Hazels Cottage

Hazels Cottage is a single-bedroom conversion in Hayton, a village between Pocklington and the North Yorkshire coast. The owner has fitted it thoughtfully, including handmade wooden details—a drop-down table folds flat against the kitchen wall to keep the open-plan space uncluttered. Large windows flood the living area with light, and the kitchen has an electric oven and hob for self-catering. The double bedroom connects to an ensuite shower room with a heated towel rail.

The real draw is outside. A private hot tub sits in an enclosed courtyard that backs onto the original barn wall, with seating areas to either side and a lawn beyond. Guests also have access to a shared orchard with additional seating. On-site parking fits two cars. The cottage is all on the ground floor with one step at the entrance; there are further steps in the garden and grounds. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are included, along with a welcome pack. No smoking inside.
