This recently renovated cottage is in a block of six lovely cottages which used to house the old stables for the village manor. You will have exclusive use of the cottage for the duration of your stay. The renovation of the cottages has been done with your comfort and enjoyment in mind. You can expect lots of character and luxury finishes with contemporary decoration. There is a Smart TV for cosy nights in, access to WiFi as well as iPod docking speakers. The cottage has two really comfortable bedrooms designed for a peaceful nights sleep - leaving you refreshed and ready for a day of exploring either the local countryside or the historic city of York
The walk to York, through the parks, alongside the river is idyllic and takes approx. 40 minutes. The cottage, set in this quiet and tranquil location is a hidden gem on the outskirts of town. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and families alike.
Parking for 1 car available onsite. Please note the EV charger is a 3 pin version so you would need the correct cable for this.

A beautiful cosy cottage!

A perfect base just outside of the city. The cottage felt homely, was beautifully decorated and exceeded our expectations. We wished we had booked a longer stay!
Quiet and peaceful
10 September 2024
I like staying here when I want self catering with secure parking but I think it would benefit from better housekeeping sometimes. I think it needs heating more generously as the seasons change. The welcome pack is very meagre and full of plastic milk sachets and plastic wrapped biscuits. It used to be significantly better with chocolate, tea, coffee etc. The wifi is good.
Stay at Middlethorpe Cottages No 1
4 September 2024
This is our third visit to Middlethorpe Manor Cottages -No.1. First class accommodation and location. Only slight niggle was the TV had problems with some of the channels breaking up due to aerial problems/connection. (a aerial booster would help).
Comfortable, clean & great location
28 August 2024
Our 2nd visit to this house which is ideal for a quiet York visit and great for racegoers as its a short walk alongside the track itself down to the racecourse entrance. Three good pubs in walking distance in Bishopsthorpe add to the experience. The house itself is very clean & tidy with a welcome pack on arrival and everything you need for the stay. Easy arrival & departure, only thing was I couldnt find a shaving point, may just be me but worth bearing in mind. Would happily book again
A lovely cottage
10 July 2024
This is the second time Ive stayed in this property. Its in a lovely quiet location on the edge of York. Theres easy access with a bus stop at the end of the drive. Very comfortable and well equipped for self catering. The bathroom tile grouting need a good clean and the shower seal was mouldy and needs replacing,otherwise no real complaints. I would definitely stay here again. Mark
Beautiful location
19 June 2024
The property is in a beautiful location, just hearing birdsong in the morning started the day perfectly. The property its self is comfortable particularly the downstairs, the bedrooms are very small and the hall would benefit from a curtain as it is very open. On two days there was a strong smell of drains (which I noticed another review mentioned). We have stayed in other StaysYork properties and in comparison the welcome pack at Middlethorpe was very poor. However, we would consider staying again.
Brilliant stay at middlethorpe Manor cottage

Clear information given which made arrival easy. Property was well equipped - the box of games was especially welcome. Plenty of space.

We loved our stay at Middlethorpe Manor; it was perfect for our short visit to York. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but easily walkable (public transport stops near by also). A cosy space with everything we needed - we would happily book again!
Handy and comfortable
24 December 2023
Have stayed here before- as usual it was clean and ready for us. Very comfortable and handy for where we needed to be.
A Great Weekend
1 November 2023
A fantastic off the road location which was both quiet yet still conveniently close to York, literally a ten minute drive away. Our cottage (No. 1) had it's own private back yard, open plan living room and kitchen, two bathrooms and bedrooms with a spacious hallway. A hassle free perfect weekend. Would definitely use again.
Might need a bit of a clean
29 September 2023
The place is very handy and I like it but Ive stayed a lot of times and gradually noticed the deterioration in the maintenance and housekeeping unfortunately. Its not a huge thing but finding other peoples used towels, crumbs, dirty plug holes and grout, bathroom toiletries empty (again!!) is getting annoying as the price hasnt come down. There is a large wall stain in the upper hallway, the bathroom tap isnt fixed in place, the shower screen is a bit grubby. The welcome hamper used to be great but its just cheap biscuits and a few tea, coffee and milk sachets. A simple pint of milk would be much appreciated and probably involve less plastic waste. Curtain in hall would be great too. Its a big window and not private. Im a big fan of the place but its getting expensive so standards need to be better.
Handy place to stay
23 August 2023
Great place to stay, has almost everything we needed (no colander/sieve!). Comfortable and cosy- have also stayed here in winter so know its warm- and easy to access York and beyond.
Disappointed
11 July 2023
On first arrival the cottages were beautiful. Walking into number 1, we also all thought it was beautiful! However, looking around, there were a lot of cobwebs in the corners of the room and spiders. I had to go round with a cloth and wipe them away. Then as the night went on, the stench of sewage coming from the hallway wasnt pleasant! (This stench also stayed for the whole weekend) The next day, we all wanted showers, however the showers temperature couldnt be changed, so we had to have a scolding red hot shower at the hottest temperature! To top it off, the bathroom blind was smothered in mould. A lovely cottage with a lot of potential but needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Disgruntled we paid more for this cottage also!
Middlethorpe Manor Cottages - No1
22 June 2023
This was our second stay in this cottage, so we knew what to expect-excellent accommodation. We had a slight problem with the TV which was resolved on the same day. Loved our stay.
A lovely little cottage
11 May 2023
No 1 was a lovely little cottage on the edge of York. Well equipped for self catering, maybe a few more knives and forks and a colander would be helpful. You can walk to the city centre about 2 miles but there is a bus stop at the end of the drive.You can also cross the road into the race course where there are some nice walks. The internet was good and free movie channels a nice touch.The shower was quite difficult to get other than very hot. We stay in York at least once a year , I would definitely consider staying in No1 again.

