This is hands down, the best accommodation in York for a couple, a family of 4 or two couples. The house oozes luxury but also warmth and comfort. The pictures are an exact representation of the property with a huge, modern chefs kitchen with 5 gas burners and a 900ml electric oven. But who can be bothered cooking with such a stunning view from both lounge and kitchen. The rear of the house has a fire pit and looks into a very pretty field with a small olive grove and a field of geese (you need to squint and listen carefully to spot them). Then beyond is a mountain view.
Just open a wine bottle, create a platter and Stoke the wood burning fire. The beds are a delightful mix of soft and firm with wonderful feather quilts. There is plenty of room on the couches to all sit together or read alone in the “cozy nook” or watch TV with family in the main lounge room. I couldn’t stop staring at all the small details. The wooden fans, there old wood burning stove in the kitchen, the kitchen bench seating, the gold taps in the bathroom, the cool black stone sink. Natasha really has an eye for design and the result is rustic, luxury. The neighbourhood is so so so quiet. No Jody dogs. We didn’t see our hear a single person there entire weekend. I’m really not sure what else to add other than my daughter described this house as “Mum’s dream house”. And it is! Thank you so much Natasha for creating an amazing place to stay and so diligently restoring this character cottage.
