Lose yourself in wonderful Yorkshire when you stay at this exquisite, three-bedroom barn conversion with your favourite four-legged friend. Located close to the hamlet of Gollinglith Foot, 5 miles from Masham, it nestles in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, about 3 miles from the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Along with one happy hound, up to six guests are welcome at the country property, which has a delightful walled garden and impressive countryside views.
Wallow in the wealth of character at the carefully renovated home, with its exposed stonework, beautiful beams and sandstone floors. There is a kennel here too, which you are welcome to book in advance. Call Rex to join you in the large lounge in the evenings, while everyone else watches TV or listens to music on the MP3 docking station. Gather in the farmhouse kitchen to cook up feasts together and give your cheery chap a few treats of his own. Sit up at the table in the stylish dining area and later make your way upstairs to one of your three enticing bedrooms and your impressive family bathroom. Bask in the sunshine in the enclosed garden on warm days, with your furry friend enjoying the fresh air and playing with his favourite ball. Guests are also welcome to get to know the resident animals.
Pull on your hiking boots, pick up the lead and head straight out from home across the rolling countryside. Energetic walkers can discover Nidderdale on an 11-mile circular hike from Gollinglith Foot to Caldberg, passing through Witton Moor. Head to Leighton Reservoir, about 2.5 miles away for scenic walks with waterside views. Drive about 15 miles to Wensleydale to gaze over sweeping vistas, with a wagging tail by your side. Visit Aysgarth Falls, about 21.5 miles from your base, and embark upon a circular 7-mile walk, also taking in 14th-century Bolton Castle.
