Holtby Grange Cottages - Owl Cottage

Owl Cottage is a single-bedroom barn conversion at Holtby Grange, a cluster of five holiday properties arranged around a courtyard on the outskirts of Holtby village, five miles from York city centre. The cottage sits on ground level, accessed directly from the shared courtyard, with its own enclosed lawned garden complete with patio, terrace and summerhouse.

Inside, the open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining and sitting areas under a vaulted ceiling, with a wood burner as its focal point. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, microwave and fridge-freezer. A single bedroom contains a super kingsize bed, and there's a wet room with shower. Essentials including electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are covered. An external utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer is shared with the other cottages on site; an external bike store and parking for two cars are available.

The location suits couples wanting to base themselves near York while staying somewhere quiet. The property is no-smoking. There is a fenced pond in the garden area 100 yards away.
