About this property

Luxuriously Restored Family Friendly 300 year old English Country Cottage

Ideal for families or couples in need of a break, Yew Tree Cottage sleeps up to six guests. Meticulously renovated and mindfully decorated, this one-of-a-kind country retreat embodies luxury living both inside and out. Natural materials, warm hues, subdued patterns, tasteful artwork and carefully selected fabrics create a classic, cosy British vibe with a nod to the surrounding environment and years gone by.

Get comfortable in one of Yew Tree Cottage’s three downstairs living spaces. Make a favourite family meal in the kitchen, where you’ll find a full welcome basket with fresh bread, butter, milk, eggs, bacon, tea, coffee, cake and a complimentary bottle of wine – all sourced from local farmers and bakers. To make cooking even easier, expect to find a well-stocked pantry and refrigerator.

Toss a few pieces of pre-cut firewood into the wood-burning stove, and hunker down in the family room with one of the many DVDs or a PS2 game. And in the dining room, gather around the solid oak rectory table, which is also ideal for playing board games or putting together jigsaw puzzles late into the evening.

If you’ve got little ones in tow, there’s no need to worry: Toddler toys, a high chair, plastic cutlery, a travel cot, and other kid-friendly gear are all freely available for your use. We even supply extra nappies, a steriliser and bottle warmer! We know what it's like to pack for children and have tried to ensure the home is equipped with everything you might need.

At night, claim a stylish bedroom to call your own. The master bedroom features a super king-sized bed, the cottage’s original fireplace and other high-end touches, and the guest bedroom boasts a double bed and beautiful views across the open fields beyond. A third room has 2 single beds which can be joined to make a large double and it's also got the cottage library – perfect for anyone who needs a bit of space to call their own. (Don’t worry: A great selection of books and magazines means you’ll never be bored!)

A downstairs toilet as well as a well-appointed bathroom on the second floor offer ample room to spread out and freshen up. Prepare to be spoiled with a traditional roll-top bath/shower, underfloor heating and complimentary Aesop bathroom products with hints of ginger root and geranium fragrances.

Throw open the patio door to find Yew Tree Cottage’s lavish details spilled out into your own private garden. On sunny days, take advantage of the barbeque grill and dine outside in style at the outdoor dining table. Come night, soak in the starry skies, which escape unscathed from city light (and street lights!)

Of course, Yew Tree Cottage’s prominent location in the heart of a typical Yorkshire village is simply a bonus to this already spectacular property. Positioned close to a pub and within easy reach of the coast, moors and dales, it’s the perfect place for a day of exploring. And don't miss the chance to explore the local market town of Malton - Yorkshire’s Food Capital - just a few minutes away.

Beyond the attention to physical details, your holiday at Yew Tree Cottage is seamless from the moment you make contact about a stay. Don’t be surprised by how simple it is to truly kick back and relax. After all, this is your hard-earned holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Natasha McCabe

Host profile image
We are Natasha and Paul, and we’d like to be the first to welcome you to Yew Tree Cottage.

When we first encountered Yew Tree, it was love at first sight. Being from London, people thought we were crazy buying something so unfamiliar to us, but how could we pass up this beautiful farmhouse? Built in 1750, it has such a rich history: The town’s water came from the back garden well (which still exists but is no longer used), and it was once a home to evacuees during World War II. Yew Tree’s captivating countryside, the lovely town of Westow, the plentiful fresh air and all the open fields were merely an added bonus.

For many years, we've continuously worked to renovate Yew Tree back to its former glory, and added several special touches along the way to elevate it from simply charming to downright chic.

We want our guests to have a brilliant experience from the moment they enquire about staying with us to the moment they shut the door on their way out. As such, everything we do and offer – from timely communications to a fully stocked kitchen – is focused on a great guest experience.

We are proud supporters of the local community, and we love to share that with those who stay at our property. Fresh coffee, meat, eggs, baked goods and milk are all supplied by local farmers and business owners. As a member of the community (at least for a short while!), we encourage you to make yourself at home at Yew Tree Cottage.

Why they chose this property

Whether its a romantic break, or family getaway, Yew Tree Cottage is the perfect place. Its an original farmhouse built in 1750 and has a real charm - a warm feeling when you walk in that its well loved and homely. Everything has been thought of to ensure you are well looked after, relaxed and feel refreshed to enjoy your well deserved holiday. We also do not forget about the kids - whatever the age they'll also be well looked after.

What makes this property unique

A beautiful stone cottage, with all the mod-cons - open fire, wood stove, nest controlled heating, fibre broadband, plenty of unique artefacts dotted around the rooms to give it that extra special comfortable feel and welcome. Its truly a home away from home. Enjoy your break - you deserve it!
