Bring the whole pack together at this beautifully appointed stone cottage in Dent. This rural retreat has been thoughtfully finished to create a warm, welcoming escape, set in a peaceful corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sleeping eight across four inviting bedrooms, it's an excellent choice for larger families or groups of friends – especially those travelling with a four-pawed sidekick who'll love discovering new scents and scenery.
Step through the original stone porch into the spacious living area, where rustic charm shines through whitewashed walls and a statement wood burner tucked into an impressive inglenook fireplace. When hunger strikes, the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is ready for you to rustle up a hearty spread. Gather around the elegant dining table for shared meals or take dinner out into the rear garden for al fresco evenings while your furry pal lounges nearby. Later, return to the living area to warm up beside the crackling wood burner that Fido is sure to adore. A handy cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, four restful bedrooms await – two king-size rooms, a cosy double, and a twin – all offering calm spaces to unwind after days out with your loyal companion. There are two bathrooms – a sleek ground-floor shower room and an indulgent first-floor bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. Outside, a small front garden with a bench is just the spot for morning coffee while you watch the village wake up. To the rear, the second garden provides outdoor dining and sweeping countryside views, with plenty of room for your dog to potter while you relax. Parking is available at a pay and display car park in the village, within 200 metres
When it’s time to explore, wander the pretty, cobbled streets of Dent, sniff out treats at Sedbergh’s weekly market (5 miles), or venture to Kirkby Lonsdale (9 miles) to admire the iconic Devil’s Bridge. Keen walkers and their trail-trotting companions can head for the renowned Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (15 miles) for a day of fresh air, spectacular views, and plenty for curious canines to investigate.
