This luxurious escape is in the picturesque riverside village of Naburn, just over 4 miles from York. Sleeping eight guests and three furry pals, the large period property is ideal for special family get-togethers or holidays with friends, with a choice of social spaces both indoors and outside. York Marina is 0.5 miles away, offering boat hire or cruises into the city.
The redbrick holiday retreat has been beautifully decorated and furnished, combining original features with vibrant furniture and accessories. Inside, a welcoming hallway with a grand piano greets you, along with a utility space for storing all your dog-walking gear. Just off the hallway is a cosy snug/playroom, and there’s also a magnificent lounge with plush velvet sofas and a striking beamed ceiling. Enjoy movie nights here, gathered around the Smart TV, with the hounds curled up next to the roaring wood burner. This room opens onto a stunning kitchen/diner extension, with high-end appliances, glossy concrete worktops, and plenty of space to set up the dog beds. At one end is a large, walnut dining table and bi-fold doors allow indoor/outdoor living in summer months. Completing this space is an inviting corner sofa and a useful pantry. Upstairs, four stunning bedrooms await, with French-inspired interiors and luxurious linens. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and there’s also a family bathroom on this level. Directly outside the kitchen/diner is a sunny patio area with furniture and a BBQ for outdoor entertaining. Beyond this is an enclosed, raised lawn where your canine buddies can burn off steam. A gated driveway accommodates four cars.
From Naburn, a 4.5-mile traffic-free stroll along the river (or a scenic boat trip) brings you to the historic city of York, with its medieval city walls and stunning botanic gardens. The surrounding landscape is a paradise for keen walkers, with the Howardian Hills and Nidderdale National Landscape within 30 miles. Nearby paw-friendly attractions include Castle Howard (19 miles) and the National Trust’s Beningbrough Hall (12 miles).
