Take your pets for a peaceful trip in North Yorkshire’s heart with a stay at this welcoming retreat on a working farm. The retreat is one of three stylish hideaways just 3 miles from Pickering and 5.5 miles from Malton, and a dream spot for couples and their four-legged companions. Walkies are easy nearby: you’re only 4 miles from North Riding Forest Park for woodland wanders and 8 miles from the scenic Howardian Hills.
Inside, the cottage has an open-plan ground floor, giving canine friends ample space to potter about. The living area flows into the kitchen and dining space, with bi-folding doors that open right out to the courtyard – perfect for pups who like to snooze in the sun while you sizzle up a feast for dinner. When it’s time to turn in, head upstairs to the calm, carpeted bedroom with its roomy king-size bed and skylights for stargazing. There's also a daybed available for a third guest if you need it. Completing the upstairs space is a sleek en-suite shower room. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden is a great little suntrap for dogs to sniff around safely while you relax with a cuppa and lap up those views. There’s off-road parking for one car, and with two other holiday properties on the farm, you might even make a few dog-loving friends.
Fancy a day by the sea? Scarborough (20 miles), Filey (24.5 miles) and Whitby (24 miles) are both great options – in summer, some dog restrictions apply. For thrill-seeking guests (on two legs), Flamingo Land Resort (2.5 miles) allows doggies on leads in all areas but the zoo. York’s cobbled streets and historic attractions are wonderful for if you fancy an urban day out (23 miles).
