Rest and relax in this charming Wensleydale hideaway, an annexe to the owner’s property, and ideal for families, friends and two canine companions. Perfectly placed in the peaceful village of Thornton Rust, you are within the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park. Thornton Rust offers opportunities for hounds to go for walks, including the moderately challenging Addleborough Hike, which affords sweeping views of the valley. Gentler paths lead from the National Park Visitor Centre to the magnificent waterfalls at Aysgarth.
This delightful two-storey cottage features exposed beams, deep-set windows and a wood burner creating a distinctly country ambience. Follow your hounds into the large, open-plan living area. Whip up tasty treats in the farmhouse-style kitchen, which has all the necessary appliances and gather at the dining suite for unhurried meals and after-dinner board games. Afterwards, relax on the soft seating in front of the Smart TV and enjoy a movie night. When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs, where you’ll find a stylish family bathroom, a cosy twin bedroom, and an attractive double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Outside is a gravelled courtyard and a large garden – shared with the owners. Relax on a choice of seating areas that come with wonderful, far-reaching views. Fire up the BBQ for evening al fresco feasts on your private patio area with a table and chairs. Private parking is available for two cars.
Other great days out for four-legged friends include: the historic ruins of Middleham Castle (11.5 miles); Leyburn (10 miles), which is famous for its handsome town square and auction centre and just outside is The Leyburn Shawl Walk, perfect for off-lead action; and West Burton (4 miles) for a gentle riverside walk and paddling for your pups on the way to Cauldron Force.
