Pocket Cottage Historic Tiny Home Near Village Pubs

A charming, dog-friendly restored Grade II listed cottage dating back to 1746, Pocket Cottage is a celebration of whimsical design on a small scale. Nestled in the heart of Stillington, a quaint North Yorkshire village surrounded by the rolling beauty of the Howardian Hills- an Area of Outstanding Beauty, and within easy reach of the Yorkshire Moors and York, it offers an idyllic retreat for up to four guests + cot. Here, authentic village life unfolds with two welcoming pubs, a local store, and scenic countryside walks just beyond the doorstep. Thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with modern comforts, Pocket Cottage celebrates its Yorkshire heritage with carefully considered details that preserve its history. Every element of the cottage reflects a layered approach to design—where antique finds, sugar plum hues, and playful touches come together to create a space that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The interiors are a tribute to the cottage's past, with handcrafted details, timeworn textures, and whimsical flourishes that evoke stories of those who might have lived there long ago. The cottage’s character unfolds through cosy corners, soft ambient lighting, and the inviting glow of the log burner—a feature that feels like the very heart of the home. Rich, tactile fabrics, bespoke joinery, and hand-painted finishes add depth and personality, making each room feel gathered over time. The dramatically oversized headboard in "The Nook" and the buttercream timber-clad walls in The Cubby are more than just design choices; they are expressions of comfort and charm. "The Cubby" can be configured as either a super king or twin room (please specify at the time of booking). The kitchen, a marvel of compact living, is as functional as it is beautiful, proving that clever design transcends size. The living spaces, with their plump feather-filled cushions and eclectic mix of antiques, invite you to slow down, sink in, and stay a while. In the sun-drenched garden room, mornings come alive with the warmth of natural light reflecting off hand-painted chequerboard floors, while the cobbled garden outside, strung with festoon lights ad fire pit, becomes a fairyland as dusk falls. Pocket Cottage isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a cosy, character-filled retreat designed for making memories. Whether you're exploring the Yorkshire countryside or simply unwinding in the warmth of the cottage, every carefully considered detail whispers, "Welcome home."
