Self-Catering York Cottages

From spacious and modern apartments in the heart of York city centre to cosy historic hideaways a hair’s breadth from the Yorkshire Moors, if you’re planning a holiday to York and the surrounding region, there are lots of stunning properties too choose from. Looking for a pet-friendly option or a spacious dwelling comprising all modern conveniences ideal for dog-friendly holidays in York? Or self-catering accommodation with a hot tub for a bubbly York hot tub break? You can’t beat the luxury and convenience of holiday cottages in York.

A medieval town steeped in history, the winding streets that characterise historic York are like nothing else. This stunning northern city boasts a wealth of cultural and historic landmarks, from 13th century walls to the magnificent York Minster cathedral. In Roman times York was the capital of Britain and the city’s long and prestigious heritage is everywhere you look. And you will feel rather prestigious yourself as you enjoy a memorable stay in an idyllic York cottage.

Things to do when you stay in York Cottages

It’s a cliché, but a visit to York really is like stepping back in time. While other cities have morphed and changed to keep up with the modern age, there are parts of the city centre that have remained untouched for nearly two millennia. York’s historic highlights are too numerous to mention beyond the famous York Minster, but include the remains of York city walls, the Roman fort of Eboracum and the medieval street named the Shambles; a definite must visit. There are many more of York’s treasures on display in York Castle Museum, Yorkshire Museum and the Jorvik Viking Centre. Our Guide Destination disconnect: The top UK towns for a digital detox revealed York as one of the top 5 locations in the country with the highest number of local attractions to keep visitors engaged and off their phones.

York is a hugely popular city break destination, so you’ll find plenty to see and do as you meander through the ancient streets, including top drawer shops, cafés and restaurants serving hearty, traditional fare. But, make sure you head away from York city centre and the tourists to discover some of the most breath-taking natural landscapes in the whole country, including North York Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Coast. Don’t forget to pack those walking boots, and a camera!

York cottages are the perfect self-catering accommodation if you’re looking to stay in this historic city, giving you the freedom and flexibility to explore, and packed with character. York cottages are your own little hideaway in easy reach of all the main landmarks – making an amazing family holiday that you’ll remember forever. Perhaps you're looking for a cosy holiday cottage within easy reach of York's Chocolate Story, or a York holiday cottage that is perfectly located a stone's throw from York Minster?

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Keith - Verified booking

    Location Likes.

    Amazing location away from main roads which was extremely quiet. Just 50 minutes drive to Scarborough snd very close to York. Lovely kitchen to a very high standard with well equipped utensils (lacking a pizza cutter was the only missing item) Bed is very comfortable and bigger than a super king size. Bathroom has a large walk-in shower with swirlflush toilet. The views are stunning looking out over a beautiful countryside with the enclosed garden being a god send for our Beagle who like to 'explore' so keeping him safe. The following are dislikes. Sofas are very small and uncomfortable spoiling the comfort when relaxing. Needs a corner sofa where you can relax properly. There is a driveway to the owners storage yard which is a few feet away from the window, wrecking privacy when vans drive past or delivery vehicles looking in (careful if sitting in your pants lol as you'll be seen). Hot tub in garden is over looked by owners property which really didn't make us feel comfortable using it. Kitchen has a great extraction for the hob with a metal outlet pipe going outside, sadly the outlet to this has a nonreturn flap which keeps flapping down on reverse wind causing a loud tapping like someone's tapping the windows which can disturb the dog or you if your a light sleeper like me. This was really annoying. The fridge freezer has a faulty solenoid which keeps making a loud click when the thermostat cycles on and off which again causes sleep issues. The fencing and or gate is loose in its housing and thus when there's a slight wind, there is a rattle back and forwards causing the iron mongery to rattle. There was a lovely welcoming hamper which was amazing, the wife got me to by a caffetier because the coffee was that nice. Overall, the property is new and has teething problems. No expense has been spared making this an amazing property. If the things above were to be fixed, I'd definitely return but as it stands I wouldn't return. We didn't meet the hosts, which is what I prefer being a person who like to go on holiday and just enjoy time away quietly. Some hosts can be quite intrusive, but these weren't. Thank you.

    This was a last minute booking and I'm so glad we decided on Crooked Cottage.

    It is such a charming cottage and it's obvious a lot of thought has gone into the furnishings etc. We loved the quirky features. The stairs and layout took some getting used to but that was part of the fun. The little garden was lovely. Some guests seem to have had problems with the next door neighbour but the house has a sold sign on it so think they may have moved. Just one criticism, I couldn't work out how to use the cooker, even with the instructions, and wasn't prepared to spend any more time of my holiday trying to figure it out. A simple oven with "old fashioned knobs" would have been better. Would definitely recommend it although people with mobility issues may find the stairs a bit troublesome.

  • Linda - Verified booking

    We had a great stay at Chapel Cottage.

    Perfect for two, parking right outside in a quiet village, the only things going up and down the road were us and the harvesting lorries. Absolutely fantastic location for visiting York itself and tourist attractions in Yorkshire. Two great pubs, one opposite (not noisy at all, fantastic real ale selection and innovative food) and another about 100yds along, slightly more up market. We had a great time all around, the owner just next door was very welcoming, the little bottle of flavoured gin was delicious. We would definitely recommend Chapel Cottage as a base for sight seeing, or just some down time.

  • Anthony - Verified booking

    Excellent holiday / break and facilities much better than we expected , one of the best we have stayed at and there have been many.

    Minor points: We felt uncomfortable using the rear patio area as the next door neighbours and her dog seemed to dislike our little pet dog and holiday visitors so we did not use it ( shame as we did try and engage with her maybe having a bad day ) Accessing the key on arrival was unusual having to walk through other peoples back space and washing lines , we felt intrusive to there private space. The area and location was perfect with lots of nice walks close by and the people in the village were super friendly. Would absolutely recommend this highly as a holiday break, superb cottage.

  • Tracey - Verified booking

    Robins Nest is a little bolthole in the country.

    We loved our stay in your little cottage. We were greeted to the most amazing welcome package and a basket full of logs for the log fire as well as having a beautiful Christmas tree sparkling in the corner. Kitchen was fully stocked of equipment, shower was amazing and the beds were so comfortable. Not far from the busy streets of York which we visited on Saturday but our favorite day was walking around Pocklington, we had lunch at the Wolds Cafe, absolutely delicious and found a gem of a shop called Dilly Dally which is full of treasures. We will most definitely return.
