Overview
Property code: 79596

This welcoming family home sleeps five guests and one canine companion. You’ll have some great dog walks on your doorstep, including the Harrogate Way which passes through the village. Hop in the car to explore the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is just 9 miles away. Here you’ll find a vast array of walks and paw-friendly attractions, including the incredible 100 million-year-old Brimham Rocks.

It’s easy to make yourself at home in this stylish property. The cosy lounge, with its central wood burner and countryside views, is the perfect place to snuggle up with a good book after a long walk with the pup. The contemporary kitchen/diner has ample room for the dog bed and also has bi-fold doors leading to the enclosed patio garden, so Rover can potter in and out. Outside, the terrace area is backed by a natural stone wall, making it a real sun trap and a great little spot to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out for a day of adventure.

The pretty village of Pannal lies in a pleasant valley and from here you can take a circular riverside walk for 4.5 miles, joining part of the Harrogate Way. Round off your walk with a trip to the traditional woof-friendly village pub, less than a mile from the property. Spend a relaxing afternoon at Valley Gardens in Harrogate (2.5 miles away). The Grade II-listed garden welcomes four-legged visitors on leads and has some lovely woodland walks to explore, as well as outdoor games, crazy golf and a paddling pool for the kids. Journey into pre-history with a trip to Brimham Rocks. The spectacular rock formations are fascinating and have been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. You and the hound can follow a 3.5-mile loop around the area.

Beautiful cottage, lovely decor and equipped with everything you need. Very thoughtful owner who texted to make sure we arrived and a lovely welcome with a home baked cake. Fab location for the dog who loved walks up on the fields behind the cottage. All in all had a wonderful weeks stay.

Very comfortable, tasteful decor and furnishings made it a pleasure to stay in. All the little extras really made a difference as in tea, sugar, salt pepper, cooking oil, washing up liquid, etc. Thoughtful and good to have these all at hand. Home made scones were very welcomed, tasty and much appreciated when we first arrived. A very attractive andRead more comfortable house to stay in within a short distance of Pannal and not far from Harrogate. Lovely walks direct from the house too. Hide

Lovely cottage, comfortable and well equipped. The only downside is the considerable amount of traffic passing the house at speeds definitely higher than the 30mile limit and the steep hill climb back up from Pannal centre. Good location for walkers.

Sandy Banks is a lovely, homely cottage set it idyllic countryside with an amazing rock face backdrop in the back garden. It is a wonderful base upon which to explores various historical towns and places of importance, most notably Harrogate, Knaresborough, York, Ripley Village, Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks.

Lovely place to base yourself for trips to York, Harrogate and Knaresborough. We walked to the train station several times, to use the train for days out, which was great not having to use the car. Lovely countryside walks from the cottage too. There were 5 adults in our group....the single bed was a little on the small side for our youngest who isRead more 6ft 2! But he managed. Great shower, brilliant having the utility room with washer and dryer, and loved the log burner. We had a great week! Hide
