Enjoy tail-wagging walks in the Holmedale Valley from this charming country cabin. Sitting on a working farm between Ravensworth and Richmond, it features a companionable open-plan social space where friends or family and a pair of four-pawed pals can unwind by the wood burner. Visit the village inn or cook alfresco before basking in the hot tub – a fire pit will keep your whole pack cosy.
A decked veranda invites you into this striking rural retreat; deposit outdoor gear and dog leads in the entrance hall then step straight into an open-plan social space where wood-lined ceilings and rounded timber walls create a welcoming ambience. In one corner, the chic kitchen houses all the essentials of home. Close by, the dining suite is complemented by a breakfast bar. A contemporary wood burner will keep paws and toes toasty as you all stretch out in the lounge area; a Smart TV offers home-style entertainment. You’ll find a TV in each of the three bedrooms too – choose between a king-size room with patio doors and its own en-suite shower room, a double bedroom and a small double that would be ideal for children. Completing the convenience for all is a bathroom and a utility room with laundry equipment and space to store the dog beds. Step outside and a lawn, veranda and gravelled areas wrap around the cabin. Enjoy countryside views as you prepare al fresco feasts, lay back in the hot tub and snuggle by the fire pit beneath unspoilt starscapes.
Stroll just half a mile to Ravensworth to savour hearty fare at the village inn and see the ruins of a 14th-century castle, or head 5 miles south to Richmond to sniff out peaceful Friary Gardens, take a turn around the iconic castle or enjoy a pleasant stroll beside the River Swale to the evocative remains of Easby Abbey. If none of that tires out the dogs, tackle the section of Alfred Wainwright’s famous Coast to Coast route between Richmond and Reeth (11 miles).
