We had a lovely week in Ivy Cottage - its a great location and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. All the equipment you need for a self-catering holiday is there but you will need to take your own cooking oil, washing up liquid, tea towels etc. Our dogs enjoyed the space to run around - the garden is huge but only the front garden is fully enclosed.

We had so much fun here and made some wonderful memories. It is a beautiful period cottage steeped in history and I love how the decor has been sympathetic to the cottages past. We loved the pictures of the former inhabitants on the walls and the pamphlet explaining the history of the cottage, we went out and found the mass grave of the victims of Read morethe christmas tragedy in 1833 and this for us added to the experience. Some nice biccies and tea was waiting for us on arrival which was a nice touch Hide

Weve had a wonderful time at the Ivy cottage which was very good equipped and clean and cosy. We loved the garden and the quite surroundings. The bus station to York is only 1 minute to walk.

A comfortable well equipped house, fantastic views over the green I enjoyed watching a snowy owl swooping for prey not to mention the swifts in the evening. The chiming church clock was such a part of rural living. Other villagers we met during our stay were so friendly and helpful, such a shame that the local pub is no more So much country walkingRead more around the village area. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in future. This was our first visit to Stillingfleet, which didn't disappoint. A lovely cottage in a great location.

A beautiful old cottage set in wonderful gardens. We stayed with our 7 year old, my husband's parents and our dog, and it could not have been more perfect. Spacious comfortable and quiet. Really well equipped kitchen. We walked to Riccall, Kelfield and Cawood, and found pubs in Riccall and Cawood. We drove to Naburn which also has a nice pub. NaburRead moren is a similar distance to the other villages, but unfortunately no way to walk. Lack of local footpaths is a problem for keen walkers. Hide
