For families and friends - including four-legged ones - seeking a rural retreat, this two-bedroom single-storey property enjoys a peaceful location on the edge of the tranquil village of Church Houses. Enjoy countryside walks straight from the doorstep through the ‘Daffodil Dale’ and along the banks of the River Dove.

Retaining original features including exposed beams, stonework and double-height ceilings, this lovely former stable has a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a space for you to unwind and rest your paws. Sink into one of the plump sofas in the lounge/diner and lose yourself in the latest bestseller as your hound snoozes at your feet. Cook up tasty meals in the sleek kitchen area to enjoy at the stylish dining table. There are two restful bedrooms to retire to at the end of a long day, one double and a king-size, both with exposed stone walls and underfloor heating. Remember to pack your pet’s bedding so they get a good night’s sleep too. There is also a shower room within the property. Outside, let your pup explore the large garden while you sit back with a glass of wine on your private patio.

Situated in the beautiful valley of Farndale, there are wonderful walks straight from your cottage’s front door for you and your canine companion to discover through the heather-covered countryside. Stroll to the dog-friendly village pub for an early evening drink or refreshments after a long walk.

A really beautiful cottage in a picturesque setting. We spent 2 lovely weeks in The Stables, and we will definitely be returning. The Feversham Arms opposite produces very tasty homemade food. Just what we needed after a long walk.

Great location, lovely accommodation and great proximity to a lovely friendly pub with good food. WiFi was almost there but given where you are it's sort of obvious as is absolutely no phone signal. Our only issue (and it a personal preference thing) was the sofa was way too low, nothing a few cushions can't sort. I'm sure we'll return again.

Spotlessly clean, well located for the North Yorks Moors and coast and a friendly pub within 10 yards of the property. Perfect for a dog friendly holiday.

A very enjoyable week spent at the cottage - we were very lucky with the weather which makes a huge difference. The location of the property is amazing and easy access to most areas of interest - plenty of parking which is always useful and a welcome hamper with the essentials which after a long drive is appreciated. There is a pub a very short disRead moretance from the property which was very handy but a little disappointing if being honest and much nicer pubs within easy driving distance.. Hide
