Station House is in a wonderful corner of North Yorkshire, with lovely views, fantastic walks and cycle rides and stunning stately homes and abbeys close by. A stream runs through the village. But best of all is a great pub serving award-winning food just over the road. Good for families and couples wanting to take time out to explore. York is 20 miles away, Helmsley is six miles away and the coast just a forty minute drive. Ampleforth Abbey is close by as is Castle Howard and Nunnington Hall.

I will arrange access with you in advance and will leave instructions about the house and the area. Either myself or a person responsible for the house can be available if needed.

Gilling East is a very pretty village on the lower reaches of the Ampleforth Valley. It's in an area of outstanding natural beauty and there's lots to do if you like the outdoors, gorgeous scenery and heritage-style attractions such as stately homes, abbeys and quaint villages. York is a 30 minute drive away and you can get to the coast in 40 minutes. One of the nicest things about the area is the food. There is a great pub in the village itself as well as well-known destination places such as the The Star Inn in Harome close by. One of our favourite places is the tearooms in Hovingham which we like to cycle to over the back lane. Ampleforth Abbey is interesting to look around, as are the lovely Byland and Rievaulx Abbeys. There are plenty of walks and cycle rides straight from our door. But if you want to go further afield you will need a car because there is no public transport. There is plenty of parking in the driveway to the front of the house.
