Grooms Cottage is on a private estate right next to the ruins of Sheriff Hutton Castle. The property is in a peaceful setting but only two minutes walk away from the village pub and post office/general store.

Our cottage was completely renovated in 2021 and is in a great location for walkers, cyclists, and explorers. It’s about 10 miles from both York and Malton, Castle Howard is under 6 miles away, and the coast can be reached in under an hour.

The Ground floor and upstairs bathroom have underfloor heating. Radiators heat the carpeted bedrooms.

There is a removable gate on the door between the sitting room and utility so that dogs can be contained. A large dog mat is also provided.

Neighborhood highlights

Grooms Cottage is located in Sheriff Hutton on the edge of the Howardian Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty.

The property is on a private estate so there is little traffic and noise. The village post office and store, Quarmby’s cafe and delicatessen, and The Highwayman pub are a two minute walk away. There is a lovely circular walk directly outside the property that takes you around the perimeter of the privately owned 14th Century Castle and through the woods to the church where Richard III’s only son, Edward, is supposedly interred.

Castle Howard is a 10 minutes drive away. The centre of historic York can be reached in just over 20 minutes and the food capital of Yorkshire, Malton, is also close and worth a visit.
