About Wayside Cottage

Wayside Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom holiday home set in the rural village of Hayton in East Yorkshire. This renovated farmhouse offers complete privacy with surrounding trees and ample outdoor space where wild rabbits and chickens might greet you upon arrival. The property sits on beautiful farmland with lovely views yet remains just 13 miles from historic York.

The cottage makes an ideal base for exploring Yorkshire's attractions. Perfectly positioned for day trips to York, Beverley and the coast, you'll find plenty to discover nearby. An hourly bus service stops just minutes away for car-free adventures. After a day out, relax in your private hot tub while enjoying countryside views - just watch out for the occasional road noise that the trees mostly shield you from.

Inside, you'll find three generous bedrooms: a super-king (zip/link for flexibility), a double with en-suite bath and another double. The ground-floor bathroom features a bath with shower over. The spacious kitchen/diner comes fully equipped with everything needed for self-catering, including dishwasher, washing machine and all modern appliances.

Visit Burnby Hall Gardens (nearby), explore York Minster (45 minutes), wander the Wolds Way, or enjoy a meal at the Chinese restaurant in The Plough Inn just across the road. Perfect for families or friends seeking a countryside retreat with modern comforts - the hot tub's always ready for that post-sightseeing soak!

Wayside Cottage consistently impresses guests with its cleanliness and thoughtful touches. The owner Mike even leaves cupcakes and milk as a welcome gift. Bigger than it appears in photos - like your house but with better views and a hot tub. What's not to love?

Darius

Very clean and lovely place to stay I would highly recommend

Justin

For a calming hah 4night escape with wife and 3 kids just before Christmas 2025, Wayside had a few tasteful festive decorations. The kids found and made the most of the chesschequers and bagatelle sets. Hot tub was excellent, lovely and warm, simple instructions on a plaque on the tub, and very soothing after long Christmas outings on foot. We would love to stay again.

Fabulous time for a group of 6 ladies at this property. It hit every requirement we had. The property is well sized with good outdoor space. It is private with nice high hedges and not overlooked. We have stayed in other properties which after arriving were found to have CCTV cameras which were not mentioned, this one did not not that we had anything to hide, it's just annoying when you don't know who is watching you, especially when there is a hot tub. Everybody in the group have agreed that we would be keen to return here. There are 2 supermarkets very close by too. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a washing machine, a drier and a dishwasher, great if you are there for a week. We took our own 3m x 3m pop up gazebo to put around the hot tub as the weather was poor and it worked really well. It would have been nice to have a tv in each bedroom but it wasn't a huge issue. We asked for the zip and link bed to be split into 2 beds and this was done for arrival. As previously mentioned we would definatly reccomend.

Darren

Fantastic stay at Wayside cottage. Pictures dont do it justice, it was very secluded, house is beautiful and couldn't fault it at all. Owner was very responsive when we had a question. Would definitely stay there again.

Graham

Really lovely cottage in a good location for visiting York. Great hot tub.

We had a fantastic weekend, lovely cottage, we would definitely stay again

Very enjoyable holiday. No neighbours as such. Very private and peaceful.

Wonderful cottage with fantastic hot tub. Loved the country walk to local pub. Great facilities in house excellent wifi and games. It was next to a busy road with some noise just to be aware but didnt spoil it.

The property was fantastic. Really clean and comfortable, the outside space was lovely and the hot tub was perfect. The cottage was spacious and well equipped and it was really nice to be surrounded by the fields. The caravan in the garden was also a lovely touch.

Jeff Lok Wah

We loved our time at Wayside Cottage. Big, bright and airy! Very clean throughout, plenty of parking, plenty of towels and fully equipped kitchen. It had wonderful views and lovely and quiet in the evenings. We didn't get to use the hot tub due to our busy schedule but an added bonus to the property.

Nathan

Another amazing visit to Wayside cottage. We have been a few times now, the reasons being it ticks all the boxes. Mike has always been helpful should any queries arise. Nice, secluded location. Comfortable and clean environment, hot tub! Its in an ideal location for visits to York or the surrounding areas towards the coast or moors.

Overall it was a lovely place. But had to clean all the dishes before we could use them. The oven smells when you use it and smoked from the fat that hadn't been cleaned from the previous people. The towels are past their best. The shower runs warm but then goes cold. But it is a lovely place. The shepherds hut is beautiful. On the whole it's a great stay and we never wanted to give any negative feedback

Wonderful place to stay, very home away from home, relatively comfy and lots of facilities to make life easier whilst away from home. Also on a good travel route

Nathan

As always, a great stay in a cottage that has everything we could need.

This is the third time weve stayed at this cottage and once again it was great. It is spacious and spotlessly clean. We love the fluffy towels provided for use with the hot tub. It has a new hot tub & We had a small issue with the controls but one call to the owner and he was straight round to sort it for us. Mike is so helpful and is on hand if you need anything. We will definitely be back soon.

Stephen

Very nice property well looked after. The property was spacious and close to Pocklington and York.There was an added bonus of the pub and restaurant being very close as well as other eateries being just down the road.We also enjoyed a walk down the nearby canal. The beds were very comfortable,maybe an additional shower in the on suite would be beneficial. All in all a great stay.

A really nice homely cottage, a little tired in places but this certainly didn't stop us having a great time. Cottage entrance is on a busy main road and could have been better marked especially in the dark. Hot tub was a real luxury.

Lovely property and host. Very warm and comfy house. Hot tub was the best one wev ever used. Lots of clean towels. Beds lovely and comfy nice new bedding. Kitchen everything you need a dish cloth might be helpful along with the sponge provided. Also think it would be a nice touch to have cooking oil, salt and pepper in the cupboard. Stair gate and baby high chair were great. I think a welcome book with WiFi, hot tub instructions, local pub restaurant open close times number and a little tourist info would be beneficial to others. The host was amazing and came and found us when we got lost and brought us back to the property. Thanks so much.

