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.

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.

A lovely, well equipped and peaceful cottage located half way between Harrogate and Ripon and very close to Fountains Abbey. A perfect escape for two. Huge, comfortable bed. We would hope to return.
Yew cottage was in a beautiful spot with amazing views, sitting in the terrace spotted lots of different birds.
