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 transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - 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 - Smoking not allowed ### 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) ### York - House - Stay 6 - Garden - Central Location The Groves - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=100643715&PinnedHotelID=100643715&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 - Washer - Pet friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&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.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=110988461&PinnedHotelID=110988461&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 - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=102940891&PinnedHotelID=102940891&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=76499357&PinnedHotelID=76499357&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=76499357,100643715,106160618,110988461,102940891) ## 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 Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Jul 1, 2024 #### Highly recommend Beautiful, clean, modern accommodation. 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. Aug 11, 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 Dec 2, 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.