| our stay was absolutely amazing. The cottage was quant and modern. there was a lot of room and I would honestly come back there again and again. the property is quiet and peaceful. it is quite close to the city centre but also far enough away that you got no noise pollution. there was only one negative for me and this has nothing to do with the property or the host but more the other guests that were staying there as they could not park their cars to save their lives and took up 2 parking spots so that I had to park my car far away on the grass but again not really the hosts issue. thank you for the beautiful stay and we will definitely be back. PS: my daughter of 7 wanted to sell out house and move their permanently |
A quiet Country Cottage
2 October 2022
6 Cottages ex Stables, beautifully converted, situated alongside Middlethorpe Hall, once an upmarket Night Club/Restaurant, now a hotel. Peace and quiet guaranteed. Close to York racecourse and Bishopthorpe village for shops and Pubs, York City centre a short drive away. What let Cottage Nos.1 down was it needed cleaning from floor to ceiling, Cobwebs in most rooms, leather bedhead thick with dust, among other things. Two items of dirty clothing were found behind each of two bedroom doors. We reported these issues and we were told they would be looked into when we vacated the Cottage. We hope they do!!
Middlethorpe Manor Cottages No. 1 Short sta for futurey
12 August 2022
We had a 3 night stay at this wonderful accommodation. Great location easy access to York. Spotless and very comfortable. The property is set in lovely private grounds. We would have no hesitation in trying to book the accommodation for future visits.
Excellent customer service from Stays
26 July 2022
Cottage was not for us but in a great location. The customer service from Chris and team was excellent as always. Chris very quickly dealt with changes to our booking. We have booked through Stays a few times and always very satisfied with friendly service and quality of properties.
Excellent stay
20 April 2022
Immaculate, comfortable, relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photos on the website were a true image. I couldn't fault the accommodation. It was a little out of town but a lovely walk to get there and an adequate bus service 2 mins from the property.
Living in a quiet surrounding with easy access to York
12 April 2022
We spent a very good weekend here in a cosy cottage near York. The only issue was wifi which was poor. The cottage, however, is lovely and decorated to a high standard. Nice welcome hamper. So good to have a parking space at the front door. We would love to come back in summer.
Great find, so close to the York but in its own quiet hamlet.
18 March 2022
We absolutely loved our stay at No.1 Middlethorpe cottage, it was exactly what we were looking for. Such a lovely quiet, rural location but so close to the beautiful village of Bishopthorpe or a short bus ride or walk along the river to York. Very comfortable stay, welcome hamper was a nice touch, house had good amenities we will definitely stay again.
Nice for a weekend stay in York
26 January 2022
Originally booked into No 5 but got there to no heating or hot water- apparently the boiler is temperamental . Fortunately this was just before Stay York shut for the day and after a phone call we were quickly moved to No 1. Spacious and comfortable but looked like it had not been prepared for guests that weekend- all minor issues like no shower gel, no salt in salt pot, and bits of glitter on the floors. Be aware whilst there is wi-if it pretty poor. All that said we would be happy to use this cottage, or one of the others here, for a short visit David from Oxfordshire
Lovely cottage in an excellent location
22 December 2021
Having stayed here in a different cottage a couple of years ago our family and I were excited to return the weekend before Christmas as a special treat for my sons 15th birthday. Directions to and access to the cottages was simple and straight forward and the cottage was clean and perfect for our 2 night stay. We not hesitate to stay here again when we decide to explore York in the future.
Perfrct

We very much enjoyed our stay here, it was a last minute booking but it was just perfect for two couples.
Luxurious and convenient for York
28 October 2021
Beautiful, red brick cottage in secure, gated park. Modern and comfortable interior with a well-equipped kitchen and a little patio for use in good weather.
Lovely Location, Beautiful Property BUT ..
14 October 2021
We enjoyed our 4 day stay very much but required reasonable WiFi for work commitments. WiFi is beyond terrible, difficult to send/receive emails let alone access web. Poor EE service in location hence added need for functional WiFi. Also radiators need bleeding. Sounds like Niagara Falls when the heat comes on. These are both small issues which we hope the owners choose to correct quickly. Grab bar in the shower would be helpful as it is an awkward in/out and an accident waiting to happen. Otherwise well equipped, very comfortable and quiet.
