Surrounded by blissful countryside and wonderful walkies, this characterful, traditionally styled cottage is a fantastic base for families of humans and hounds looking for a relaxing retreat. Located in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just a mile from the idyllic Gouthwaite Reservoir, you can let your dogs lead the way to adventure without having to travel far from your doorstep.
The living room area is a cosy affair, filled with two sumptuous sofas arranged around the showstopping exposed stone wall housing a wood burner to keep you warm on chilly winter evenings. Your pups will love taking a snooze on the rug beside the fire whilst you kick back and relax with a film on the TV. A smaller snug room is also on offer for when you need a little time alone to get lost in a good book. At the heart of the property is the generously sized kitchen/diner which is a charming area filled with natural light with country styling. Dual aspect windows offer lovely views whilst you cook up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen whilst the dining table is an excellent location to sit down for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alternatively, a formal dining room can be found next door with exposed beams across the ceiling and another feature fireplace adding to the character of the room. Completing the ground floor is a boot room where you can clean muddy paws before a chilled-out evening, and a utility room for convenience. Upstairs you’ll find the selection of bedrooms which are split between two wings. Bedroom one is the master which has been thoughtfully decorated with a king-size bed, plenty of storage and an en-suite for added luxury. What’s more, this room also boasts direct access to the tiered garden. In addition, you’ll be able to take your pick from the tasteful twin room with an en-suite, a second bedroom with a king-size bed and the final double bedroom. Shower rooms upstairs and downstairs mean that there are plenty of options for all the family. Outside, the garden is split over multiple levels with options for al fresco dining, garden games and space for doggos to burn off their energy before bed.
There are a selection of truly breathtaking walking routes in the local area, including a visit to How Stean Gorge (8 miles) where trees envelop the limestone chasm with an array of scents to sniff and sticks to fetch. The on-site cafe has been designed to maximise the views with floor-to-ceiling windows which have the ‘wow’ factor, offering a picturesque place to sit and refuel with Fido at your feet. To learn of Nidderdale’s heritage and history, pay a visit to Pateley Bridge (2 miles) to stroll through the beautiful high-street, visit the running River Nidd or visit the local park for a run around.
