Excellent base for the York Early Music Festival. Highlight was the Coronation music for 1597 with the Gabrieli Consort in the Minster. (Catch it on BBC sounds broadcast 13 July on R3) But! Also catch water lilies at Pocklington, walks out of Coneysthorpe and Malton town.

Another very enjoyable stay in this fine cottage/house. Many great walks and plenty of good food from Malton and Hovingham. A lovely place to spend the Platinum Jubilee. P.S. The Hovingham bakery in Hovingham is absolutely excellent for all sorts of bread, pastries they are all home made!

A lovely peaceful cottage in a beautiful location. We spent the week exploring North Yorkshire & enjoying beautiful sunny weather. We recommend Rievaux Abbey for it’s magical setting. Hovingham for lunch at The Park Café & dinner at The Hovingham Inn (I think they also serve Sunday lunch) P.S. we enjoyed the variety of birds on the fence, attracted by next doors bird feeder.
