A grand residence located in the Yorkshire Dales (aka doggie heaven); this wow-factor home is excellent for a pet-friendly holiday of up to 16 guests. It's in Giggleswick, a chocolate-box village on the edge of the historic town of Settle (1 mile). From cosy meals in scenic country pubs to cobbled streets perfect for leisurely strolls, the area combines natural beauty with a rich cultural backdrop. And for dog walks, you and your four-pawed chums will be spoilt for choice - with the Forest of Bowland on one side and the majestic national park on the other.
Dating back to the 19th century - and with composer Sir Edward Elgar among its former visitors - this impressive home has been renovated to an exceptional standard. You'll enter via the original wooden entrance doors, and inside, a welcoming ambience awaits with high ceilings, tactile rugs for dogs to lounge on, rich colours and plenty of mood lighting. Every last detail has been considered, from the printed wallpaper to the tasteful artwork and plush velvet sofas. The ground floor hosts three luxurious en-suite bedrooms, two offering direct garden access — perfect for dogs to roam and explore. The garden itself is a haven for relaxation and play, featuring a patio with a hot tub, a raised lawn area for outdoor dining, a tree swing and seating spots with pretty views.
You'll have a pub and shop within 0.5 miles and plenty more amenities at walking distance in Settle. Numerous dog-friendly walks are accessible directly from the property, leading you through the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Stroll up to the limestone outcrops at Warrendale Knots (2.5 miles) or sniff out Victoria and Jubilee Caves (2 miles) with your pets in tow. Further afield, Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are less than 8 miles away, offering breathtaking views and trails your doggies will love. For urban wanderings and dog-friendly cafés, head to the bustling market town of Skipton (16 miles).
