This romantic hideaway for two humans and one hound enjoys a quiet location, surrounded by the picturesque grounds of Temple Newsam Estate. With a wonderful collection of dog walks to explore directly from the holiday cottage, the period property makes a fantastic base for couples who love getting out and about in nature. Adding a touch of unique charm, the home features a bedroom within a beautifully restored former dovecote, blending characterful period elements with modern comfort.
From the courtyard, steep external steps lead to the inviting, farmhouse-style retreat. Store dog-walking gear in the lobby before moving through to the spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with its vaulted ceiling and exposed trusses. In one corner, you’ll find a sleek kitchen area for preparing delicious dinners for two (and treats for the pup!), which you can share at the cute table under the window. After dinner, retire to the plush, velvet sofa to watch the Smart TV whilst Rover dozes at your feet. The separate, king-size bedroom is located in the characterful original dovecote and enjoys tranquil views across the estate’s orchard. A stylish shower room completes the accommodation. From the road opposite the property, a footpath/bridlepath leads directly to Temple Newsam Estate. The property has private parking for one car.
The Temple Newsam Estate is a paradise for four-pawed explorers, with sweeping parklands and ancient woodlands to sniff and explore, as well as nature trails and formal gardens. Other nearby popular dog-walking areas include Rothwell Country Park (6.5 miles) and Skelton Lake (5 miles). There are some fantastic paw-friendly attractions in and around Leeds, highlights of which include Harewood House, Kirkstall Abbey, and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, all within 20 miles of the holiday home.
