Stride straight out on superb dog walks when you stay at this impressive holiday home in the Yorkshire Dales. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom retreat will set tails wagging with the myriad of scenic routes available right from the doorstep. Offering generous inside space and a lovely, south-facing garden, the exquisite, period property at Burnsall, 10.5 miles from Skipton, is the perfect place for large groups with four-legged friends.
Enter this picture-perfect, three-storey cottage to find accommodation with an abundance of character and charm. Usher your canine companion into the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, with its flagstone floor and AGA, to top up his water bowl and unpack the fresh produce you have bought. Dish up his dinner and prepare treats for everyone else in here too. While away winter evenings together in the comfortable lounge, with the wood burner roaring as you watch your favourite show on the Smart TV and your chum dozes. There is also a snug where you and your four-legged friend can relax together. The sunroom, where doors can be opened up to the garden so your pal can pad outside, doubles as a dining room. Settle him downstairs for the night before you make your way up to the beautiful bedrooms. These include two super-king-sizes, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a king-size on the first floor. There is also a family bathroom here. Another king-size, which benefits from an en-suite WC, is on the floor above. Let your pup explore the pretty courtyard garden on sunny days. Light the BBQ and dine outside together on fine evenings.
Lace up your walking boots, grab the dog lead and follow a section of the Dales Way with your happy hound. Venture 13 miles to Malham and from here follow footpaths to Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar.
