Head to this gorgeous cottage in Yorkshire’s Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to roam through glorious countryside with up to two of your furry friends by your side. This charming two-bedroom cottage in the picture-postcard village of Lofthouse sleeps up to four guests, as well as a pair of pets, and will make a magnificent base throughout your stay. Plan long walks from home and venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Return to sun yourselves in your courtyard garden or to rest weary paws by a crackling wood burner.
Enter this beautifully presented 19th-century cottage to light the wood burner in the lounge and perhaps watch a film of your choice while your contented canines doze quietly in the warmth. Prepare meals for the whole party in your stylish country kitchen and dine at the table while your hungry hounds enjoy theirs close by. Find a handy washing machine for damp doggy towels in the kitchen too. Make your way upstairs to your charming bedrooms. These both have en-suite bathrooms – one with a free-standing claw-foot bath, and TVs. Take the pups out for a stroll in the morning, feed them their breakfast, then enjoy yours out in the fresh air in your courtyard garden as you plan the rest of your fun-filled day.
Pull on your walking boots and call your excited furry friends to join you on a walk along the Nidderdale Way, a 53-mile-long circular path that follows the River Nidd. Please keep your pals on a lead in your immediate surroundings as there is livestock. Head off with them to Brimham Rocks, 11 miles away, where they can accompany you as you explore these rare natural rock formations. Hike some 2 miles to Ramsgill by the Gouthwaite Reservoir, where you can stroll by the water.