Property owner contacted us before we arrived to give directions and had stuck a balloon on a stick at the entrance to the drive so we could easily find it. Very helpful as it was off a busy A road.

Loved our stay at Wayside, just wish we had stayed longer, clean & comfortable, everything we could possibly need, all instructions clear, great hot tub feature, lovely area, great local pub we had a walk to with such lovely welcoming staff, everything was perfect, we will be back x

We loved the hot tub and the facilities at the cottage. The main road was quite noisy at times although it didnt affect much when inside the property it was noisy outside. It was a good location to allow opportunity to visit the seaside and York

Natalie

This is a lovely place & we had a fabulous catch up there. We will hopefully be returning. Pro's location lovely & quiet. Spacious, clean and plenty of household items to cook clean with. Hot tub was a The Shepherds hut is cute & the rabbits are fun to watch. Cons Signposting to the driveway from the busy dual carriageway massively needs attention. There were balloons there but the treeshedges need trimming & a larger sign is needed to make the turn more viable. We stayed on the windiest weekend for a while meaning the water in the hot tub was constantly getting cooled so it struggled to maintain temperature. An extension to the french providing a wind block would be very welcomed. Other places we stayed had a welcome pack with guides, instructions etc in there. I have only just found the Welcome email in my spam folder so we didn't know about the bed linen instructions. The above is for feedback only to make the cottage amazing we would return.

Carole

Had a wonderful stay at Wayside Cottage. We wanted to get the family together for a relaxing holiday and some sightseeing and Wayside ticked all the boxes. Its spacious and has the added bonus of a ground floor bedroom with bathroom next to it so was ideal for my daughter, son in law and their 3 year old. The Hot tub was used every evening by three of our group and was definitely a hit and the towels a nice touch. Its all in the description and it didnt disappoint. Even the sideboard drawer in the dining room had a nice selection of leaflets things to do etc. Finally a big thank you to the owner for spotting the set of keys that got left behind and forwarding them on. Would definitely recommend.

Rebecca

4th visit to Wayside Cottage. Amazing value for money. Always spotless, plenty of towels and linen. Love the hot tub. Location is perfect too. Definitely recommend.

Stayed here for February half term, initial thoughts were its very specious. Slightly quirky layout, the main bedroom is not the room with the ensuite, but all rooms were large and it was great to see the hot tub, warmed up ready for us when we arrived.

Pamela

This is a lovely spacious house, which is well equipped and very comfortable. The hot tub was great and the children loved the gypsy caravan. This was our second visit, and had a lovely weekend.

Kathryn

The place was really lovely thank you

Tiffany

Me and my good friend of 20 years spent the weekend at Wayside cottage to celebrate our milestone. It was lovely. The cottage is in such a beautiful location with good transport links. The cottage itself is cute and quirky and we had everything we needed. We didn't want to leave! We are already talking about returning!

Graham

Fantastic holiday home in a perfect location. Very clean and well equipped throughout. Truly a home from home. Highly recommended to all and the hot tub is just amazing. Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay.

Our third visit to Wayside cottage! We love it here! The cottage is spotlessly clean. Facilities are brilliant absolutely everything you could possibly need. We really feel it is a home from home. Beautiful land around the cottage. My Son even got a little tour around the farm to see the animals with the farmer and he was absolutely thrilled. Thank you for another great holiday

The whole family had an awesome stay at the wayside cottage, the location was great to commute to all the places of interest in Yorkshire and the house itself was lovely with amazing facilities. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Fabulous cottage, very private & spotlessly clean. Fantastic facilities, everything you need. Ive knocked my review down by one point because the beds are described as 1x super King and 2 x King, whereas they are actually 1x king and 2x double, so not quite as described & not what we were expecting. However, that did not distract from the beautiful setting and our fab stay. Excellent place to stay and fantastic service support from Mike, the owner.

Beautiful cottage, beautiful location, nice and clean. Lots of places to visit around lovely hot tub, a little road noise but not too bad later at night very relaxing stay

Wayside Cottage is a fantastic property. The pictures dont do the space justice! It is spacious, clean, comfortable and the hot tub is fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Wayside Cottage.

Rachel

Lovely cottage. Great location for a visit in York. Our children, especially loved seeing all of the wild rabbits in the adjoining field. Will definitely be returning.

Melenie

Another excellent relaxing stay. Fantastic property that feels like home as soon as you arrive. Great base as well to get around. Beverley and York to name a couple. Lovely to see the rabbits and a wander through the pathway you will get to see the 2 turkeys. We even got to see a deer this time in one of the fields when looking out of the bedroom window. We will be back again to visit this lovely property.

Carole

Lovely clean and cosey cottage thank you

Super Cottage, very well equipped, good price and fairly central for discovering East Riding. Bit of road noise when in the garden but the windows are very effective when in the house. Hot tub was great. Private and secluded grounds with ample parking. Spacious inside. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank You.

The cottage was lovely and homely, perfect for 2 couples and 2 children. The facilities were excellent, clean and tidy and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the Hot Tub and having the added bonus of Netflix. The parking was fantastic and location really good for going places like York and Beverley and National Trusts. Pocklington was nice and near and had plenty of EateriesTakeout's. The Plough Inn at Allerthorpe did a lovely meal and the Chinese Restaurant is within walking distance. We would definitely use Wayside Cottage if we returned to the area again.

Rebecca

This is a fantastic property, great value for money. Everything you could need for a short break, even has a hot tub! Great location for York and Beverley. We love it and will keep coming every year.
