A colourful country cottage surrounded by rolling green countryside in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, this homely hideaway is the perfect retreat for outdoorsy families and groups of friends with a tufty-pawed pal in tow. Get tails wagging as you bound along dense forest paths and wooded gorges to the tumbling waters of the Ashgill Force waterfall, then stretch out weary paws by the wood burner for a well-earned snooze.
This vibrant property boasts a sleek interior with traditional flagstone flooring, plush soft furnishings, and cheerful shades of colour. Kick off muddy shoes and unclip harnesses at the door and then rest up in the inviting lounge where you can sip a warm drink and tuck into some nibbles in front of the crackling wood burner. Potter in the charming farmhouse kitchen and treat your hungry hound to his supper before pouring some drinks and indulging in a celebratory meal gathered around the wooden dining table. Make your way upstairs to the sleeping areas, consisting of an airy single and a spacious king-size room, or ascend a steep cottage-style staircase to the twin room styled in earthy tones. Perch on the outdoor bench and drink in the sweeping vistas from the grassy garden while Fido sniffs and explores or get lunch sizzling on the BBQ.
Saunter through the charming streets of Hawes and scope out the best local watering hole for a post-adventure round with the hound, within 200 metres. Park up at Low Blean Farm, 4 miles, and embark on a scenic scamper to Semer Water Nature Reserve, 4 miles, for magnificent views of the glistening lake and the surrounding Wensleydale Valley. Cultured canines can load up on local history with a stroll through the grounds of Middleham Castle, 19 miles.
