Whisk your other half and up to two lucky pups away to this rural retreat 1.5 miles from Staithes amid beautiful countryside. You’re guaranteed peace and quiet if you want to recharge and relax in this tranquil location, but with wonderful walks from your doorstep, it’s a great opportunity to spend quality time with your pack. This property is a former barn on a small complex with other converted properties, so it has a small private patio and shared use of a games room and a 4-acre paddock.
This one-bed stone cottage has an impressive double-height lounge/diner with comfortable seating, a table for four and a cosy wood burner to help you and Fido snuggle in comfort. This is all under a vaulted and beamed ceiling for added character. Around the corner is the small but perfectly formed galley kitchen. Tiled flooring throughout downstairs is a great choice with potentially mucky paws, just ensure you have plenty of towels to hand! Upstairs, the double bedroom is on a mezzanine level under the same beamed apex ceiling. Settle old scores over a game of snooker in the shared games room. Outside, enjoy a tipple on your own patio or in the shared paddock.
The picturesque fishing village of Staithes is 1.5 miles away with lovely, cobbled streets to explore as well as independent shops, galleries, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The harbour is picture-perfect and there’s a quiet little stretch of beach here for dogs to play fetch in and out of the sea. You need to get a photo at Dog Loup Alley, allegedly the narrowest street in the world at 18 inches wide. Whitby is 11.5 miles south if you want to discover a bigger seaside town or the North York Moors National Park is inland if you fancy a change.
