Welcome

The Toll Cottage is a luxury boutique B&B accommodation situated in the heart of Cottingham, on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. It’s ideally positioned as a location visit Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The Toll Cottage is a beautiful, 18th Century cottage steeped in history. Originally built on the grounds of “Baynard Castle”, a moated castle built in the 12th and 13th centuries, its name derives from its position to the toll gates of the castle. The B&B has been completely renovated and refurbished to offer luxurious, homely and comfortable accommodation for business or leisure travellers.
