Blackcap in Huggate near Bishop Wilton | Must-See Vale of York Hot Tub Cottage

About Blackcap

Blackcap is a swanky single-story lodge in Fridaythorpe, East Riding of Yorkshire. Just 5 miles from Bishop Wilton and Pocklington, this sleek modern retreat sits near the North York Moors National Park. Perfect for couples who want countryside without sacrificing luxury. The pictures don't show all three cabins nearby but don't worry - privacy isn't an issue.

The setting is pure Yorkshire magic. Wildlife everywhere. Birds singing. Fields stretching to the horizon. Complete peace and quiet for proper unwinding. No traffic noise, just nature doing its thing. The garden's got a patio, lawn and outdoor furniture where you can sip wine while watching rabbits hop about. Fancy getting wet? The wood-fired hot tub waits for you. Nothing beats stargazing from bubbling water with a favourite drink.

Inside, the open-plan space feels bigger than it is. The kitchen has everything: electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and wine cooler (priorities!). The double bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. Heated towel rail too - small touch but makes all the difference after hot tub shenanigans.

York's just 14 miles away with its famous Minster, National Railway Museum and Jorvik Viking Centre (25 minute drive). Shop and pub only 1.6 miles from your door. Bishop Wilton offers quaint village charm (5 miles). Pocklington provides more shops and eateries (5 miles).

Blackcap delivers high-spec luxury in miniature. Perfect for couples needing to reconnect. The owners are helpful without being nosy. They've thought of everything - even coffee for the machine. Book it before someone else does.

Is Blackcap Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Blackcap is primarily designed as a couple's retreat and may not be ideal for children. The unfenced pond requires constant supervision, making it potentially hazardous. There's limited space with just one bedroom. While the garden offers some outdoor play space, there are no specific child-friendly amenities. Families with older children might consider booking with the adjoining properties.

For Couples

Blackcap is built for romance. The wood-fired hot tub under starry Yorkshire skies sets the mood perfectly. The single bedroom with luxury en-suite bathroom ensures privacy. The open-plan living space creates intimacy while cooking together. Peaceful surroundings mean no distractions. Walking paths from the door offer hand-in-hand strolls. York's romantic restaurants are just 25 minutes away.

Pet Friendly

If you're traveling with animals, you'll need to look for alternative accommodation in the area that specifically welcomes four-legged guests.

An Unforgettable Stay at Blackcap Cottage 5 Stars! I would give more if I could Weve stayed in many cottages over the years, but Blackcap Cottage truly stands out as one of the very best. From the moment we arrived, Rob made us feel incredibly welcome. Hes such a kind, thoughtful host the sort who goes the extra mile without even being asked. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and beautifully presented, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. And the woodfired hot tub? Absolutely out of this world. Sitting under the stars in the warm bubbling water, it was pure magic. We also fell in love with the resident guinea fowl so adorable and full of character! It added such a lovely, quirky charm to the place. Blackcap Cottage is a peaceful, highquality retreat in a stunning setting. Weve stayed at a lot of properties over the years, but this one truly captured our hearts. Were already planning our return and we cant wait!

Lovely place to stay. We would definitely go back if we wanted to holiday in that area. Nice thick bedroom curtains however not blackout so we got woken up very early by the sun. No dressing table, so had to sit up the dining room table to do hair and make up with no mirror. However loved the little touches of a little basket full of bits in the kitchen, games and puzzles under the table. Hot tub was amazing and we enjoyed it every evening. Great kitchen. Just great overall x

A very relaxing place to stay. Few minor things like hooks on back of bathroom door, and a dressing table with mirror. Lovely to see all the wild life that came to visit i.e. hares, rabbits, pheasants, birds of prey, moor hen, house martins, swifts, not to mention the very entertaining guinea fowl. Hot tub great, but need an extra step and hand rail if you are not over 5 foot tall. All in all a lovely place to stay.

Andrew

Second stay at blackcap. Looking to book again for next year already. Fantastic stay, lovely property great location convenient for York park and ride and also the coast. Property has everything needed and was very clean.

Fabulous break away. Nice little touches. Property was amazing. Everything you needed. Would definitely recommend.

This was our second visit to Blackcap and it was as enjoyable as our first visit back in March. The vibe here is one of complete peace and tranquility. If you want to get away from it all, Blackcap has everything you need for a completely non stressful stay. There is a petrol station a couple of miles away in Fridaythorpe that has all the essentials should you run out of anything. My partner and I have also booked to stay for 7 nights in August and also for the New Year, it really has become a very special place for us and I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you want a truly relaxing break away! We cant get enough of Blackcap. See you in August!

Excellent accommodation. Everything was provided and a few extras on top which we appreciated. Lovely nature observed from the door step. 10 out of 10 place to stay. Thank you

Fantastic long weekend stay for my partners 30th birthday lovely lodge in a nice peaceful area with amazing views. Everything I could have asked for and more. Rob messaged before arriving to ensure the Hot tub was ready for our arrival. Will deffo be returning and recommending to friends and family. Thank you

What can I say about this place it exceeded so many expectations. It provided not just a relaxing retreat, but everything within the lodge was done to such a high specification. The hot tub was amazing and the grounds are simply beautiful, My partner and I have already booked again for a long weekend in May. A really special place and cannot wait for our second visit, Thanks to the owner for the communication prior to our stay. I cannot recommend enough.

Dennis

This was a perfect getaway to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. Rob was such an amazing host, messaged before me we left London to ensure the hot tub would be ready for us on arrival. They have a lovely welcome hamper and overall very clean, peaceful and private. Ill definitely be booking again!

