English Cottage in area of outstanding natural beauty
Our home is a pretty Cottage in the beautiful village of Hovingham on the outskirts of York, North Yorkshire. Hovingham was voted in the top 10 most desirable villages to live in the UK and has a wonderful Michelin star restaurant called Myse, a great bakery and a well stocked village shop.
The cottage is very tastefully decorated and clean and tidy. We have a very pretty garden with a few different areas to sit out in and listen to the birds with a cup of tea.
The main bedroom has a king size bed, the second bedroom has a double bed. We have one main bathroom and a WC downstairs.
We do have a dog for anyone with allergies although the dog will not be there and the house will be clean. We do not allow our dog upstairs.
Well behaved dogs are welcome to stay in our home and we would consider a swap in England where our well behaved dog would also be welcome.
Washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.
Very solid internet service.
