About the host
Hosted by Jayne/ kevin
Kevin grew up at Ivy House Farm, Kexby, in 1985 married Jayne and we have both worked on the farm since then. In the year 2000 Jayne opened a pet shop and put plans in motion to convert an old farm building and pig sty into Ivy Cottage. This has been a long project, but we wanted Ivy Cottage to be a stunning and comfortable place, with high standards, which we would love to stay in ourselves.
What makes this property unique
Ivy Cottage is located on the family farm with open views of the countryside but close to York city centre, York Maze, Elvington Air Museum, MacArthur Glen Designer Outlet and is also ideally situated for the east coast, Leeds, Harrogate, the Yorkshire Dales/Moors.
There are several villages nearby which have good pubs/restaurants and other local amenities so everything required for an enjoyable holiday is close to hand.
