Furry canine companions and their four owners are sure to go mutts when they see this ultra-stylish retreat in Harrogate, Yorkshire. This lovingly renovated stone terraced cottage is in the rural hamlet of Plompton, surrounded by stunning, dog-friendly walks and fascinating character towns.
With an appealing mix of elegant interiors, French accents and preserved original features, this luxurious cottage is a welcoming retreat after days of rambling. The living room is sumptuous, with lavish seating that's arranged to make the most of special times together, and has plenty of space for your waggy-tailed pals to sprawl out. Throughout the home, pooches will love toasting their paws on the underfloor heating before heading into the well-equipped kitchen to sniff out scraps. Humans will be particularly keen to grab wine from the drinks cupboard, which the owners added for convenience, and move over to the large dining table, which suits all manner of dinner parties. Of an evening, leave your pups settled downstairs, and head upstairs to one of two exquisitely designed bedrooms, boasting grand furnishings, super-king-size beds, and an en-suite shower room and en-suite bathroom. In the morning, grab the toys from the utility and play a game of fetch out on the suntrap garden before making your pressed coffee and deciding on the day's adventure.
Clip on the lead and venture just under half a mile to the renowned beauty spot of Plumpton Rocks, an 18th-century parkland with 30 beautiful acres of romantic woodland, photogenic blankets of bluebells, and tranquil lakeside walks. Knaresborough (3 miles) also boasts waterside trails should you fancy sniffing out something new. Stock up on treats for the pooches at nearby Harrogate, 4.5 miles away, where visitors can indulge in a pampering session at the Turkish Baths or pop into the number of boutiques and eateries available.
