The Stables: A Spacious Single-Storey Holiday Cottage near York
The Stables is a four-bedroom North Yorkshire holiday cottage with every room on the ground floor. Sleeping up to 10 guests, or 12 including a sofa bed, it is a practical and comfortable choice for multi-generational families, friendship groups and guests who prefer accommodation without stairs.
Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the cottage plenty of character, while the large enclosed garden, private hot tub and parking directly beside the property make everyday group life simple. Open south-west views bring the countryside to the door.

BIRDFORTH HALL COTTAGES
All the Accommodation on One Level
The Stables is Birdforth Hall's single-storey cottage. Public rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms are all on the ground floor, and parking is immediately adjacent with space for several cars.
That layout can make a real difference for mixed-age family groups and anyone who prefers to avoid stairs. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and includes a double sofa bed, which increases the maximum occupancy from 10 to 12.
Single storey does not automatically mean that every facility will suit every access need. Please talk to Sue before booking if door widths, bathroom fittings, thresholds or other details are important for a member of your group.
Perfect for Families & Friends
Space to Gather Beneath Vaulted Ceilings
Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams run through the cottage, creating light, generous rooms with a sense of the building's original character. The living areas are arranged for easy group time, whether you are planning a family meal, an afternoon with the children or a quiet evening around the log burner.
Four bedrooms and three bathrooms give the group useful flexibility, including two en-suite bedrooms. Travel cots, highchairs, a baby bath and changing mats can be provided for younger guests.

An Enclosed Garden for Children and Dogs
The large lawned garden is fully enclosed and surrounded by hedges, offering privacy and a secure outdoor space for children and well-behaved dogs. Doors from the lounge lead directly to the garden and private hot tub.
With open views to the south west, the garden catches the evening light and is a lovely place for drinks, outdoor food and time together after a day exploring North Yorkshire.

Pool Time and Onsite Activities
The Stables guests have shared use of the heated indoor swimming pool, with sessions arranged on a rota basis. There is also a pool table, table tennis and the Birdforth Hall Pizza Shack, so a rainy day or relaxed evening still has plenty of options.
Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional charge. The nearby fields are home to Birdforth Hall's long-horn cattle, so dogs should be kept under control around livestock.
Village Charm
A Rural Base Close to York
The Stables is set between York and Thirsk, around 20 minutes north of York and close to Easingwold. It gives families and groups an easy base for the city, Herriot Country and wider North Yorkshire, with ample parking when you return.
For many guests, the best days include a mix: a morning out, an afternoon pool session and an evening in the hot tub while the countryside quietens around the cottage.
