Let Fido join in the fun when you arrange a special group stay at this impressive stone barn on a working farm in North Yorkshire. Situated on the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales, 2.5 miles from Ripon, the sumptuous, dog-friendly retreat sleeps 16 guests across seven beautiful, en-suite bedrooms. Opening on to a generous courtyard garden, with a hot tub and sunken fire pit, the property also has access to a large field where four-legged friends can run free.
Step inside to find accommodation that marries chic decor with gorgeous original character. Towel the family pets dry in the boot room, then take them through to the stylish kitchen/diner where you can whip up something tasty. Usher the dogs through to the lounge, which has a wood burner and Smart TV, or head for the games room with its pool table and additional Smart TV. There is also a dining room downstairs and two king-size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and the other with an en-suite bathroom. A twin bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, adjoins a mezzanine with beds that can be arranged as a double or twin if discussed in advance. Three more king-sizes and a twin that can also be made up as a double are all upstairs. These all have en-suite shower rooms and one king-size has a free-standing bath in the bedroom. Call the pups out into the enclosed garden to keep you company as you play chess, dine outside or unwind in the hot tub. Air source heating, rainwater harvesting and solar energy add to the eco-friendliness of this cottage.
While away sunny afternoons at the National Trust’s Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, 3.5 miles away, where waggy-tailed visitors are welcome. Fido can also join you as you explore the great sculpture at Coldstones Cut, 13 miles away.
