The village of Sowerby presents a fantastic location for an adventure getaway with man’s best friend and this cosy cottage is a superb base from which to explore. Happily hosting four guests and one four-pawed pal, a stay in this holiday home presents you with opportunities for easy-going dog walks into the town of Thirsk, action-packed walkies adventures in the North York Moors and the chance to let Rover sniff out all sorts of wildlife within the Yorkshire Dales. Whatever pastimes set your tails wagging, you’ll always have the warm embrace of this traditional mid-terrace cottage to welcome you home at the end of the day.

Put your best paw forward and head inside, stepping instantly into the quaint living space with plush sofas positioned around a Smart TV and a wood burner. Let your beloved pup drag their bed and blanket to the warmest spot in front of this fire, drifting off into a peaceful sleep as you get stuck into a box set. Continue through into the kitchen/diner, a thoughtfully laid-out room hosting all three meals of the day and offering access to the enclosed patio where your dog can stretch their legs. On the first floor find two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, both served by a family bathroom, situated on the ground floor. The two of Yorkshire’s commanding National Parks, the Yorkshire Dales (18 miles) and the North York Moors (6 miles) are just a drive away which ensures you’ve always got a variety of eclectic landscapes to traverse with your canine companion at your heel. Pack a picnic and set off to explore Boltby Forest (6.5 miles), a beautiful corner of God’s Own Country where your dog can roam freely whilst you keep an eye out for the occasional wild pheasant.

A very quaint cottage in a beautiful village.Everything you need is provided and well equipped. The log burner is a bonus on a very cold night and the proximity to a lovely local pub.A simple flat walk takes you straight into thirsk where you'll find many pubs and eateries and all you need for a perfect stay.

A very pretty , well equipped cottage in a very picturesque street. Easy walking distance to Thirsk which is a great market town with shops, pubs, takeaways and cafes. Very steep staircase which could be difficult with small children. Perfectly positioned to explore the beautiful Yorkshire dales.
