Exuding elegance and charm, this beautiful country-style cottage is a wonderful option for families looking to holiday with their four-legged friend. Each room has been thoughtfully considered with your needs in mind, including a private paddock just for your top dog to ensure they can run and play to their heart’s content. Venture out and about with a trip to the Howardian Hills AONB (5 miles) for endless hours of picturesque pathways and perfect picnic spots.
All on one level, this property benefits from a gorgeous open-plan living room/kitchen/diner, characterised by high vaulted ceilings and tasteful country-style furnishings throughout. Sink into one of the two sofas and let your canine curl up by the wood burner for a quiet evening watching films and reading books in the living space to truly relax. The wow-factor window in the kitchen fills the room with natural light which bounces off the white cabinets and creates a bright and inviting ambience in which you can cook and eat. There are two bedrooms in the cottage, one of which is a king-size room which enjoys a neutral colour palette and a set of double doors leading directly out onto the south-facing outdoor area. This room also benefits from an en-suite shower room. Completing the sleeping arrangements is a twin which reflects the decor of the rest of the property for a calming space in which to sleep. The family bathroom has a spacious double shower which is ideal for waking you up each morning. Outside, the suntrap garden and private paddock ensure there’s plenty of space to make the most of good weather, be it dining alfresco or playing in the field.
Search out the best local produce in the market town of Helmsley (10 miles), or head to the Walled Gardens which welcome dogs in all areas to soak up the natural beauty of the curated plant collections. Why not take a trip into the city of York to learn about the local history, visit the Minster and stop off at a paw-friendly tea room to refuel? Another option is to immerse yourself in the wild woodland at North Riding Forest Park (27 miles), which is sure to set tails wagging with the mixture of scents to sniff and sticks to fetch.
