The light-filled lounge is a cosy space to relax in, complete with Smart TV and plenty of comfortable seating. A Juliet balcony offers charming views out across the gardens of the manor house. There's also a welcoming and ideally situated dining area, and the stylish bespoke kitchen features a marble worktop and is fully equipped with everything you may need to prepare a lovely romantic meal. Returning to the ground floor you will find the generous bedroom which features oak floorboards, TV  and a striking Four-poster bed. There is also an en-suite shower room with a shower, heated floors and WC.

Willoughbys Loft is a brilliant find. We loved the inverted accommodation with the bedroom and bathroom downstairs and the kitchen and living accommodation upstairs, affording a view of the garden. So quiet and tucked away in beautiful countryside yet so near York and convenient for many other places of interest. Its beautifully modern, clean lightRead more and airy with a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed. Hide