We visited for my partners birthday celebration blackcap was amazing, a truly beautiful and scenic area, and the cabin was immaculate. Hot tub was lit ready for our arrival, which included bubbles and lights.

We had the best time here at Blackcap and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet and peaceful area with some animals from the local farm and beautiful birds that came to visit most days.

Me and the Mrs had a wonderful stay the cabin was really nice inside and out and loved seeing the guinea fowl, the weather wasnt on our side but still had a great time will be recommending it to our friends back home and hope to be back in the Summer

Beverley

Great cottage, loved the location. Great spot for a weekend of walking and relaxing.

An amazing stay in a beautiful place. The lodge was excellent and had everything we could have needed. It was immaculately clean and very well resourced. Located in a perfect area to explore North Yorkshire. Rob was very welcoming and had the hot tub ready for our arrival. We 100 recommend this lodge for a lovely stay. We will be recommending and back ourselves! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Connor

Me and my girlfriend have recently returned from Blackcap following a stay for ... Me and my girlfriend have recently returned from Blackcap following a stay for our 1 year anniversary and we both found it absolutely faultless, one minor gripe that we both havehad is that oven gloves and tea towels could be provided for the kitchenette, this aside we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the pheasants, guinea fowl and other local wildlife poking about near the premises gave a lovely rural touch to a modern countryside retreat both already looking to book again for next year

Robert

The owners were great there if required and never intrusive. All was very clean hot was excellent plenty of supplies to keep you going only problem was the weather. Only fault was the shower in the bathroom as this could not be used as this flooded the lodge as we found out first time used and only time used this needs sorting urgently. This is the only problem and did not spoil our stay which was great and would stay again.

This property is an absolute gem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The owners were very informative and provided everything we needed during our stay. We really appreciated the extra effort of getting the hot tub ready and heated prior to our arrival. The lodge was fantastic! Beautifully presented, clean and honestly a perfect place for a short getaway. 5 Would definitely recommend. We will definitely be back.

Oliver

Property was fantastic we had an amazing time and the owners were super helpful. The property has been done to an extremely high standard and had everything we needed. The setting was incredible. Bed and furniture were extremely comfortable. One thing to note and one ask the hot tub was heated by a woodfired stove takes 13 hours to heat up which was fun but my wife said she wouldnt want to do that on her own the owners do offer their support. The towels were lovely, but the big towels 1 each were too small for a 5 property with a hot tub. Would be great to either get some bigger ones, or have 2 each, in the future. A final tip Im sure this is obvious but bring a bathrobe for the hot tub we didnt expect them to be provided, but one we took with us was really handy for hot tub.

Michael

Perfect home away from home, the Lodge had everything we needed. Amazing location, we went on some lovely walks. Very private, surrounded by nature. Thank you very much to the hosts, we loved it!

Beautiful weekend Great communication with the owner checking if we would be ... Beautiful weekend Great communication with the owner checking if we would be needing the hot tub on the night of arrival Beautiful lodge absolutely spotless everything you could need great location will definitely be returning and definitely recommend Thanks Dave & El

What a lovely little gem this place is ! Firstly we was greeted by Becca who explained all you needed to know about the lodge and was very welcoming and then left us to it for the remaining stay. It had everything you needed in the lodge and very clean and also the bed was very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful and very peaceful with lots of wildlife to watch through your windows. You are very central to visit York or the coast so lots to do and also theres a local garage that sells more or less everything if you need anything. I would highly recommend and will be returning in the near future

Andrew

Lovely clean and modern property, in an excellent location for both York city centre and the coast. Owners where very helpful, not intrusive, but there if needed . Would definitely stay again.

Rebecca

Excellent stay! Owners made us feel so welcome and were really friendly! Very clean and private. Closer then we thought to the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend! Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Jennifer

A fabulous property in a beautiful peaceful setting. A great place for a relaxing break surrounded by nature.

Aerron

Beautiful space with view over the garden. great for bird watchers in the garden and out in the wolds. The hot tub was easy to get the fire going and much needed after long walks. Lots to explore straight from the front door, This is our second study at the Black Cap, we will be back.

Stuart

Amazing stay, the pictures don't show 3 cabins together but still very private, we had an amazing weekend. Everything thought off down to coffee for the machine and a bottle of milk we will be staying again

Michael

I would recommend Blackcap as a holiday destination. Modern comfortable and well situated. A choice of lovely walks can be accessed from the accommodation without jumping in the car. York can easily be accessed by the park and ride. Would like to return someday. Mick & Joy

A wonderful, extremely clean, comfortable stay in a modern but with traditional accents lodge. If staying in this area then you couldn't do better.

Sophie

I and my partner stayed here the weekend before valentines to celebrate valentines and my birthday. We were more than happy with our choice of stay. We travelled up after work when there was a warning out for bad driving conditions including fog. We got lost, and it was no problem that we rang the farmer at 1900pm he was happy to direct via phone. Very friendly couple who live here and no question was inconvenient. We had an amazing time here and the lodge! No words. Absolutely stunning. Look out for the adorable working dog there.. and be sure to get some cuddles. We will definitely be back.

Absolutely gorgeous stay! Property was beautifully kept and very clean! Situated in a gorgeous location with amazing views and wildlife all around. The property owners were fantastic, so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. They were above and beyond! Definitely be back highly recommend.

Savannah

We had a lovely time here for my partners birthday. This place had everything we needed and was absolutely perfect, all kitchen bits were supplied so we could cook and the owners were kind enough to leave us a bottle of Prosecco, milk 100 needed for a tea and a hamper basket. Thank you for a lovely stay.
