Lap up some luxury when you stay in this beautiful cottage on the cusp of the Yorkshire Dales, a destination known for its spectacular walking opportunities and array of delicious local fare. Offering cosy sleeping spots for four humans and an accompanying canine, the property is brimming with home comforts including a roaring wood burner; a wonderful treat for the weary pawed after a busy day exploring.
Beneath the stone exterior is a comforting retreat with warm decor, timber beams and snug furniture, a sanctuary for curling up under a throw with a glass of wine and a good book. Light the wood burner and let sleeping dogs lie; at mealtimes, the fabulous country-cottage style kitchen is a treat for rustling up hearty suppers or enjoying a coffee at the large central island. Feast together in the elegant dining room, or head outside for a BBQ with views across the fells from the terrace. Bath time is an extravagant affair thanks to the upstairs bathroom with its freestanding bath and monsoon-style shower and, at bedtime, each bedroom is a sheer delight with crisp bedding and a TV. There’s also a wet room to take care of muddy paws.
Pack up a picnic and embark on your explorations, navigating Lower Wensleydale and Witton Fell and soaking up the breathtaking views as Fido chases rabbits in the undergrowth. Aysgarth Falls is an impressive sight, 10.5 miles away, or why not channel your inner historian with a visit to Bolton Castle, 9 miles away, or the ruins of Middleham Castle, 2 miles away? You’ll never be far from a friendly pub, so be sure to treat the entire pack to a slap-up lunch.
