Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It's not every day you get to stay in a home dating back to the 18th century. However, this stone cottage in the Castle Howard Estate village of Coneysthorpe invites guests to do just that. Meanwhile, included in your stay, the owners offer a free voucher to use at the Castle Howard Farm Shop and free access to Castle Howard. While vintage pieces bring historic charm, modern home luxuries ensure comfort and practicality. The roll-top bath, for example, is a particularly sweet touch – and the perfect spot to relax after country walks on and around the grounds. Beyond the local area, you'll find the city of York, less than half an hour's drive away.
