About this property
York 6 miles. This contemporary, semi-detached cottage is peacefully set within the grounds of Swallow Hall Golf Club, close to the beautiful city of York. With the accommodation entirely across the ground floor, The Milking Parlour sits in a superb position for discovering the attractive towns and countryside of Yorkshire and historic York City, just a short drive away. Overlooking the well-maintained gardens, the cottage offers a sociable open plan living area - a light and airy place to relax together with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy sitting area. Two bright and comfortable bedrooms provide a good nights rest, and a family bathroom completes the accommodation at this lovely cottage. Outside is a front garden area overlooking the golf course, where you can relax on sunny afternoons with a picnic, planning tomorrows adventures. Practice your swing with a round of golf at subsidised rates. Take a peaceful stroll around the course or through the surrounding Forestry Authority woodlands, whilst within easy reach, the Yorkshire Wolds provide picture-perfect countryside to explore. A ten-minute drive takes you to the centre of York, with its ancient architecture, renowned restaurants, pubs and tea rooms. Make sure to take a tour of the city walls and the atmospheric cobbled streets, with quaint shops set along The Shambles. Return to this lovely cottage after a busy day, a wonderful base for friends and families seeking the sights of this rich area. Note: This cottage is next to Refs. 904237 and 931715, together they sleep 10.
The city of York needs no recommendation, for it teems with interest for the holidaymaker: the Minster, its medieval walls, boat trips on the River Ouse, York Races, museums (including the famous National Railway Museum and the Castle Museum), and the internationally-renowned Jorvik Viking Centre and its "time trip" experience. Summer and winter, there is something to fascinate the whole family.

It was extremely clean and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and bath and comfortable beds. Set in wonderful surroundings it is both in the country and very close to York, a short drive away is the park and ride, designer outlets, shops, and restaurants. I received a detailed text message on how to find it and where to park, and when I arrived a lovely touch was a pint of milk in the fridge and some biscuits on the side. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting York and would love to return
