Danby Cottage

Set deep in the heart of the forest, this cottage has been tastefully redesigned to provide a peaceful haven in beautiful forest surroundings but only half a mile from Yorkley village with two shops, a Health Centre and bus stop. You are able to use the many walking trails from right outside the gate and enjoy the wonderful scenery and wildlife.

It is spacious (sleeping 6), comfortable in all seasons (central heating and log-burning stoves), welcoming to disabled people, families, pets, and older people all in a way that respects the environment.

The cottage is accessible to those who need help with mobility having a downstairs bedroom (including ceiling hoist) and an ensuite wetroom.

Living/Dining Room

This is a large, new room with a pitched ceiling and an oak floor.  The wall facing the garden consists of an extended floor-to-ceiling series of glass doors which can be folded back to give uninterrupted access to a large area of decking, and the garden beyond.

The wall opposite these glass doors has an extended cupboard built in with a sliding door behind which the television and audio equipment are concealed.
