Experience a unique, dog-friendly break when you escape to this enticing cottage within an exquisite, period gate lodge on a Yorkshire country estate. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, single-storey retreat at Forcett, 8 miles from Richmond, has all the ingredients to ensure the happiness of couples, small families and their pups. From its elegant, stylish interior to its almost 120-acres of shared parkland, it offers the chance to make truly special memories.
Let yourselves into the light-filled cottage to find accommodation that is straight from the pages of a glossy magazine. Feed your furry friend through in the chic kitchen/diner, then prepare a delicious feast for everyone else here too and dine as you gaze out across the greenery. Spend your evenings together in the lounge, in front of a good film on the Smart TV or chatting about the following day and the many dog-friendly adventures to come. Take your cheerful chum for a last run before bed, then settle him down and head through to one of your two bedrooms. These include a stunning king-size bedroom, with a modern, four-poster bed and an en-suite bathroom, with a free-standing bath, and a twin that can also be set up as a super-king if discussed in advance. There is also a family shower room. Take your pal for a pad around the lake before returning for breakfast on the patio on sunny days. Unwind out here under the stars later with a glass of something fizzy and your four-legged friends close by.
Head down to Richmond to explore the town and stretch furry legs with a 1-mile, scenic stroll along the banks of the River Swale to beautiful Easby Abbey. From here, head straight into the picturesque Yorkshire Dales to find a myriad of exceptional footpaths to keep tails wagging.
