There will usually be someone about during your stay (we are always contactable by phone) Full breakfast ingredients can be stocked by arrangement and we can also arrange for other items, including a welcome pack, so you don't have to shop immediately! Situated two miles from the market town of Driffield, the cottage is ideally placed for trips to the coast (Bridlington, Scarborough and Filey are all within half an hour) If you enjoy walking or cycling, there are many green lanes and footpaths within easy reach. Beverley and York are close by, and other attractions such as Burton Agnes Hall, Sledmere House and Castle Howard are also within easy reach. A car is recommended as the property is beyond comfortable walking distance of the local town and not on a regular bus route. Taxis can be booked from Driffield, however, and there is a train station in the town. Wheatear Cottage is situated on a working beef and arable farm, and adjacent to a B road, so there is some traffic noise (generally only noticeable when outside in the garden) There are dogs on the property but all are friendly and none are permitted access to the holiday cottage
