Enjoy a memorable escape in this magnificent manor house, set down a quiet, private lane in the hamlet of Thorpe Audlin. The property sleeps ten guests and two hounds, and is the perfect retreat for family gatherings and getaways with friends. There are some beautiful walks from the front door, and you’ll also be within 5 miles of Brockadale Nature Reserve and Frickley Country Park – both popular dog-walking spots.
The elegant abode is bursting with period features and luxurious touches to make your stay feel extra special. Enter into the grand hallway, which houses a table for ten – the ideal setting for dinner parties and family celebrations. After dinner, gather in the welcoming lounge, which boasts views of the garden and an array of comfortable seating. The expansive kitchen has ample space for the dog beds, as well as all the equipment needed to cater for a large group and a handy central island for preparing delicious feasts. A beautiful double bedroom completes the ground floor. A sweeping, Victorian staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find four exquisitely decorated bedrooms (one with an en-suite shower room), all with views across the garden and surrounding woodland. An opulent family bathroom and a separate shower room round off this gorgeous property. Outside, enjoy al fresco meals on the terrace overlooking the pond, followed by a soak in the bubbling hot tub or a gentle stroll with the pups through the tranquil, shared grounds.
Just 4.5 miles away is the historic market town of Pontefract, where you and the hounds can explore the fascinating castle ruins and potter around the independent boutiques and open-air markets. Alternatively, journey to the picturesque World Heritage village of Saltaire (29 miles) to admire the Italianate architecture and learn about the village’s rich history. The city of York (just over 30 miles) makes a great doggy day out. Hop on one of the paw-friendly tour buses or river cruises to explore the sites, including the magnificent cathedral.
