Although the accommodation and location were excellent, in our view, this is not a dog friendly holiday. The dogs were not allowed in any of the bedrooms. They were allowed in the kitchen/living area only. Of course the dogs enjoyed the garden and the paddock.

The Stables cottage is very cosy and warm, set in a beautiful location just outside Malton. It is also great for dogs staying there as there is a large field for them to play in just by the cottage which is fully enclosed. The hosts are always very welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It is also ideal for visiting lots of places Read moreof interest plus only about an hour away from the coast.

Set in a stunning and peaceful location. The Stables at Close Farm did not disappoint. The enclosed safe paddock was a bonus for our dog. Very well equipped and spacious property.
