This superb property, situated in a small hamlet within the North York Moors, is the perfect little bolthole for a romantic getaway – with the dogs in tow, of course! Sleeping you both in a beautiful wrought iron double bed, this little holiday home is an opportunity to relax and unwind. Whether your idea of taking time out is spending long mornings in bed or going for walkies around the stunning countryside, you can have it all here. The 3.5-mile Farndale Daffodil Walk starts just 25 metres from your front door and features charming valley views alongside the daffodils between mid-March and April.
The cottage, which is surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills, makes the most of the open-plan space. High ceilings and large windows make it bright and airy, while industrial-style touches mixed with more traditional pieces creates a warm and cosy contemporary feel. There’s everything you need in the stylish kitchen to cook up a storm for your beau and eat at the dining table. Spend evenings snuggled up in front of the wood burner with the pups snoozing at your feet or sit out on the patio with a glass of wine while the hounds enjoy exploring the enclosed garden.
The area surrounding the property is a walker’s delight. Try parts of the Cleveland Way National Trail, which starts in Helmsley (12 miles) and follows a horseshoe-shaped line around the moors. Nearby village Hutton-le-Hole (5 miles) boasts gift and sweet shops as well as a pub but also offers picturesque walks such as the 4-mile circular route that takes you through Lastingham. Dogs are welcome at the Helmsley Walled Garden (12.5 miles), where you can take strolls around 5 acres of pretty blooms and even buy plants to take home.
