Snaptrip says
Sunnyside Garden Cottage in York receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful village location. Guests appreciate the warm welcome, including a frequently mentioned delicious lemon drizzle cake. The cottage is well-equipped, with a smart TV and excellent Wi-Fi, and is conveniently situated for exploring the North York Moors and surrounding areas. The garden and nearby pub add to the charm, though the pub's closure was a slight disappointment for some.

The cottage's location is praised for its quiet village setting and proximity to York and the North York Moors. It is deemed an ideal base for touring Northern Yorkshire, though one guest noted it was remote from shopping and affordable food outlets.

The cottage is well-equipped with a smart TV, excellent Wi-Fi, and all the necessary amenities for a restful stay. However, a minor suggestion for a washing up bowl and rack indicates room for slight improvement.

Essentials provided on arrival and the owner's helpfulness also reflect considerate hospitality.
About this property
This fresh, well-appointed cottage is an annexe to the owner's home in the historic North Yorkshire village of Husthwaite. With the Howardian Hills and North York Moors close by, this cottage is perfect for a couple of walkers wanting to discover what these incredible areas have to offer. After an exhilarating day of exploring and venturing through the local area, curl up and watch the TV on the comfortable leather sofa which conveniently sits opposite the cottage's front door. The ground floor is occupied by a spacious open-plan living area, complete with a modern and well-equipped kitchen and a dining table set for four people, should you want to invite some friends over for dinner. The crisp, white first floor provides you with a homely bedroom, complete with stunning views of the surrounding countryside; the room boasts a twin bed which can be pushed together to make a super king-size double and a luscious en-suite shower room. In the sunny weather, sit out on the delightful lawn garden and enjoy a refreshing drink, accompanied by luscious, rural views. Husthwaite is an ideal, peaceful village to base your cottage holiday, offering a pub and a shop to buy your daily essentials. From here, you can either venture through the breath-taking Howardian Hills, which lie adjacent to Husthwaite, or you can discover the charming nearby towns and cities with their beautiful buildings and fine range of amenities, including the instantly recognisable, ancient city of York. Sunnyside Garden Cottage is a delightful annexe cottage in a desirable location for those keen to explore North Yorkshire.
The village of Husthwaite lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, overlooking the Vale of York. The village has a Norman church, old houses and a village hall hosting events. The market town of Easingwold is nearby, boasting a market square and a selection of shops, pubs and cafés. York is also a short drive away. The Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors and Coast are within distance and are rich in stately homes and National Trust attractions - Harewood House and Castle Howard are just two of several within an hour's drive.

Sunnyside was spotlessly clean. The telly was better than my elderly flat screen one ( I'm going to replace it now!). The garden was a haven of peace and tranquility. We slept well in the comfortable beds and it was lovely to hear a tawny owl at night. There are many books in the property great for reading outside on the little patio set provided. We breakfasted outside every day. Now for the best part...Loki! Loki is the owners young working cocker who fast became my little dogs best friend. Charlie has been quite bereft since his return home. We have promised him that this time next year we will return for a two week stay. Thank you Sue for providing such a comfortable and peaceful retreat to return to after a days sightseeing.

The owner and family live adjoining house, yet value privacy. â A positive reflectionâ, the garden is shown on pictures, is quirky and was particularly what I liked. There is parking space not shown on pictures. I would return, for the garden retreat . The cake is the best ! that the owner bakes.
