Boutique luxury countryside cottage with hot tub, log burner, 4 poster & firepit

Snowdrop Cottage can be found in the heart of the picturesque village of Welburn which is surrounded by the Howardian Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within a few minutes of the iconic Castle Howard yet only a 15-minute drive from the historic city of York. This luxury, boutique style cottage with private hot tub is just the perfect getaway for anyone looking to spoil themselves whilst enjoying this beautiful part of North Yorkshire. The cosy cottage living room is decorated in deep shades with colourful furnishings and the wood panelling provides the perfect ambiance for an evening in front of the wood burner enjoying a choice of Sky or Netflix movies. French doors lead through to a sunny kitchen/dining room with access out to the enclosed gardens. A country style dining table sits to one side; here you can gather for a hearty Yorkshire breakfast before heading out to explore the Howardian Hills or come together on an evening for a delicious home cooked evening meal. The shaker style kitchen offers a host of modern appliances, off the central hallway can be found the family shower room which once again does not fail to impress with its bright colours, patterned tiles and gold accessories. Retire on an evening via the cottage stairs to the first floor and find two beautifully designed bedrooms both offering stunning interior design, beautiful soft furnishings and luxury hotel linens. Choose from a pretty double room with Velux window or a kingsize with four poster bed, statement chandelier light and views of the countryside. Snowdrop Cottage features an enclosed garden with a raised terrace with additional seating for al fresco dining and a private hot tub. Decorated with fairy lights this garden comes alive at night should you wish to enjoy the evening stargazing around the firepit or surrounded by bubbles.
