Old Malton is a small picturesque village, a pretty Yorkshire market town, located on the north of the River Derwent on the historic boundary between the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire. There are two pubs in the village where you can stroll to easily or if you fancy a bit more choice, potter off into the town. There is a famous food festival, monthly food market, Malton Cookery School, traditional food shops and artisan producers. It also has a large number of independent shops. There are so many country walks to enjoy throughout the area or can head to Pickering where you can catch a North York Railway steam train which will take you through to the pretty seaside town of Whitby.

Step inside this warm and cosy cottage and feel instantly at home, head through to the lounge, a really cosy place with a wood burner and Smart TV, ideal to curl up and watch a movie. If reading a book in peaceful surroundings is what you are after then this is the perfect spot. Step up into the kitchen, superbly equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. There is also a useful utility area with a washing machine. Gather at the breakfast table for mealtimes or head out to the garden via the boot room and dine in truly peaceful surroundings. There are two bedrooms to choose from, the super-king-size or a twin bedroom. Completing the property is the separate shower room, start your day with a refreshing shower and WC.

The garden is a real feature of the cottage, with a wooden summer house half way down the garden, a lovely quiet spot to read or enjoy your morning coffee. The garden is well stocked with shrubs and herbaceous borders and a little wildlife pond (children to be supervised at all times). With various spots to sit and while away the hours into the warm evenings and enjoy al fresco meals. The typical cottage-garden style planting provides a mix of fruit and flowers. It’s a true delight for those who enjoy a beautiful garden. It also has an external WC. There is roadside parking, subject to availability.

What a stunning cottage, very much a home from home feel with the welcome pack & pre holiday call from Kevin (the owner) had that extra personal touch & very much appreciated.

Lovely evenings spent as a family in the garden having BBQ's then later when cooler by the log fire in the lounge. RECOMMEND 100% loved it! Hide

Great holiday cottage, well placed for exploring the area. Although on a busy road we didnt find it a problem with noise etc. It is a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The garden is really nice and is dog friendly with plenty of places for them to safely explore. Everything you could want for your stay is in the cottage including a good Read morewelcome and information pack. The owner was also great, friendly and very helpful. Our only negative is that we didn't book for a longer stay. Hide

Dove Cottage was a real find and an absolutely delightful place to spend a few days. The cottage was exceptionally well-equipped and the owners had made every effort to ensure that all our needs were met and that our stay was as effortless and relaxing as we had hoped - and not just a one-off visit!

Beautiful cottage with a very generous welcome pack and really well equipped! Garden is a major attraction - a long narrow garden with surprises at each section and a lovely friendly horse in the field at the end. The location of the cottage for dog walking is excellent- walks by the river Derwent just over the road and lots of information for walkRead mores further afield in the cottage literature.

Very comfortable well equipped cottage. The garden was fascinating and as we had good weather we took full advantage of it. Great dog walks just a cross the road and easy access to local attractions. The only negative was the road noise as the cottage is on a busy main road, but this did not spoil our stay..
