Perfect destination

Set in the Howardian Hills — a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — on the doorstep of Castle Howard and Kirkham Priory, minutes from Malton — Yorkshire's Food Capital — and less than 30 minutes from York, the North Yorkshire Moors and the coast. Walking routes start from the front door, and some of Yorkshire's finest restaurants are just a short drive away. Yew Tree Cottage exemplifies the very best of North Yorkshire self-catering — combining period character, countryside seclusion and warm personal hospitality in one of England's most beautiful rural settings.
