Cottage holiday rentals in Howsham

We had a fantastic stay at Tim’s place! The location was perfect – just around the corner from local amenities and right in the heart of town. It was also only about 10 minutes to the forest and around 30 minutes to Whitby, which made day trips really easy. The hot tub was spotless and ready to use as soon as we arrived, and we were greeted with a lovely bottle of Prosecco – such a thoughtful touch. Tim was an incredibly responsive and understanding host throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back in the future

3 Railway Cottage is a fantastic base to explore the amazing beauty of North Yorkshire. The cottage is located a 20 minute walk from the centre of Pickering but is in a really quiet and private location. The only exception of course is the opportunity to wave at the heritage railway trains that pass at the back of the cottage a few times a day which is really amazing, especially if you wave from the comfort of the hot tub! I can’t recommend this location highly enough, it is a really comfortable and well equipped cottage in a fantastic location - what more could you ask for?

We have just had a fantastic stay at The Lamp Post. We were absolutely blown away by the accommodation. Steve and Andrea have thought of absolutely everything. The whole place is luxury and pristine. The hot tub is so easy to use and definitely an extra added bonus to what is a beautiful place to stay. Thank you so much - we will definitely be returning!

We had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights. It was beautifully clean and had everything and more we needed. Such lovely hosts, very responsive should you need them. Great location! Such an easy drive to a lot of places. We visited Whitby, Scarborough, Pickering, Thornton Le Dale and more! All under 1 hours drive away. Cottage is so homely and very welcoming 😊 Amazing that each room has their own en-suite. Beds are so comfy! Downstairs bedroom was great for us with someone in the party having mobility issues. Games room is a fabulous touch! Sauna and hot tub both very clean. Highly recommend to stay here. Thanks for a wonderful stay 🥰

Really enjoyable stay. Everything was perfect, and I would return if I were back in the area. The location was peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful nature — exactly what I was hoping for. The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

Lovely relaxing cottage with everything we needed. Very cosy and relaxing setting with great views from back windows. Enclosed garden for dog or children. Hot tub was a great perk which was well used by us. Rillington village within 10 min walk which had a small shop and a nice pub ( the fleece). Tips for other travellers The fleece in rillington has a nice garden of weather nice and the food was nice too and dog friendly Ham and cheese which is a 5 minute drive the food was very good and dog friendly too although probably too far to walk Lots of walks nearby, we went to dalby Forrest, mallyham spout in goathland and Levisham near Pickering New Connie’s Chinese in malton was also very good

Amazing house absolutely lovely area and just gorgeous I had the best time xx

We had a great 2 night stay at pond cottage. There is lots of room for 4 people both within the house and outside. The hot tub and seating area were a highlight that we utilised for most of our stay as the weather was perfect! Henry and Jane were great hosts providing good instructions, a warm welcome and a few generous gifts aswell. Just worth noting to enter the what3words co-ordinates into the Sat nav to get the right place.

Beautiful cottage a real home from home with everything we needed and more. Great location with lots to do.

Had a great stay at the bungalow. It was well equipped and the outside area was lovely to sit in and was secure for our Dog to go out in. Great location in a quiet beautiful area where you could sit and relax in the garden. We enjoyed the beautiful walks Rebecca had suggested by the river and in the woods. Also enjoyed visiting Beningbrough national trust which was round the corner. Rebecca made us very welcome with treats on our arrival for both us and Honey, she gave us very clear guidance on everything we needed to know and directions prior to our arrival. She also gave us great, clear information for Honey as well as recommendations for walks and dog friendly pubs/restaurants. We will definitely be returning for another visit in the future.

The Longhouse was exactly as described and pictured. Everything was spotlessly clean, beds comfortable, and rooms having great character. Easy check in and welcome from Gill and easy check out. A very easy walk into Pickering, and easy parking for our cars across the road (with one parked behind the cottage). Plenty of room for our three generations to have their own space.

