If you’re seeking some natural Yorkshire beauty and peaceful surroundings, try this delightful stone-built cottage in the historic market town of Richmond. You’ll have pet-pleasing walking trails right from your front door and human-pleasing views of the nearby abbey ruins from your rear garden. Just 2.5 miles west of the cottage is the majestic Yorkshire Dales National Park, opening up endless opportunities for hikes and scenic drives. The end-of-terrace property has space for up to four humans and two doggies, so is ideal for a family holiday or small group of friends.
The Grade-II-listed accommodation is located within a courtyard and features a cosy kitchen/diner where you can gather for evening meals after long days out walking. The decor is considered and tasteful, with lovely wooden furniture and printed soft furnishings. In the warm and inviting lounge, sink into one of the sofas and watch something on the Smart TV while your pet stretches out on the carpet at your feet. Original features such as sash windows, stable doors and painted ceiling beams contribute to a traditional, homely atmosphere. The private furnished garden, accessed through a wooden gate, is a gorgeous space for sipping morning coffee while your pet chows down on her holiday bone.
You’ll have plenty of wonderful scenery all around, with the River Swale running through Richmond and the wonderful Richmond Falls 1.5 miles away. The town boasts stunning Georgian architecture, cobbled streets and plenty of shops and restaurants (1 mile) to explore. Nearby, the market towns of Leyburn, Barnard Castle and Bedale, all within 15 miles, are all worth visiting.
