If a peaceful working farm sounds like a setting your pups will enjoy, stay at this delightful Yorkshire cottage just 3 miles from Pickering. It has footpaths galore to discover nearby – wonderful for your canine sidekicks. You’ll also be within easy reach of the North York Moors (12 miles) and North Riding Forest Park (4 miles), meaning you’ll have no trouble sniffing out a good walk. With one king-size bedroom, this home would suit a solo traveller or couple, with up to two canine companions also welcome.
This bright and welcoming home is one of a trio of similar properties. It has a beautifully finished open-plan space with big bi-folding doors bringing the outside in – fab for your pets to wander in and out as they please. In the evenings, settle into some quiet time with a film on the Smart TV before heading upstairs, where you’ll find a gorgeous king-size iron bed and en-suite shower room. The private courtyard garden is a real treat for dogs, who can potter safely while you kick back with a drink and take in the farmland views. There’s private off-road parking for one car.
Walkies start right from your doorstep or hop in the car to visit local favourites like the Howardian Hills (8 miles) or Flamingo Land (2.5 miles), which has some lovely dog-friendly areas (dogs not permitted in the zoo). The atmospheric ruins of Rievaulx Abbey are just under 20 miles away and well worth the visit. For sandy paws and sea air, drive to the dog-friendly coast at Whitby (24 miles, head to Tate Hill Beach and Upgang Beach for all-year-round doggie frolics).
