A gorgeous lodge in the village of Finghall, within 4.5 miles of the bustling market town of Leyburn, which enjoys far-reaching views of Wensleydale. Featuring open-plan living areas, two generously-sized bedrooms and an enclosed garden, this homely property is well-suited to small families seeking an idyllic rural bolthole, with easy access to attractions across The Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The single-storey lodge offers guests style, sophistication and functionality, with plenty of space for little ones on four and two paws. With spectacular views from every window, the lodge is a comfortable space you’ll look forward to returning to after an active day out. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is full of modern conveniences and is a wonderful place to relax (the dining table can be converted into both a ping pong or snooker table) not least in summer when its large patio doors are thrown open. Two generously-sized bedrooms - a super-king-size bedroom with plenty of storage and a single bedroom with a pull-out bed - stand just off this area, as does a characterful family bathroom perfect for long, invigorating soaks. The enclosed garden features a small lawned area and a decked area with stunning views of Wensleydale, especially from the hot tub. There is even a chance to say hello to Shetland ponies in a neighbouring paddock.
Finghall’s dog-friendly village pub is 200 metres away from the cottage, as are a host of scenic footpaths perfect for long walks. Four-footed passengers are welcome to hop aboard the heritage steam trains that puff their way from the village through attractive countryside towards Leyburn (4.5 miles), a market town that welcomes canine customers. The area is blessed with other dog-friendly market towns including Bedale (6.5 miles), Richmond (10 miles) and Northallerton (14 miles).
