Lawns House Farm Family Cottage

Cottage Description

With sleeping accommodation for up to thirteen people, this property also has a ground floor bedroom with shower room that may be of interest to visitors with limited mobility - please make enquiries. A six bedroomed former farmhouse, it is great for use as a base for family gatherings or reunions.

Between Skipworth and North Duffield, and only twelve miles from York, it is a great base to explore a particularly beautiful and interesting part of the country. With en suite facilities and two sitting rooms, as well as pleasant gardens and ample off road parking, there is everything that a large grouping would require for a great holiday break.

The River Derwent forms the eastern boundary of North Duffield, while Skipwith has the remains of an old Second World War airfield. York though is the jewel in the local crown and is just twelve miles away.

Selby, a lovely market town just seven miles away has a wonderful abbey, although you wouldn't want to holiday here without fully exploring the beautiful Minster city of York with the Jorvik Museum, the National Railway Museum, and the Shambles, the well known shopping street.

Customer Rating/Reviews

The house had plenty of space and the garden was excellent for young children. I enjoyed the holiday and the property. It was ideal for a family get together of 12 people ranging in age from 8 months to 70 years. The area, although not in a major tourist zone, still provided plenty to do.

Fantastic value for money. The property was within driving distance of activities and places to visit for all 13 members of our family, from age 3 to 83. The property is spacious and is much bigger than it looks in photographs. It is set in a beautiful and quiet location and the welcome packets of biscuits, refreshments and milk were much appreciated. Very helpful caretaker. Author: Mrs Dunstan, Hornchurch, - Date of Stay: 08/2011
