Having previously been a joiner, Guy has put his skills to great use, including the bed heads in the master bedrooms that have been meticulously made by hand - this can be seen in so many of the finishing touches in these lovely holiday homes. The Mill has three very comfortable bedrooms, all that can be set either as super king or twin beds, perfect if you are planning a family holiday. The cottage has been beautifully finished with your comfort in mind, a fully fitted kitchen provides everything you need, coupled with a comfortable sitting area for those nights where you just want to kick back and relax. For the long summer evenings there is a private outside area with space to eat and a BBQ for your use. The surrounding area is beautiful and yet you are so very close to York, only minutes drive away to the city centre and yet you are settled in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. The perfect family escape. There is a car charging point in each of the 5 cottages at the farm, the points are a 16a designated supply accessible with a standard UK 13a three pin plug. Guest’s are more than welcome to charge there cars but we ask that they leave in the cottage a contribution towards the cost of the electric used. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100650000/100643800/100643715/4408cb31.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Holt York-Charming York House with 3 Bedrooms The Groves - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=100643715&PinnedHotelID=100643715&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102950000/102940900/102940891/b50f7e83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 8 Eighth Ave · Retreat On The Green - Beautiful 4-Bed Home - Pass The Keys Layerthorpe - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=102940891&PinnedHotelID=102940891&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106170000/106160700/106160618/5b11a0e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Ebor House - sleeps 7 guests in 3 bedrooms with hot tub South Bank - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=106160618&PinnedHotelID=106160618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, Internet](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110990000/110988500/110988461/3c5d0ab8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 Clementhorpe Maltings - a family break that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms South Bank - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking available - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=110988461&PinnedHotelID=110988461&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=76499357&PinnedHotelID=76499357&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=76499357,100643715,102940891,106160618,110988461) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

Surrounded by beautiful countryside but just a short drive into York city centre, it has everything you need. Tracey and Guy are very welcoming and accommodating. ##### Ellie R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona I. 11 Aug 2023 #### A fantastic base for a family break We are regular visitors to this wonderful cottage. Guy and Tracy are the perfect hosts and all the cottages are beautiful. The Mill retains a number of interesting original features, combining the history of the building with modern comfort in perfect harmony.The location is also idyllic, providing a feeling of rural tranquility yet within easy reach of amenities. We are looking forward to our next visit already! ##### Fiona I. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 2 Dec 2022 #### You will not be disappointed! We only booked The Mill for 3 nights but could happily have stayed longer. A lovely property - all amenities you could need. A lovely welcome pack including fresh eggs, bread, milk, apple juice plus more. We were a group of 6 friends, so the option of twin beds was a bonus. Lovely comfortable beds, great quality linen and towels. Everything you could possible need was there, Great location only a couple of miles from York City Centre. Would definitely stay there again. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
