About Pear Tree House
Pear Tree House is a Grade II listed, late eighteenth century cottage located in one of the prettiest and most sought after villages in North Yorkshire, Sutton-on-the-Forest, which lies 8 miles north of York.
Reputably, the oldest house in the village, the original part of the property is authentically charming and retains many of its original features. But the house offers the best of both worlds because it also features a contemporary, glass-roofed extension which doubles as a large open-plan kitchen and sitting room. It is well equipped, attractively decorated and furnished to a high standard.
The house has three bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to six people. There is also a small box room so families with a baby or small child can be provided for as well.
Pear Tree House is dog-friendly and well-behaved dogs are most welcome.

What our visitors say
Every now and then, you meet a host so warm and kind that you wish they were part of your own family. This was the case with Ben and his family. Communicative and generous. They went above and beyond to make my stay a pleasant one. Their home is absolutely perfect, gorgeous, spacious, well-equipped in an idyllic neighborhood. I can’t wait to return… (R. Green – December 2022)
This is the best Airbnb we have stayed in and we have stayed in some super homes… (G. Palethorpe – August 2022)
A fabulous house in a beautiful location. Ideal for traveling into York or to venture into North Yorkshire. The description of the property on the website and particularly the photos made our expectations high and we were not disappointed… (A. Couch – July 2022)
Wow! What a fantastic house and in a beautiful location. The house was spotlessly clean, immaculately presented and very well equipped. We had an absolutely amazing weekend, and loved our stay at Pear Tree House… (E. Gore – January 2022)

Announcement
Sadly, the ‘Rose & Crown’, the pub in the village, has closed recently which is a great disappointment to us, the villagers and our visitors alike. We very much hope that it will be taken on soon and any developments will be announced on the Pear Tree House website and on our listing with Airbnb as soon as they happen. Our apologies to you for any disappointment or inconvenience that this may cause.
We can highly recommend ‘Paradiso on the Forest’, a superb family-run Italian restaurant, which is just outside the village on the York Road and the ‘Bay Tree’ in Stillington which is only 2 miles away in the neighbouring village of Stillington. The ‘Durham Ox’ at Crayke, (a little under 5 miles away), has a very fine reputation for food. And ‘Miss Daisy’s Tea Rooms’ just across the road from Pear Tree House is wonderful for light bites, delicious homemade scones and cakes and tea & coffee.

In our first year we let 37 weeks out of 52 which feels like a good start. A huge thank you to everyone who stayed, you are at the very heart of our business. Thank you for the lovely things you have said and the helpful feedback you have provided. Where possible we have endeavoured to implement your suggestions. We are especially thrilled that some of you have already stayed more than once and many more are planning to return again next year.
