On the edge of the popular village of Coxwold in the Howardian Hills AONB, just 8 miles from Helmsley and 20 miles from the City of York, Angram Cottage is a hidden gem nestled away at the end of a woodland track by a babbling brook, converted from a pretty stone barn which has been lovingly restored by owners Rachel & James to create a haven for rest and relaxation.

Step inside this pretty cottage and the soothing, calm colour palette of soft muted tones gives you that lovely warm fuzzy feeling, like a great big hug from an old friend, and you know instantly that this is going to be a beautiful place to be. The open plan living space has a cosy log fire, soft squishy sofas and a Smart TV. The kitchen is well laid out with a sociable dining area so everyone can be together. With two spacious bedroom suites, one on the ground floor, the cottage offers versatility for friends and family to enjoy glorious Yorkshire.

Just a 20 minute walk into the idyllic village of Coxwold where you will find a great pub and St. Michaels, a 15th century church.

REVIEWS

We love to hear back from our guests to find out their experience with Beautiful Escapes.

April 2025

Firstly, the home was very clean and welcoming. The features of the home are stunning and we loved every minute of our stay. The home provided us with everything and more than what we needed. It’s safe to say we have found a place we will be coming back to. I’m so grateful to you for having this getaway for people like me and my friends who came with me.
The area is stunning and calming. The greenery was absolutely beautiful to admire. The area and home were the perfect place for us to escape life’s everyday hustle and bustle.
Booking with Beautiful Escapes was easy, I had no issues with this, I want to personally thank you for helping us when we had any questions or queries. The support provided exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for providing the items you had for us in the home.
We will be coming back.

Dear Angela

We had the most fabulous stay at Angram Cottage. The Cottage is in the most beautiful setting and very well equipped. We made use of the kitchen facilities which had everything one needed. The property is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds & spacious bathrooms.
We enjoyed visiting the local beautiful towns of Malton & Helmsley as well as walking to Rievaulx Abbey. We visited a couple of good friendly pubs at Byland Abbey & Coxwold and had a superb meal at the Star at Harome.
Overall an enjoyable & relaxing few days – the only downside being the fog that was blanketing the whole country at the time – but this allowed us time to enjoy the boutique shops in Malton!
Best Wishes
Janet

Angram Cottage was really lovely. It was very comfortable, had everything you could need, and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. The area was great and really handy for getting to places as it was relatively central.
The booking process was really easy and you were very helpful when we asked to amend the booking dates. We would definitely book with you again.
Thanks so much.
Kind regards
Emma

Firstly I’d like to thank you Angela for your help and kindness which encouraged me to book. We really enjoyed our stay in this area of Yorkshire.
We loved Easingwold and Helmsley in particular and the quiet roads for cycling and easy walking. We loved the quiet rural location of the barn but the closeness of pretty towns/villages where there was always somewhere nice to have a coffee or lunch. The barn was warm and the beds super comfy, with blackout blinds in the bedrooms which we appreciate. Plentiful hot water and bath and showers great.  Loved seeing and hearing the geese fly in early mornings!
We will definitley book with Beautiful Escapes again.
Thank you
Nicki & Mark

This is a superb cottage for two couples to use to explore North Yorkshire, there is plenty of space with two bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area, and a dining area supported by good facilities such as dishwasher and washing machine.

The local pub in nearby Coxwold is very popular so booking is essential.

We visited places like Whitby, Castle Howard, Eden Camp (built by Italian POW’s), Helmsley and Scarborough and were usually back for afternoon tea.

We will definitely use this again if we want to return to this part of Yorkshire – which is lovely, with very friendly people.

