When it’s time to book a scenic stay with your partner and doggies, it’s hard to beat this charming one-bedroom cottage, located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It’s surrounded by gorgeous scenery, so just the ticket for relaxing or adventuring with your furry friends. The cottage sits between the picturesque villages of Ravenstonedale (3 miles) and Kirkby Stephen (6 miles). Locally, explore nearby nature reserves like Smardale Gill (6 miles) or scale summits like Wild Boar Fell (7.5 miles) to be rewarded with breathtaking views.

Inside, the cottage is inviting and stylish, with a cosy open-plan living area that includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining table and comfortable corner sofa. The vaulted ceiling, rustic beams, and stone floors add to the cottage's charm, while skylights flood the space with natural light. When it’s time to rest, the spacious king-sized bedroom awaits for a peaceful night's sleep. This leads to a bathroom with a shower over a bath, so you can choose between a quick rinse or a luxurious soak. Outside, your pets will love sniffing around the garden. There’s a lovely shared Victorian garden at the front, complete with a patio area for you to sit and enjoy the fresh air.

Just 1 mile away from the cottage, you’ll find a dog-friendly country pub serving hearty meals – fab for those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking. Local sites you can explore with your pets include the Bowber Head Farm Nature Reserve (2 miles) and the ruins of Pendragon Castle (4.5 miles). Smardale Gill Nature Reserve (6 miles), home to native cattle, includes a 5-mile section of disused railway line – your dogs can trot up ahead while you take in the grandeur of the stunning Smardale Gill Viaduct. A tail-waggingly good day out!

Stayed for 4 nights in this perfect location. The cottage was very clean and really comfortable for our break. It was secluded and wonderfully quiet. It was only a 15 minute walk to the Fat Lamb pub for good food. Would also recommend the Kings Head at Ravenstonedale. We were able to go on lovely walks straight from the accommodation up onto the feRead morells nearby. We would definitely come again and would highly recommend this to other prospective guests. Hide

This is a delightful cottage in a truly peaceful location but close enough to good pubs and shops. The decor is of an excellent standard with everything you could need for a short break included. The bedroom with its Super Kingsize bed is a sumptuous cocoon where you can really relax, undisturbed by noise or too much light. The bathroom is well appRead moreointed and to have a full bath and wonderfully powerful and hot shower was bliss. If you want a quiet break and great views, this place is it! Hide
