside and find whitewashed beams and a warming wood burner surrounded by comfortable sofas. A Sky Glass TV will provide your evening entertainment. The kitchen/dining room sits to the rear of the property and offers lovely views of the garden. A small inglenook decorative fireplace adds to the charm. Providing a host of modern appliances, this country kitchen is a delight. Delicious home cooked meals can be enjoyed on an evening at the extendable dining table. A small utility room with separate toilet leads off the kitchen and here you can find a washing machine and additional cupboard space. Take the winding cottage stairs to the first floor and find two very pretty bedrooms. A double with TV and garden views and a super kingsize with a Jack and Jill door to the house bathroom. Beautifully decorated and with luxury soft furnishings both bedrooms offer a zip and link option.
Unusually for an 18th-century cottage the bathroom in Mrs Cracker’s Cottage is spacious providing a bath raised on a plinth where you can enjoy a relaxing soak before turning in for the night. There is also a shower cubicle for that invigorating shower fist thing in the morning, setting you up for the day. A pretty cottage garden awaits outside offering a sunny patio area, with an outdoor dining table and reclining seats allowing you to enjoy al fresco dining from the Webber barbecue provided. A small Astro turf lawn and secluded gravel garden, mature borders packed with summer flowers and mature trees line both sides providing a secluded and private area to enjoy al fresco dining or a lazy day in the summer sun. The surrounding rolling chalk countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds offers miles of walking and cycling opportunities with a host of pretty villages and hamlets to explore. Lund is home to a traditional village pub and a firm favourite with the locals offering tasty hearty pub food and comfortable interiors. Only a 2-mile drive away is a Michelin star restaurant which lies in the beautiful village of South Dalton. Booking early is advised to avoid disappointment.
The market town of Beverley and the ancient, cobbled streets of York are under an hour away. Don’t forget to bring your golf clubs with you as there are a number of golf course within the area. Take a drive to the coast and enjoy the vibrant seaside towns of Hornsea and Bridlington, or further up the coast is the home of Captain James Cook – Whitby. The stately homes of Sledmere House and Gardens, Burton Agnes and Castle Howard are a must visit. Whilst RSPB Bempton Cliffs and the North York Moors National Park are a little further away and Hornsea beach only a 15-mile drive. Making Mrs Cracker’s Cottage the perfect luxury Wolds cottage for your Yorkshire holiday. Beach 20 miles.

I cannot recommend this cottage enough.
I cannot recommend this cottage enough. Flawlessly clean and really beautiful with enough space in the garden for the dog to roam. Situated in the centre of a lovely little village. The owner was very welcoming and was nearby for any problems although we didn’t have any. Very much a home from home.
Lovely stay with nice welcome package. Cosy cottage with lots of comfort. Friendly owner. Near Beverly, York and coast

We stayed in Mrs Cracker’s cottage with our two small children.
We stayed in Mrs Cracker’s cottage with our two small children. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and Tracy left a selection of delicious treats. The house is incredibly comfortable - great beds, lovely bathroom and extremely well equipped kitchen. It’s very well thought out. There is lots to do in the local area for families (beach, country houses, biking, walking, adventure play) a great pub and small playground in the village. We will be back and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. 5 stars!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village, very clean and everything in pristine condition just one issu
Beautiful cottage in a lovely village, very clean and everything in pristine condition just one issue and that was the sofas being very low , fine for most people but my husband not being very agile and getting on in years found it very difficult to get out of hence the lower rating.