Thank you, Owen

July 2024

Angram Cottage is beautiful and we would quite happily stay there again, we stayed there for nine nights with our our daughter, son-in-law and nine month old grandson.
Rachel, the owner, was there to greet us and to show us around the property, Rachel and her husband are a lovely couple and made us feel very welcome. The property was immaculate when we arrived and is finished to a very high spec and all the fitting and fixtures are of good quality.
Our daughter and her husband had the downstairs bedroom as they needed a bath for their nine month old baby. There was plenty of room for the three of them even with the travel cot assembled, they found the bed very comfortable. My wife and I had the upstairs bedroom which was huge, we also had a very big bathroom which had a great walk-in shower.
The views from the cottage are lovely of the surrounding countryside. Coxwold is the nearest village to Angram Cottage and takes less than five minutes to drive to, it is a lovely little village with a pub, we had dinner there on two occasions and the food was very good and reasonably priced. Booking a table in advance is advised. It’s a nice pub to visit. We also visited the Byland Inn, opposite Byland Abbey, twice for drinks, this has a more upmarket restaurant, the menu looked very good and the restaurant was very busy. It’s about a ten minute drive from the cottage. Another pub/restaurant to try is the Plum and Partridge in Hurstwaite which is about a fifteen minute drive from the cottage, we had Sunday dinner there and the food was very good and reasonably priced, The restaurant is very modern and comfortable and is well worth a visit.
Other places we visited were Thirsk, nice town to visit if you are interested in James Herriot or need a train there is a mainline station there, York is a lovely city – walked the City walls on a free walking tour, Helmsley another very pretty town with lots of places to eat, Whitby famous seaside resort with ruins of abbey to visit, Robin Hood Bay very picturesque, Easingwold another small pretty town. Ampleforth Abbey open to the public and free entrance, it is still a working Abbey with monks and the famous college with amazing grounds and facilities you can use. Harrogate, we had afternoon tea at Bettys, we visited Knaresborough and Mother Shipton’s caves, and also Rievaulx famous for its Abbey.
We found booking with Beautiful Escapes very easy, if we are ever looking to visit Yorkshire again we will book with Beautiful Escapes again.
Thank you Mike and family.

June 2024

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Angram Cottage. The owners James and Rachel, are relaxed and friendly, available for advice but left us to enjoy the peace, we enjoyed the welcome tray of tea coffee and fruit cake they left for us.
The cottage is of a high standard, very comfortable and cosy in peaceful surroundings, I sat outside for breakfast with only the sound of the birds and bees.
The village of Coxwold is picturesque with an excellent pub where we enjoyed some meals. The countryside around is beautiful. We loved Helmsley.
The booking process was smooth and easy and we are looking forward to returning.
Kind regards
Linda and John

April 2024

We had the most wonderful stay in Angram Cottage. Rachel was an amazing host, the cottage was beautifully appointed and impeccably clean. We also loved the location being so close to a fantastic village with welcoming pub and beautiful church.

We could not recommend it highly enough and certainly would book with you again!

Morven & family

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay in Angram cottage which was like a home from home experience, Rachel & James have renovated the cottage to a very high standard with all the amenities we required, the cottage was  lovely and warm even at the end of February.

The wood burner made it really cosy, its tranquil quite location was exactly what we wanted, with a great selection of good  pubs serving amazing food set in sleepy villages all within a few miles of the cottage, we also managed some nice walks to work up an appetite,

I found the Beautiful Escapes website very easy to navigate with good information very easy to book and I would have no hesitation in recommending or booking future breaks with you

Many thanks

We had a delightful time at Angram Cottage – the area was tranquil, picturesque and everything we were looking for in a short break.  The property itself was beautiful, renovated to an extremely high standard with a wide array of amenities and provisions on arrival which were a lovely touch.
The booking process was simple and swift – we wanted to extend our stay by one night and you were very accommodating – we would definitely book again via Beautiful Escapes and highly recommend staying at Angram Cottage.

March 2023

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was a stunning property with everything internally of such a high standard. It was an ideal size for 2 couples. A great private location close to many of the rural North Yorkshire towns & villages. Plenty of walks nearby with Sutton Bank National Park a short drive away. The nearby village of Coxwold is within a couple of miles and we had dinner at The Fauconberg, pricey but food of a very high quality!
The booking process with Beautiful Escapes was also very  straightforward and your prompt responses were very much appreciated. We’d be very happy to book again.
And the Betty’s gift was a real treat so thank you!
Tracy & family
