Let Lottie the labrador have a taste of the high life when she joins you for a group stay at this luxurious, Grade II-listed, Georgian country house near Richmond in Yorkshire. Sleeping 15 guests, the eight-bedroom abode sits in elegant landscaped gardens. Explore the spectacular Yorkshire Dales, then return to the sumptuous accommodation of the house to relax together beside the wood burner or an open fire.
Tear yourselves away from the exquisite gardens to lead Lottie up the stone steps and into her palatial temporary home. Take her into the impressive kitchen/diner to serve her meals and prepare yours. Congregate for celebratory feasts in the magnificent dining room, with its open fire, then pass pleasant evenings in front of a second open fire in the opulent drawing room. Lottie might also like to recline on the carpet in the snug, while you watch the Smart TV in the glow of the wood burner. Also downstairs are a boot room and WC. Show her to her bed, then make your way to the upper floors. Here you have a super-king-size bedroom, with a gorgeous en-suite bathroom and separate WC, plus two king-sizes and two doubles, two of which have en-suite shower rooms. There is also a family bathroom. A family bedroom, with two double beds and a single, plus a stunning bathroom, are on the top floor. Dine outside under the gazebo after taking Lottie to race about the beautiful grounds. Gather round the firepit together as the sun goes down. There is ample private parking.
Head 3 miles into Richmond to explore the picture-postcard town walk beside the River Swale. Easby Abbey, 4 miles away, is a great spot for picnicking with pets. Make a trip to Aysgarth Falls, 19 miles away, with its woodland and waterside dog walks.
