Tucked away in the quaint village of Embsay, this tail-wagging family-friendly cottage provides the perfect base from which to explore the endless tracks and trails of the Yorkshire Dales with your four-pawed pal. This is the ultimate escape for anyone with a nose for adventure with endless stick-throwing opportunities and scenic picnic spots accessible from the doorstep.
Characterful exposed ceiling beams and homely touches in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner create a truly warming ambience that invites weary feet and paws to unwind. The stunning lounge ceiling and exposed stonework around the TV add a unique charm. Fill up your pup’s water bowl in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen before whipping up some locally sourced treats and enjoying your efforts seated around the rustic dining table. Your pup won’t be able to resist snoozing in their special spot beneath the stairs as you unwind on the comfortable sofa. Lead the way upstairs to be lulled into a peaceful slumber by the picturesque countryside views in either of the two fetching double bedrooms, served by a shower room. Outside, soak up the natural beauty that surrounds you by dining alfresco on the patio as playful pups let off some steam in the shared, lawned garden.
The charming village of Embsay is home to a plethora of scenic footpaths; take the lead from the village centre to join the trail to hike across the moors to Hut Crag and Upper Barden Reservoir before passing Cracoe War Memorial and heading south past Rylstone Cross and Embsay Reservoir. Make a beeline for nearby Skipton (1.5 miles) to sniff out the best local produce with your canine companion in tow from the array of independent shops and cafes lining the cobbled streets. Beyond Skipton, the Yorkshire Dales offer endless stick-throwing opportunities; hop aboard a vintage steam train from the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway (4 miles) to journey through the attractive landscape of the Dales countryside.
