Mason's Cottage in Ampleforth is a well-presented, cosy retreat, perfect for two people and their dog. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, the high-quality welcome hamper, and the property's proximity to local amenities and walking routes. While some find the kitchen and parking space small, the overall experience is of a clean, warm, and inviting cottage in a beautiful village setting.
The cottage consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with guests describing it as spotless and well-maintained.
The location is highly regarded for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local pubs, shops, and scenic walks, although parking challenges have been noted.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, particularly highlighting the quality of the bed and the snug atmosphere, though some mention limited space and hanging areas for clothes.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, but feedback suggests room for improvement in appliance instructions, TV service, and the addition of small kitchen items. Parking and patio space have also been points of concern.
The welcome hamper is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
This former stonemason’s workshop in the heart of the village of Ampleforth, has been beautifully renovated into a light and airy bolthole for two and a perfect base for exploring all of the beautiful countryside and coast of North Yorkshire.
This former stonemason’s workshop has been beautifully renovated into a light and airy bolthole for two and a perfect base for exploring all of the beautiful countryside and coast of North Yorkshire. Mason’s Cottage was originally owned by a family of stonemasons who worked on the local churches, houses and schools including Ampleforth Abbey.
Ampleforth has existed as a village since Saxon times and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The village is situated at the southern boundary of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, just north of the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and surrounded by beautiful countryside, offering scenic walks and cycling routes right from the front door. Just five minutes’ drive away is the pretty market town of Helmsley with its Castle, Walled Garden, Duncombe Park and a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Prospect House (sleeping eight guests) is next to Mason's Cottage and available to book through Rural Retreats.

All was great. The basket of food and drinks so very welcome and appreciated. Glad I could increase the heating and it wasn't fixed.
