Set within an incredibly romantic landscape with the ancient woodlands and soothing rivers of the Howardian Hills, this quaint cottage offers wild walks from your doorstep and fantastic locally sourced food served up in the local country pub. What’s more, your canine companion is welcome to come along for the adventure!

Welcoming you into the home, the cosy lounge has a three-seater sofa and an armchair positioned towards a TV, where relaxing evenings can be spent cuddled up together planning for the next day. Also within the open-plan living area is the compact but well-equipped kitchen, with both a breakfast bar to start the day and a dining table for those intimate meals for two. The master bedroom is neutrally furnished with a calming feel featuring a comfortable king-size bed and a wardrobe for storage. In addition, the second room has a single bed with a pull-out trundle bed which makes this property a great choice for small families. To kick-start the day, there is a double power shower in the modern family bathroom. Outside is a private garden where you can eat breakfast alfresco with your dog right by your side, soaking up the warm weather together.

The village of Crayke is a fantastic option for those looking to leave the car at home, with views stretching for miles over Yorkshire. Take a mile-long walk from the village to Dutch House for a gentle stroll or wander to the gastropub which welcomes dogs with open paws and serves locally sourced dishes. For longer trails, the North York Moors (11 miles) is an incredibly beautiful area to explore with an array of footpaths where those on two legs as well as four will enjoy stretching their legs and weaving through the various terrains.

Amazingly clean, homely and perfectly appointed with everything you should need for a very comfortable stay. Perfectly situated to explore the area, and plenty of places to eat and drink with a lovely pub within walking distance although take a torch and maybe a hi-vis if youre going after dark as drivers are a bit quick on the main road.
