For those who don’t want to sacrifice luxury touches when seeking out dog-friendly accommodation in the Yorkshire Dales, enter this impeccable four-person holiday home. Ready to welcome your entire pack, the property invites one dog to stay alongside four human visitors, ideally suited to friends, family or two couples with a pet they simply cannot leave behind. Both pets and people will unearth a new leash of life whilst staying here, with the never-ending countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and neighbouring Cumbria ready to be sniffed out, walked and explored.

Superb styling, high ceilings and original beams make this single-storey property stand out from the crowd. As you settle into the open-plan living space, be sure to bring Fido’s bed, bowl and blankets from home, adding a touch of creature comfort for your pup to settle in with. With their bed firmly planted by the wood burner in the lounge, you can watch man’s best friend curl up and dream of walkies just gone, allowing you to cook, dine and relax freely with the Smart TV on. When bedtime calls, discover two magnificent king-size bedrooms, each with an en-suite. Outside, the property is completed by a patio space with seating for four. Care is to be taken with escape-prone pets as this area is unenclosed.

Enjoying a real rural position, you can lace up your walking boots and fill your pockets with pet treats before heading out on walks all around the property. The pretty River Lune (1.5 miles) leads down to Kirkby Lonsdale (6 miles), a scenic, history-packed market town surrounded by Lune Valley splendour. Heading deeper into the Yorkshire Dales, let Rover lead the way on an excursion up pikes and fells, summiting Whernside (14 miles) and Aye Gill (9.5 miles) to discover exceptional sights and scenery.

Very nice and comfortable cottage. Well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Location is in a lovely location, isolated and very quiet. This does mean that is accessed by long and very narrow roads however.

We had a super time at Howgills Barn, the location is perfect for a quiet scenic get away. The barn was as described, nice touch was a lit Christmas Tree, that was nice. the barn is so warm, the under floor heating was very welcome. The beds were very comfy and the the bathrooms lovely with good showers. The kitchen was very well equipped and alRead moreso benefitted from a good sized fridge/freezer and essential dishwasher! The communication regarding our booking was first class and we had no problems finding the barn. Kirby Lonsdale is a lovely small town... a gateway to finding and enjoying the surrounding areas. We would give this welcome break away five stars and hope to return again in the future. Hide

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location, yet close enough to shops, pubs etc The cottage is warm, kept beautifully clean and everything in it is good quality. The bath, with an abundance of hot water, was a real luxury after a day of walking !

We spent a very comfortable week here, despite the almost continuous rain. The barn is well-equipped, spacious and warm, and offers a secluded and peaceful location within reach of a wide variety of interesting places to visit, both in the Yorkshire Dales and the southern lakes.

Such a lovely place to stay. Peaceful location but close enough to amenities such as supermarket (Booths in Kirkby Lonsdale), walks and some great restaurants. Very well equipped accommodation, spacious and liked that it was on one floor. It was great to come back after a day walking and have a bath. Would have loved to sit with a 'sundowner' on thRead moree terrace but a little damp for that this week. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Hide

The cottage/barn was spotless with great decor and furnishings. The bedrooms very spacious and the bathrooms were almost as big! Stunning location with access to an enclosed field for our kids and dog to let off steam. Only 15 mins drive to Kirkby Lonsdale which is a nice little market town with a great fish and chip shop and old style sweet shop. Read moreBooths just outside town is a great little supermarket. We went to Ingleton Falls only 30 mins away which is a must on a nice day. 100% recommending this place and would definitely stay again. Hide

Howgills Barn is a lovely cosy cottage nestled in the hills, with everything you could need for a peaceful holiday. Well equipped, warm and very comfortable, it is the perfect get away, with walks from the door and only a short drive to Kirkby Lonsdale for local shops, pubs and restaurants.
