Sitting on an estate in a pocket surrounded by national parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoy a getaway to this scenic part of the country. North Yorkshire is a brilliant destination for families, friends and pups, and this charming bolthole has all the character, elegance and creature comforts you need after days exploring. Sleeping eight, stock your cupboards with goodies from local farm shops before bubbling the night away in the private hot tub together.
The beautiful grounds will set tails wagging as soon as you arrive at this pretty farmhouse. Find a spot to hide away treats in the kitchen/diner where you can gather at the table over a cup of tea before sidling into the lounge to relax beneath the striking vaulted ceiling. Post-adventure, find your four-pawed friends curled up by the open fire and join them for a moment of downtime in this beautifully characterful and welcoming space. Sit with a tipple in the communal courtyard or soak in the hot tub of your private garden before turning in for the night. After a freshen up or a bath in one of two bathrooms, drift off in the three ground-floor bedrooms or upstairs in the twin. There is off-road parking.
Venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park and treat all the family to waterfall walkies and a stick chase at Cotter Force (29 miles). For a picnic spot with panoramic views, visit Great Shunner Fell (26.5 miles) via the Pennine Way and you will reap the benefits of your ascent at the top. Your bolthole sits 4 miles from the heart of Richmond where you can dine out, stock your cupboards with tasty treats or visit the castle for a slice of history.
