Immerse yourselves in the spectacular beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and bring your best furry friend with you. Capturing simply spectacular views, this four-bedroom retreat near Blades, in Swaledale, sleeps seven guests and is a paws-down winner for pups too. With a gorgeous interior, featuring a winter-warming wood burner, it also has an attractive garden where your happy hound can play happily and is surrounded by magnificent walks where he unleash his energy.

Make your way into this enticing retreat with your delighted dog at your heel. Take him through to the kitchen/diner, to warm his paws on the heated floor as he awaits his dinner. Find everything you need in this chic space to help you cater for your party. Pause at the breakfast bar with a cup of coffee while your hungry hound dines then head through to the lounge to light the wood burner and watch TV together. A family shower room/utility room, with a WC, is also downstairs. Settle your four-pawed pal for the night then head up to two king-size bedrooms, a twin and a single on the first floor. Two family bathrooms are also at this level. While away sunny mornings out in your immaculate garden. Have breakfast here in the summer, taking in the views as your cheerful chum explores. Light the BBQ in the evening and sit out under the stars.

Grab the lead, lace up your boots and stride straight out on superb dog walks. The Aysgarth Falls, 12.5 miles away, are ideal for taking lively pups to follow trails through woodland and beside the water. Have dinner in a dog-friendly pub in historic Richmond, 14 miles away, then stretch furry legs on a 4-mile circular walk from the town, beside the River Swale and taking in Easby Abbey.

Laykin Cottage is a gem! The photos can't convey the views of Swaledale. They were breathtaking. We felt so lucky to wake up to them every morning.

Laykin cottage, with its stunning location, was very well presented and excellently equipped. The beds were very comfortable and many thoughtful touches by the owners were obvious.

I cant recommend this cottage enough. We had a fabulous stay at Laykin, clean, warm, comfortable and the views, just the best! The location is great with plenty of walks from the door. The owners are lovely to deal with and have equipped the cottage with everything you need. Will definitely return.
