Read More...Richard and Jane's beautiful home is full of character, we loved it! The house was well prepared and our hosts had thought of everything. The area has plenty to do and as well as York, our highlights were Newby Hall, Fountains Abbey and Harlow Carr. Thank you Richard and Jane for a very successful exchange.

Read More...Richard and Jane's house is very unusual, full of character, with spiral staircase and oak beams, whilst still being very comfortable. They made us feel very welcome, and were great guests in our home, watering our large garden daily in the heatwave. Many thanks! Their home is very convenient for York; we used the Park and Ride, which was vey easy and inexpensive. Loads of other places to visit in the area, but unfortunately we ran out of time. A great exchange!

Our home comprises of three bedrooms, two en-suite, and the third with adjoining bathroom and snug. There are three levels with the main living area situated in the middle. There is a large living room leading to a dining area and kitchen. There is also a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer on this floor. The house has a spiral staircase from top to bottom and would be unsuitable for very young children or anyone with mobility difficulties.

Beskrivelse av vårt nabolag og området rundt
Our neighbourhood is very quiet. We are ten miles from York, about twenty minutes from the city centre. The nearest shopping/dining is Easingwold, three miles away, a Georgian market town, which has a selection of shops, tea rooms and pubs. Alne, itself, has a very good gastro pub, The Bluebell. There are many villages in the area, most of which, sell locally produced meals.

Våre tips til steder å gå og ting å gjøre mens du bor i vårt hjem
From our house it is a twenty minute drive into the centre of York with all its famous attractions. There is a Park and Ride site for the city ten minutes away or a bus service stopping outside the house which goes into the city centre hourly. York is famed for its Minster, the largest Gothic Cathedral in Europe, The National Railway Museum, The Jorvik Viking Centre and the City Walls. There are many museums, theatres and a huge range of entertainment and leisure/dining and shopping opportunities.
The coast is just over an hour away over the North York Moors, passing through Helmsley and Pickering, on the way to resorts such as Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay. Harrogate and The Yorkshire Dales are half an hour to the West with Ilkley and Skipton about an hour away. For enthusiastic cyclists, bringing their own bikes, there are miles and miles of routes in the area. The majority of traffic passing our house in the Spring and Summer are cyclists.
There are a number of historic houses and gardens in the area, including Castle Howard, Newby Hall, Duncombe Park and Harewood House. The nearest National Trust property, Beningbrough Hall, is about four miles from our house. Nunnington Hall and Fountains Abbey are a short drive away. English Heritage properties include Helmsley Castle, Pickering Castle, Clifford's Tower, Rievaulx Abbey, Byland Abbey and Whitby Abbey.
