Discover this luxurious three-storey house in North Yorkshire, the perfect place to host families and friends for a special celebration while surrounded by the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside.

Discover a grand family getaway (dogs included, of course) in this stunning Middleham property. Sleeping an impressive pack of 15 humans and two canine companions, this holiday home offers a truly unforgettable break for man and dog alike. Those who walk on two feet will be eager to discover luxuries including a sauna and hot tub, whilst the four-pawed members of the family will go mutts for an enclosed courtyard with room to roam and a cosy snoozing spot in front of the beautiful open fire. Naturally, both pups and people will adore long walks in the Yorkshire Dales which is just on your doorstep.

Plenty of traditional features are maintained in this stand-out choice of accommodation, yet the property has been lovingly updated to provide an entirely modern space to call your own. There’s space to cook for all in the impressive kitchen, complete with plenty of room to park dog beds and bowls for your beloved family pets. Those four-pawed pals can enjoy direct access into the courtyard from here, as well as access to the dining room where they’ll no doubt eagerly beg for scraps. After a night of relaxing together in the lounge or garden, hidden bedrooms are spread over the first and second floors for achieving those much-needed eight hours.

Grab your lead and take an early morning walk into Middleham, admiring the market square, picking up essentials and perhaps stopping for a game of fetch by the River Ure (0.5 miles). When the entire pack is up, the wonders of the Yorkshire Dales await you. Check out routes for walkies around Aysgarth Moor (9.5 miles) or Cotter Force (20 miles) to truly appreciate the beauty of this unrivalled part of the world.

A lovely, spacious and well presented property that worked well with our group of 14, spanning 3 generations - 8 adults and 6 children 11 months to 8yrs old. Lounge, dining room and kitchen were of a good size for our group.

There is a a range between the largest bedroom / bathroom combo and the smallest so worthwhile checking up in advance. Hide
