Unique features, including an original cast-iron cooking range, set this Yorkshire holiday home apart from the rest, altogether making it an ideal destination for unforgettable escapes with man’s best friend. Sleeping four guests and two canine companions, this top dog property forms part of the 19th-century Thorney Hall, complete with lovely walled gardens where pets can play securely. It’s located in the village of Harmby, just a tennis ball’s throw from the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park (4 miles), unlocking endless opportunities for tail-wagging walkies and wildlife-seeking adventures.

This peaceful, single-storey holiday home has wellbeing woven into its very core, offering a restful base for humans and dogs alike. Spend slow, intentional evenings in the lounge, settling onto the sofa with your sleepy doggo curled up beside you and the Smart TV on. Next to it, the kitchen/diner is spacious and functional, with plenty of room to rustle up meals and serve a dog’s dinner. Both bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, are arranged on this floor alongside two bathrooms. Outside the property, an enclosed patio garden is furnished, allowing you to sit and sip a drink whilst Rover and Fido sniff around or play on the lawn. Private parking for one car is also available on the private, gated driveway.

The bustling market town of Leyburn (2 miles) acts as a great starting point for any North Yorkshire adventure, with canine-compatible walking routes including the Leyburn Shawl, which boasts panoramic views towards Wensleydale. Make your way further into this part of The Dales, exploring Aysgarth Falls (9.5 miles), enjoying walks along the River Ure, and visiting the vibrant village of Hawes (18 miles), with Fido sniffing out exciting Yorkshire wildlife with every step. Savour a day trip to Richmond (10.5 miles), strolling through streets of independently owned boutiques and stopping off at pet-welcoming pubs as you go.

A lovely place to stay! We particularly liked the cosy lounge and the large well-appointed kitchen. The location is perfect for anybody wanting to explore the Dales and beyond and to recharge your batteries in a peaceful and beautiful part of the world.

Very comfortable cottage in a great location, a short drive to Leyburn which has plenty of shops. Well equipped kitchen, we mostly cooked in and found everything we needed, plenty of crockery and cutlery, utensils and pans. This meant we could use the dishwasher efficiently. The beds were comfy, such a quiet area so we slept well.
