Enjoy a sniff of the rural life in this beautiful cottage situated in a peaceful, pretty village just 5 miles from the historic centre of Richmond which is filled with dog-friendly facilities. Boasting a fantastic, enclosed garden with an outdoor dining area and luscious lawn, your pups can go barking mad stretching their legs at your home-from-home.
As you step inside the cottage, you’ll find a spacious hall which is well-equipped with storage for your coats, bags and shoes. From the hall, wander through to the cosy living room which is furnished with two comfortable sofas, a wood burner and a soft rug where Fido can take a nap in the warmth of the fire. At dinnertime, the kitchen has a quirky green range-style cooker where you can prepare a meal, whilst the dining room is a calming space filled with natural light from the window and a table seating six. Completing the downstairs floor is a handy utility room as well as a WC. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, the first of which is a king-size bedroom with matching furniture and an en-suite shower room. Next up is a double bedroom which also boasts an en-suite shower room, and the final double has use of the family bathroom. When the weather is nice, the traditionally styled garden is a haven to soak up the sunshine and breathe in the fresh, countryside air, with a BBQ and furniture prepared for al fresco dining.
Take a day trip to Richmond and you’ll find a plethora of places to dine, as well as a bustling Saturday market and a canine-friendly castle that offers some incredible views of the area. Venture out onto the North York Moors (17 miles) to explore the varied terrains on a patchwork of pathways that those on four legs will love just as much as those on two. Hudswell Woods (6 miles) is well worth a visit in search of the best sticks to fetch, changing in colour and scent throughout the year, but always offering a magical day out with picturesque picnic spots in abundance.
