Up to two lucky pups can join your extended family or friends on a relaxing break at this house just outside Scalby in the North York Moors National Park. You’re spoilt for choice with the coast within easy striking distance as well as the nature, walks and cycle paths of the national park to enjoy, especially with your four-legged chums in tow. Luxurious touches include the hot tub, affording unrivalled countryside views by day and awe-inspiring star-gazing by night in this Dark Sky area.
This versatile property suits either an extended group of family or friends because it’s got lots of space for socializing, as well as spots to curl up with a book alone. The large lounge is bright and airy with comfortable seating, a TV and an open fire for those cooler nights. head through the doors to reach the generous kitchen/diner with all you’ll need for self-catering endeavours and a modern table seating eight. Through the sliding doors, there’s an attractive conservatory with cane furniture and views out to the hot tub on the furnished patio, with a further seating area beyond it amid extensive lawns. Plenty of scope for sniffing here! Two double and two twin bedrooms are to be found upstairs; both are calm spaces for a good night’s sleep.
You’ll probably spend hours in the hot tub – day and night. This is one place where the dogs aren’t welcome, so they’ll have to stay inside or keep their eye on you from the patio. Lead the way to adventure with some memorable hiking trips within the unspoilt countryside of the national park. Alternatively, throw a stick or play hide and seek with your hounds in Dalby Forest (8 miles). Discover the delights of Scarborough (4 miles), including its beach, ruined castle and the Scarborough Spa Cliff Lift, the UK’s oldest funicular cliff lift.
