Bring the family or just your other half (Fido too, naturally) to make magical holiday memories at this two-bed property on a complex giving you use of a swimming pool, sauna, games facilities and a hot tub. Although, naturally, those aren’t for the dog! If you can tear yourselves away from the spa facilities, the cottage’s location in Newton-on-Rawcliffe right on the edge of the North York Moors National Park guarantees lots of outdoor walking and cycling through woodland and moors to get tails wagging.

This is an attractive ground-floor apartment converted from a former barn offering comfortable open-plan living. Two sofas make the lounge a welcoming space, plus, there’s a dining table and also the bright, modern kitchen fitted with lots of storage and everything you need for your self-catering break. There’s a double bedroom and a triple bunk room, furnished with classic pine-look furniture and decorated in calming tones for sweet dreams. They share a bathroom with a shower over the bath, for those luxuriant holiday soaks. Choose from a shared paved patio area with benches for soaking up some sun while you dine or the shared gardens complete with a pond. Your canine companion will love them both.

You can spend hours in the shared spa which is across the courtyard and houses an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub to really help de-stress. If you fancy a night off cooking, head for the village pub where you’ll feel welcomed with dogs and children alike. Or hop aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railways from Levisham Station. By car this is around 10 miles but it’s just 1 mile on foot which should please your canine chum who even gets their own (cheaper) ticket for the train!

We stayed in Owl cottage, are a family of five with one dog and the space was great. Two decent size bedrooms, one with a double and another with a double bunk bed. The living area had enough seating for us all and space around a dining table. The biggest appeal for booking was the leisure suite which was really great with separate pool, hot tub anRead mored sauna. We understand that the owners are looking to update the property and we hope the bathroom is top of the list as its desperately needed. Hide

Great place to stay. Dog friendly several walks straight out of the door. Leisure suite great. Even elexa worked in spite of noise from spar. Furniture suite could be better. Apparently new one on order. Old type of hob could do with upgrade with current refurbishment. Overall would go back any time.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was cosy and well equipped. The provision of extra handles in the bathroom was much appreciated. The booklet was full of information about the house and the surrounding area. We enjoyed using the swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. A real treat. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his freedom in the enclosed garden areaRead more too. Hide

Immaculate and lovely and clean, lids from pans missing and very uncomfortable sofas, perfect for two but would have been a bit of a squeeze with four. steep step to get in and out of cottage.
