Ashfield Holiday Cottages are a skillful conversion of a 19th century rural house, with a 3-star rating, located close to the village of Dunnington. We aim to maintain a quiet and relaxing atmosphere around the site, even in our busy times, to provide a restful and relaxing holiday location for all our guests.
Ashfield is set within peaceful rural countryside, yet is only 10 minutes drive from the centre of York. It as also an ideal location for visiting the national parks, coastal resorts and many other tourist attractions of North Yorkshire, most within an hours drive. The wooded site has an abundance of bird and wildlife, and the nearby woods have a herd of deer that can occassionally be seen.
We do have wireless internet for those wanting email and internet connectivity on their laptop whilst on holiday, but this is offered without configuration support at reasonable rate. We also have an internet PC available for hire.
You are assured of a friendly welcome and everything to enjoy a refreshing hot drink on your arrival. We welcome responsible dog owners with up to 2 dogs, but please contact us in advance if you have more four legged friends. At the end of the drive is a quiet country lane leading into woodland, so dog walks should be peaceful and enjoyable.
Ashfield Cottages are ideally situated in a secluded rural location just 5 miles from York city walls and only 1.5 miles from a Park & Ride facility. The local village, Dunnington, is well provided for, having a newsagent, mini-supermarket, butchers, hairdressers, fish & chip shop and 3 pubs within walking distance. There are frequent buses to York and there is also a cycle track from the village to York to allow safe, environmentally friendly transport to the city (although we do not recommend this for very small children).
The resorts of the north east coast and beauty of the Yorkshire Wolds, Moors and Dales are also within easy reach. In addition to the natural attractions of North Yorkshire, we are conveniently placed for trips to Castle Howard, Flamingo Land zoo & family fun park, National Railway Museum and York' medieval sites. To help save you time sat in traffic on your day trips from Ashfield, we can tell you the best routes to avoid the traffic, wherever you are traveling to.
