Savour the splendour of this gorgeous, canine-friendly, woodland retreat in Yorkshire. Sleeping five guests, the three-bedroom hideaway sits among the trees near Egton, 5.5 miles from Whitby. Discover the natural beauty of the North York Moors together, head out to the coast and return to toast beside the wood burner or unwind in the fresh air.
Follow furry feet up four steps onto the deck at this timber-clad sanctuary. Stroll inside to find airy accommodation, with high vaulted ceilings and a boutique hotel-style finish. At the heart of the cottage is an open-plan lounge/diner, with an abundance of windows that bring the light pouring in. Open the doors on fine days or light the wood burner in chillier times so your chum can warm his paws while you enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. When puppy eyes plead for dinner, take him through to the kitchen to fill his bowl. Settle him for the night before resting your head on your own pillow. At ground-floor level, you have a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, plus a charming single room. The family bathroom is also here. A splendid, light-filled king-size, with a chic en-suite shower room, is on the top floor, together with a mezzanine relaxation space. Usher your waggy-tailed friend out onto the deck with you to keep you company as you dine, relax and watch the squirrels. Let him race about the shared dog exercise field. There is parking for two cars.
Venture 4.5 miles to explore the ruins of Mulgrave Castle and nearby woods with your happy hound. Drive 5 miles to Sandsend, where your pup can play freely on the Whitby end of the beach at any time of year. Pick up the Cleveland Way here too and stride out together in either direction.
