Copmanthorpe Hall

For a truly special group getaway, look no further than Copmanthorpe Hall. This magnificent farmhouse, set within the grounds of a working farm, offers an exceptional amount of space and comfort for up to twelve guests. Renovated to an incredibly high standard, it’s a place that has the real wow factor, making it the perfect setting for a family celebration or a memorable holiday with friends. While you can enjoy the peace of the countryside, you’re just a very short drive from the heart of York.

The social heart of the home is the vast open-plan kitchen and dining area. With sleek, contemporary units and every appliance you could need, the kitchen is superbly equipped for catering to a large group. The huge dining table can comfortably seat everyone, creating a wonderful space for celebratory meals and evening conversations. Adjoining this space is a cosy snug, a fantastic bonus room with an Xbox, offering a quiet corner to escape with a book or a separate entertainment zone for the kids.

When it’s time to relax together, the main sitting room is wonderfully spacious, with plenty of plush seating for everyone to unwind in the evenings and catch up on their favourite shows after a busy day of exploring.

A rare find for large groups, every single one of the six beautifully presented bedrooms is wonderfully spacious and comes with its own private en-suite bathroom, so there’ll be no queuing in the morning. The rooms are all either king-size or super-king-size, with many offering zip-and-link beds for flexible sleeping arrangements. A standout feature is the ground-floor super-king-size bedroom, which has its own accessible en-suite wet room, making it a perfect, self-contained space for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

Step outside and you’ll discover a huge, enclosed garden that offers a tranquil and private setting. There’s plenty of lawn space for garden games and a lovely patio area with furniture for alfresco dining. Enjoy the peaceful views over the neighbouring fields, which are often home to a few friendly cows. To top it all off, the large hot tub is a luxurious treat, providing the perfect spot to relax under the stars.

Although it feels like a rural retreat, the property is ideally located for sightseeing. The nearby village of Copmanthorpe has a shop and a pub for your essentials, while the centre of York is just a ten-minute drive. You can easily access all the city’s famous attractions, from the magnificent Minster and the historic Shambles to the York Races. For a hassle-free trip, the local Park and Ride is also very convenient.
