Located in the village of Buckton, a stone’s throw away from the coastal path and RSPB bird reserve at Bempton, is this charming double-fronted holiday home, Holly Farm Cottage. Set across two floors and sleeping up to six guests, Holly Farm Cottage makes an idyllic base for a family or group of friends looking to explore the delights of Yorkshire, enjoying close proximity with easy access to the glorious golden sands of Bridlington, the coves of Flamborough, and the beaches of Filey, with Scarborough just a little further along the coast. At the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, Holly Farm Cottage provides access to numerous walks and cycle rides around the pretty Wolds villages enroute to the historic market towns of Driffield and Beverley. Walks and cycle routes around the Flamborough Heritage Headland provide breathtaking views from the 400ft high cliffs. Catch a glimpse of the famous puffins and other birds as you explore the headland, you may be lucky and see dolphins, seals and whales. Explore the coves and find the caves or even go fossil hunting at Speeton. The nearby Bempton train station facilitates travel to Filey, Hunmanby, Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and Scarborough without the need for a car. On arrival you can unload at the front door before driving to the rear of the property to park on the two private off-road parking spaces, making loading and unloading an easy task. Entering the front door there is a central hallway leading through to the light and airy lounge, where you can look forward to putting your feet up and relaxing in front of the crackling woodburning stove before making your way through to the open-plan kitchen diner.
Make use of the range of fantastic facilities provided in the well-equipped kitchen, housing an electric oven, gas hob and microwave, as well as a handy dishwasher to assist with the cleaning, and serve your family or friends at the nearby dining table, with ample seating for six. In the warmer months, make mealtimes an alfresco affair with a peaceful seat amongst the greenery of the rear garden; a lovely spot to soak in the last of the evening sun with your favourite tipple following a day of adventure.
As day turns to night, climb the stairs to the first floor and prepare for bed with a luxurious soak in the family bathroom, stylishly adorned with marble tiles, or if you’d prefer, make use of the overhead shower to wash away the day. When your eyes grow heavy, you’re spoilt for choice between three well-presented bedrooms, one kingsize with the added benefit of it’s own en-suite, one double and a twin (which can be converted to a superking), each offering a smart television so you can drift off to the sound of your favourite movie. Take a break from doing the cooking and wander into the heart of the village to treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at the local village pub, The White Horse Inn, and if you time it right, you might even catch a spot of live music. Jump in the car and take the scenic drive to the nearby town of Bridlington where you’ll find a wide variety of amenities; here you can watch the waves crash on the shore, indulge in fresh Bridlington Bay crab or lobster or pick up some ingredients from the many well-stocked stores and supermarkets to prepare a delicious meal from the comfort of your holiday home. With miles of glorious golden sand decorating the coastline, you’re in the perfect place for a beach day, so be sure to pack your bucket and spade and head to one of the many beaches in the area such as Reighton Gap, Hunmanby gap, Bridlington and Fraisthorpe where you can look forward to paddling the shores, basking in the sun and sand, or building sandcastles with the little ones. Whilst you are in the area be sure to visit the nearby Sewerby Hall and Gardens.
