Bolton Percy Gatehouse, Bolton Percy

Share a slice of happiness with your special one at this enchanting 15th-century, Grade II-listed gatehouse located in the idyllic village of Bolton Percy. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it’s an ideal accommodation choice for couples dreaming of a truly unique place to call home during a romantic break in North Yorkshire together. During the day, lose yourself in the charm of The Shambles - a picturesque street lined with timber-framed buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. In the evening, come home to your quirky cottage’s garden and enjoy a tranquil al fresco dinner on the wonderful deck. Enter through the striking wooden doors into the bright and welcoming kitchen and you'll get your first glimpse of the beautiful, vaulted ceiling that's featured throughout this period home. Head up to the first floor and you'll find an impressive, beamed layout in the open-plan lounge/diner/sleeping area. Slip into a sofa and take a moment to make yourself at home in the lounge before heading back downstairs to the well-appointed kitchen to whip up a romantic meal for two. Enjoy an intimate dinner at the rustic dining table in front of the feature window, or head out onto the deck to dine alfresco. After dinner, spend a little time snuggling in front of the TV before retiring to the colourful, four-poster super-king-size bed in the sleeping area. Downstairs, a convenient shower room completes the layout. History buffs will love wandering through the Yorkshire Museum (10 miles), which houses archaeological treasures, Roman artifacts and exhibits on natural history. Alternatively, delve into the wonder of York Minster (10 miles) – one of England’s most beautiful Gothic cathedrals. Admire its intricate stained glass windows and climb up the tower to see the entire city of York beneath you.
