Get the whole gang together to celebrate a special occasion at this lovely cottage in the tranquil village of Horsehouse. Sleeping ten people across four bedrooms and welcoming three canine companions, this holiday home is ideal for large families or groups of friends exploring the Yorkshire Dales with their pups. During the day, take your dogs on a relaxing stroll along the banks of the River Cover, and in the evening, come home to the cottage’s pretty patio and indulge in a sizzling BBQ feast. Park in your private parking space (there’s room for three cars) and step inside this gorgeous retreat, where you’ll be greeted by a generous and elegantly furnished interior. Slip onto the sofa and take a moment to appreciate the lounge’s beautiful, exposed beams and cosy wood burner. When it’s time to eat, rustle up some dinner at the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner and gather everyone at the large table to share a sociable meal. Alternatively, open the French doors from the kitchen area to the garden, fire up the gas BBQ and enjoy a fun al fresco dinner. Please keep an eye on any children and pets near the garden stream. Afterwards, head to the second lounge to lose yourself in a good book while your pups snooze. At the end of the day, climb the stone stairs and you’ll find four lovely bedrooms – two king-size rooms, a twin, and a quadruple room with four single beds. Completing the layout, you’ll find two sleek family bathrooms on the same level. Take your dogs for a walk at Leyburn Shawl (8.5 miles) and you’ll be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views over Wensleydale. Follow the woodland trails, which are rich in wildflowers, red grouse and lapwings. Alternatively, visit Aysgarth Falls (10 miles) where dogs on leads can explore the tumbling waterfalls.

This was a gorgeous house and had a feeling of home from home anything you needed was there. We were a family of nine aged from 9 to 84 and had the most wonderful time. The location was to die for every window had a wonderful view of the hills, and surrounding features. The garden was lovely and we had some nice days to sit out.

The road to Horsehoue from Kettlewell is beautiful but it is a narrow, steep, winding and single track. The cottage is excellent. The heating works really well keeping the whole cottage comfortably warm with no cold spots. It is the best equipped cottage that we have stayed at. We loved the garden and the views. The village is very small with no Read moreshops but the pub is very friendly. We were a party aged from teens to eighties and we all loved it. Hide

This is a very spacious and well equipped house. The location is great - sitting at the table on the patio you view the hills around whilst breathing in the fresh air. We enjoyed Pizza Night at the pub in nearby Carlton and travelled to the King's Head in Masham for a family meal out. Obviously the house is well equipped for diy meals should you Read morewish. We enjoyed a great family holiday for four generations. Hide
