Discover this hidden gem in the heart of Leyburn, a bustling market town in Wensleydale known as the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. With a cosy crackling wood burner and private courtyard garden, this traditional stone-built cottage is ready to receive couples or a family alongside one or two canine companions at any time of the year.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a spacious hallway, setting the tone for the tasteful and stylish interior. Enter the fully equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances and a convenient breakfast bar. The kitchen seamlessly flows into the inviting lounge area, where a wood burner beckons furry friends to snooze in its glow. A Smart TV is there for entertainment, while a built-in desk creates a handy workspace for those needing to stay connected. Completing the ground floor is a shower room. Head upstairs to discover two bedrooms. The beautiful king-size room boasts plush furnishings, while the twin zip-and-link room offers flexibility. Another bathroom with a bath tub promises a relaxing soak at the end of the day. Outside, a private courtyard beckons, serving as a sun-soaked spot where you and your four-legged friends can bask in the Yorkshire sunshine.

Leyburn provides all the essentials right on your doorstep, including independent grocery shops, dog-friendly country pubs, bakeries, and delightful tearooms. On Fridays, join the locals in the main square to savour the finest regional produce at the farmers' market. Set out to explore the area on foot, with various routes departing from the town centre in all directions towards tail-wagging adventures. Don’t miss Leyburn Shawl, a limestone prominence offering expansive views across the picturesque hills of Wensleydale. For steam train enthusiasts, a ride on the heritage Wensleydale Railway (400 metres) offers both humans and hounds a journey back in time through the spectacular Yorkshire countryside.

From the moment we walked through the front door we fell in love with the cottage. Its a great size and has some lovely details. The log burner was perfect and really efficient. The kitchen had everything we needed plus! We loved the downstairs bathroom, great for washing down muddy paws after a walk! The double bedroom was a great size and we slepRead moret well. We didnt use the twin bedroom but it looked lovely. The Golden Lion was a great place to meet the locals and Leyburn was amazing! Hide

Super week at Goose Cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped. The location is perfect for exploring the area. Our dog enjoyed walks along The Shawl and we visited the Druid's Temple near Masham which was a lovely walk too. Leyburn has good local shops and places to eat. We ate at the Bolton Arms...portions were Read morehearty (!). We also enjoyed a curry at Royal Spice. Would definitely recommend a stay at Goose Cottage. Hide
