For a Yorkshire holiday with your pets in a peaceful village setting, stay at this cottage in pretty Skeeby. You’ll have a dog-friendly community-run pub serving local food and ales right next door, helping you feel part of village life from the moment you arrive. The cottage is surrounded by the stunning landscapes of Swaledale and the Yorkshire Dales – perfect for dogs who love a good sniff and leg stretch. This property is ideally suited as a romantic retreat for couples, along with their canine companion.
This traditional terraced cottage is brimming with charm from the moment you arrive. The cosy living room features characterful beamed ceilings, along with floral armchairs and vintage travel posters to whet your appetite for days out. It’s a lovely spot to unwind while your dogs nap by the wood burner. A few steps lead down to the farmhouse-style kitchen, which has stone flooring, a range cooker and a round wooden table for easy-going mealtimes. Upstairs are two beautifully presented bedrooms – a double and a small double. The shower room has striking green tiles and a corner shower for daily washes. Outside, the garden is a real treat for you and your dogs, with plenty of space for everybody to stretch out. There’s a peaceful seating area at the top for soaking up countryside views and a BBQ for al fresco meals.
Nearby, the historic market town of Richmond (2.5 miles) contains cobbled streets, independent shops, tearooms and riverside walks, all of which are discoverable with your pet alongside you. Dogs on leads are also welcome in the outdoor areas of the town’s impressive Norman castle. Stroll through the Market Place, visit the farmers’ markets or spend some time at The Station, a restored Victorian railway building with a cinema, art gallery, brewery and ice cream parlour.
