Tails will wag when you take your canine chums on endless walks through glorious Swaledale countryside, using this spacious and elegant cottage as your base. Sleeping eight people in four bedrooms, it’s a great choice for large groups, whether families or friends, and boasts spectacular views as well as a large garden for children and pups to play.
As you drive up the steep and winding road leading to a cattle grid and the property’s gravel drive, take time to appreciate the rural vistas all around. Inside, everything is provided for a tranquil and luxurious escape. The huge lounge has plenty of comfortable seating, a wood burner and a TV for cosy relaxation, or you may fancy a quiet moment in the snug with a book from the shelves. The spacious kitchen/diner has all mod cons, including a TV and American-style fridge/freezer. The ground-floor utility room includes laundry facilities and a shower, and is a great place to store your mutts’ food. Settle your pets for the night and explore the four fabulous bedrooms. The two king-size rooms both have en-suites, while the two super-king-size rooms share a gorgeous family bathroom and can both be converted to twins on request. Lead your pups outside and they can run endlessly on the huge lawn (with a low stone wall) as you BBQ on the patio, from which the views are extraordinary. This property also has the benefit of ample off-road parking.
Pull on your boots and bring happy hounds for walks from your door – the area is renowned for having some of the best in the country. Perhaps you’ll choose Alfred Wainwright’s ‘Coast to Coast’, or head to Gunnerside, Muker, Thwaite and Keld, all within 8 miles.
