We have been welcoming guests to Sunset Cottages for nearly 50 years and have made some wonderful friends.

Our ground floor apartment Valerian, is part of the west facing Sunset Cottages barn conversion at Manor Farm. Nestling in the heart of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, only 9 miles from Castle Howard and 25 minutes from York. Enjoy stunning views across open countryside, and rolling hills with fields of sheep, horses, woodland, bird life and truly memorable sunsets. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway, in a property cared for by the owners family, Valerian is perfect for two. Red Valerian grows just outside around the low walls of the car park. It has several common names including ‘Kiss Me Quick’. The beautiful arched windows make Valerian wonderfully light and airy. The open plan sitting area with exposed stonework and country furnishings add to the relaxed feel and the modern kitchen fits neatly around the corner. The super king sized double ( or a twin by request) is in a very spacious bedroom. The separate bathroom contains a toilet washbasin and thermostatically controlled shower over full sized bath. Rooms are well heated via our central biomass boiler. WiFi throughout. There is ample private parking with easy access. The separate laundry room onsite has washing machines, and tumble dryer, and the Reception room has lots of additional local information, tourism leaflets, and maps to borrow. Bikes may be stored under cover. The adjacent farmhouse garden has been created with a life time of love, and is unique in its design, with plenty of seating and secluded areas. Our guests are welcome to sit a while or wander. We will meet you during your stay, and for those guests interested in farming activities we can do accompanied tours by arrangement.
