This charming one-bedroom cottage sits on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors in the small village of Kilburn. Handsome and within walking distance to a pet-friendly gastro pub, this is a romantic retreat for a couple plus two canine companions wanting countryside walks, outdoor activities, and relaxation.
The interior brims with country-style charm and sophistication. Wooden beams, rich tones, and mahogany furniture make the lounge an inviting space. After a day exploring the moors sink into the Chesterfield sofa in front of the wood burner with Fido at your feet and a film on the Smart TV. Alternatively, pour a drink and step up to the light-drenched kitchen where you can rustle up a romantic meal and then serve it in the lovely sunroom. When the weather is good, slide the glass doors open and let Fido snooze in the suntrap garden while you enjoy a soak in the hot tub. When night falls, retire upstairs to the super-king-size zip-and-link bed. Pleasantly furnished, the large bedroom window offers up lovely views of the White horse of Kilburn, set into the limestone of Sutton Bank. In the morning, step through the front door and let your pup sniff out new scents among the shrubs while you enjoy coffee at the bistro table.
Pull on walking boots and explore the North Yorkshire Moors with your hound. After a tail-wagging walk in nature be sure to head to the local pub (100 yards) and grab a bite-to-eat with your furry friend. Alternatively, enjoy a romantic meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant in Oldstead (1 mile). For a day out, head 10.5 miles to Helmsley. It’s a quaint market town brimming with local shops, cafes, and dog-friendly inns. Here your hound can enjoy a walk through the pretty walled gardens and explore the impressive 12th-century castle overlooking the town.
