About this house rental
Brecks Farm
Once a working farm and livery, Brecks Farm has been lovingly transformed by owners Guy and Tracey into a charming collection of five beautifully appointed holiday cottages. Combining rural character with modern comfort, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay.
Drawing on his background as a skilled joiner, Guy has handcrafted many of the property's unique features, including the stunning bespoke headboards found in the master bedrooms. These thoughtful touches can be seen throughout the cottages, adding warmth, character, and a true sense of craftsmanship to each home.
The Cow Kennels
The Cow Kennels is a spacious and stylish single-storey cottage, perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends looking to explore the historic City of York and the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Accommodating up to six guests with the addition of a sofa bed in the lounge, this welcoming property offers everything needed for a comfortable getaway.
At the heart of the cottage is a generous open-plan living area, providing the perfect space to relax after a day of sightseeing. The well-equipped kitchen includes everything you'll need to prepare anything from hearty breakfasts to special holiday meals.
The property features two luxurious bedrooms, both of which can be configured as either twin beds or exceptionally comfortable super king-size beds, offering flexibility for a variety of group arrangements. There are also two modern bathrooms: one with a walk-in shower and the other with a bath and shower over.
Step outside and enjoy your own private outdoor space, complete with comfortable seating, a dining table and chairs, and a charcoal barbecue- ideal for al fresco dining on warm Yorkshire evenings.

We stayed at Cow Kennels for a long weekend. The accommodation was excellent, as was the location. Great place for the dog, with plenty of options to walk locally. Very close to and easy to access York. Guy and Tracey were fabulous hosts; their personal touch made such a difference.

We had an amazing stay at Brecks Farm in The Cow Kennel, whilst visiting York for the Xmas market. The accommodation was spotless and warm, the beds comfortable and the kitchen well kitted out. There was even a Xmas tree set up. The drive into York was 10 mins and we found no issue with parking however if you prefer the park and ride is only a short drive away.
