    Elley, her husband and family were so welcoming. Our black lab loved playing with their two boxer dogs in their paddock. Perfect to tire them all out. The gated utility and provision of bowls, dog mat and treats was perfect. The cottage is...

    The house was practically perfect as a holiday cottage, beautifully decorated in a beautiful minimal style but somehow having everything you could ever need on holiday. A really comfortable and relaxing house, located in an area with loads going on!

Elley
Grooms Cottage is on a private estate next to the ruins of Sheriff Hutton Castle. The property is in a peaceful setting but only a few minutes walk away from the village pub, deli and cafe, and general store. Our cosy cottage was completely renovated in 2021 and is in a great location for walkers, cyclists, and explorers. It’s about 10 miles from both York and Malton, Castle Howard is under 6 miles away, and the coast can be reached in an hour.
My family, pet dogs and cat live at the Farm House directly opposite Grooms Cottage. Please call me on my mobile if you have any queries.
Grooms Cottage is located in Sheriff Hutton on the edge of the Howardian Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The property is on a private estate so there is little traffic and noise but at the same time you can walk into the village and find the post office/ village store, cafe/deli and pub in a few minutes. There is a lovely circular walk directly outside the property that takes you around the perimeter of the privately owned 14th Century Castle and through the woods to the church where Richard III’s only son, Edward, is supposedly interred. Castle Howard is a 10 minutes drive away. The centre of historic York can be reached in just over 20 minutes and the food capital of Yorkshire, Malton, is also close and definitely worth a visit. Parking is available for guests directly outside Grooms Cottage. Further parking is available on Main Street on the roadside if needed.
