Treat yourself to an escape in this chocolate-box cottage in Richmond, North Yorkshire. This stylish, two-storey property is perfect for families, especially the four-legged members. An enclosed garden, countryside views and cosy social spaces mean your dogs will relax in pure comfort, not to mention the excellent walkies to be had.
Lap up your rural surroundings as you venture up the garden path and step inside your homely entrance. Find yourselves inching towards the kitchen/diner for a hot cup of tea and notice that the sapphire-blue cupboards are generously equipped with everything you could possibly need. The lounge is ultra-cosy for humans and hounds alike, with deep, pillowy seating, a relaxing blue and yellow palette, and a Smart TV for evenings in front of the film. The rear of the cottage overlooks incredible views of the rolling Yorkshire countryside, suitable for late-night tipples and games of fetch, and even houses a table and chairs for watching the sunrise. The bedrooms are just as delightful. Tuck in your pooches, then head upstairs, where you will be greeted with two high-quality bedrooms, a super-king-size zip-and-link and a double room. Both boast soft, sinkable mattresses for a great night's rest. Completing the interior is a well-appointed family bathroom.
For those evenings where you don't feel like cooking, the local pub is just 100 metres away. Activity-hungry pooches will love scouting out the village of Ravensworth (1.5 miles) before adventuring around the ruins of the medieval castle or following the many waymarked walking routes around spectacular landscapes. Raby Castle's Deer Park is 13.5 miles away and leads you through 200 acres of lush parkland and impressive views of the castle fortress. Finish off with a cappuccino and slice of cake in the cafe.
