A paws-down winner for a dog-friendly break in North Yorkshire, this holiday cottage is perfect for hounds and humans. Situated on a farm surrounded by great pup-walking countryside, the three-bedroom property in Tollerton sleeps six guests and will keep tails wagging throughout the stay. The retreat, which is 10 miles from York and within reach of the North York Moors for day trips, has a courtyard garden with a hot tub for you to bubble in while your four-pawed pals bask in the sunshine.
Let yourselves in and follow your chum through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its high ceiling, beams and large windows. Refill water bowls, dish up doggy dinners and put your own evening feast on to cook in the kitchen area. Open the glass doors to the garden in the warmer months or fire up the wood burner in the autumn and winter. Dine at the table then find your favourite show on the Smart TV while your happy hound steals 40 winks. A WC and utility room are also downstairs. Bid your pets good night before making your way up to bed. All three of your enticing bedrooms are on the first floor. These include a double and two super-king-sizes, one with an en-suite shower room and the other with beds that can also be made up as twins by prior arrangement. There is also a family bathroom. The courtyard garden makes a great extension to the house. Have breakfast outside in the morning before accompanying your four-legged friends on long hikes; fire up the BBQ and the hot tub in the evening.
Venture 4.5 miles to see furry ears prick up as you wander the grounds at the National Trust’s Beningbrough Hall. Pocket some dog treats then drive 8 miles to the Howardian Hills for more scenic romps.