We are a family of 3 generations and the property suited us perfectly. Excellent location for Ampleforth College and beyond. Helmsley Pickering and further afield. Very easy to communicate with Marian who gets straight back to you when contacted. An excellent property and lovely and warm in winter. Good parking space directly outside the property.

We had a lovely time, explored the local village, as well as short car drives to Helmsley and Thirsk. The cottage was spotless, with comfortable beds, quality bedding and extremely well equipped kitchen. A peaceful garden with fabulous views. We enjoyed caring for the chickens who rewarded us with eggs. Thank you Faron.

We had a lovely time at Fuschia Cottage. It felt welcoming and cosy. Everywhere was clean and tidy. The kitchen was well equipped and the milk, tea and coffee were welcome. Maybe the addition of some salt and pepper would be good but this is the only suggestion. Kirkbymoorside is very well placed for the coast and the North York Moors. Overall a fantastic stay. We will be back, Im sure.

Skylark cottage is in a lovely spot, a perfect retreat from busy life and a really calming space inside and out. It was spotless, cosy and well equipped. The newly created wood was a joy to walk through and our dog loved it here too!

What a fantastic little cottage, perfect for a weekend away. Lovely hosts and perfect location for exploring Yorkshire, we would definitely recommend and hope to visit again sometime.

The Spinney is a cosy comfortable cottage and is well equipped. The location is in beautiful countryside and ideal for a peaceful relaxing getaway. Micheal is a lovely Host and made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and he was always interested in our adventures. Both he and Caroline were so friendly and helpful. A wonderful place to stay.

We had the most wonderful stay. We searched many airbnbs and were really taken by the peaceful location, and the quality and care that was put into making it a 5* experience. It was importantly very clean, we had a lovely welcome basket, and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. We would def stay again xx

We have thoroughly enjoyed an all too brief, relaxing stay at Tarrs Yard. From entering the charming cottage, to leaving, one can't fail to be impressed by all that Lizzie and Andy have so stylishly created. The helpful, informative folder inside the cottage provides for guests' range of interests and enables visitors to capitalise on the hosts' wealth of knowledge and experience of the area. We can't wait to return and anticipate discovering more of what this area affords, whilst assured of a restful, peaceful property to daily return to. Thank you to you both for our introduction to North Yorkshire.

Great location on the lock. lovely views out of all the windows. very peaceful and relaxing. Not far from the Designer Outlet and the P&R is very easy to use. Enjoyed a visit to the nearby Air Museum where there is lots to see. A very enjoyable weekend

Wow. What a beautiful place to spend the Easter weekend. Sarah’s place is a home from home. It has everything you need to enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the surrounding area. Milk, eggs (chocolate too!) were here when we arrived, a lovely touch. The house was sparkling clean and bigger than the photos show. The pub across the road is ideal for a drink and top notch pub grub. York is 30 minutes to the park and ride (definitely do this to save on expensive parking), but the beauty is the walks around the area. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for being a great host!

Hi Cath Thank you for a lovely stay in your gorgeous barn. It was perfect for our needs and we had a really lovely time at Bramham. Our horse did well cross country - clear over a big course, but he had 3 show jumps down - not his forte!! I hope your grand-daughter got to see him. We’ll definitely be back if we’re ever in the area again. Perhaps Bramham next year … Many thanks again. Our best wishes - Karen

My partner and I had a lovely weekend stay at the Teal Cottage. Cosy, relaxing, and perfect for a couples weekend away from the hustle and bustle. The Cottage is located less than 1 min walk away from Boroughbridge town with shops like bakeries, charity shops and even a little corner shop for all your necessities. York only a 40 min drive away, Ripon only 15 mins - there was plenty of local places to go. We will absolutely be staying again in the future.

Probably the nicest property I have stayed in at The Bay. Welcoming and homely as soon as we walked in. Immaculate and very well equipped. A lovely place to stay.
