Escape to this tastefully styled retreat for two, nestled in a peaceful and private estate. Markington is ideally situated for exploring all of Yorkshire’s splendid countryside. Lying between Harrogate (7 miles) and Ripon (6 miles), this location is an ideal base to explore the Yorkshire Dales to the west and the North York Moors and Yorkshire Coast to the east.
The village itself offers a small store and a pub. Local attractions include Fountains Abbey, Ripley Castle, Mother Shiptons Cave and the amazing rock formations of Brimham Rocks. You could explore Knaresborough Castle and Almscliffe Crag, or visit Pateley Bridge, home of England’s oldest sweet shop and the fascinating Nidderdale Museum, all within 12 miles. The fascinating, historic cathedral city of York (26 miles) promises a fun-packed day. Stroll around the castle walls and through the cobbled ‘Shambles’, York’s famous medieval street popular with Harry Potter fans is said to have been the inspiration for Diagon Alley.

Testimonials
Lovely location and the most luxurious cottage we have ever stayed in. Would thoroughly recommend.
Beautiful accommodation in stunning countryside setting.
Yew Cottage is a luxury property in which to enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings and yet not be far from many attractions. All the furnishings are comfortable and good quality, with excellent lighting whether you want it bright or more subdued. The woodburner is the best we've seen. The kitchen is well equipped, and the welcome hamper had a lovely selection of Yorkshire goods. We would have no hesitation in returning.
An excellent holiday cottage in a lovely location with very pleasant views over the fields. The proximity of Rippon and Harrogate, Fountains Abbey, the Brimham Rocks, Ripley Castle and Ilkley Moor, etc. gave us plenty to see and do. The welcome hamper was very generous and Chris, the caretaker, greeted us on arrival.
One of the best places we have ever stayed. The kitchen was perfectly equipped so we could easily prepare our own meals. Everything was generously provided from tea-bags to dressing gowns! Great location, within 30 minutes there is more than enough to keep you busy for a week.

Lovely cottage with wonderful views across the fields especially when the cows were in view. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with all the necessary items (plus a lot more) for you to enjoy. The welcome hamper was a delight.

So peaceful & home from home comfort. Go and stay and enjoy the house and area. Just leave a space for us to go back and enjoy!!
Yew Cottage was a perfect destination for 2 to enjoy the festivities or a holiday at any other time. The accommodation is spacious, warm and comfortable with a beautiful outlook over the grounds and the countryside beyond. The owners are very generous with their welcome hamper and we were kept supplied with wood for the log burner throughout our stay. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and it was easy to make our Christmas meal and other meals there. It is also very private & peaceful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in Yew Cottage. It is a 'home from home', with everything needed (including a very generous welcome hamper). Gorgeous views, and the property is perfectly located for visiting Harrogate, Ripon and the Dales. The caretaker was always available to answer any questions. Would love to return in summer.
The cottage is very comfortable with a lovely views and beautiful formal gardens to wander round. We enjoyed watching red kites flying. Spotted a hare in the formal gardens and a Sparrowhawk too. There's lots to see and do in the area too much for just one weeks holiday, a return is a must.
Perfect, just perfect! I could start & finish this review with this first sentence, but it wouldn't really be helpful for potentials guests, I think Hob Green Estate & Yew Cottage are a place to dream of, we were lucky to be staying there for 2 weeks. Starting a new day with the beautiful views the cottage offers, what could have been better? The decorations, the furniture, the love to detail, the thoughtful touches everywhere! Yew Cottage was definitely one of the best cottages we ever stayed.
This was such a comfortable, cosy cottage, with wonderful views, and in a great location for Ripon, Harrogate and nearby attractions. We saw red kites, hares, deer and the first swallows of the season. Highly recommended.
A really lovely, extremely well presented property in a wonderful location. The rooms are all large and very well appointed in excellent condition. It is ideal for exploring the Dales, Ripon, York and Harrogate. We will definitely return.
Yew cottage is situated in Hob Green Estate. We found our stay enjoyable relaxing and had the added bonus of been able to walk around the formal gardens . The cottage is luxurious, comfortable and cosy and has everything you need for your stay. The views are spectacular, we enjoyed watching the abundance of birds which visit the garden ,whilst also been lulled to sleep by the owls. An ideal base for, Fountains Abbey 3miles away, Harrogate 7 miles and close to Pately Bridge, Ripon , Harewood House.
It was a pleasure and a privilege to stay in this beautiful cottage on the stunning Hob Green Estate. Beautifully designed and furnished, exceptionally comfortable, extremely well appointed and with fabulous views from the private terrace, everything was immaculate for our arrival.

A fantastic week - many thanks to the warm & welcoming owners, Heather & Andrew.

Yew cottage was in a beautiful spot with amazing views, sitting in the terrace spotted lots of different birds. The cottage was beautifully furnished to a very high standard and everything and more you may need was provided.
