Take the time to enjoy the character of the cottage and spend cooler nights snuggled up by the fire and long walks exploring the nearby Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

This pretty property, conveniently located near the Yorkshire town of Barnsley, is the ideal place for exploration of Wakefield (7 miles), Leeds (17 miles) and Sheffield (19.5 miles). Sleeping three across two cosy bedrooms and with plenty of space for up to two pups to snooze, you could all soon be exploring the 500 acres of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park that can be accessed from your doorstep. But if you want to relax, the cottage is a comfy haven to enjoy curled up with your furry friends on cool nights.

This charming holiday home, which has a pretty stone hallway and dark exposed beams throughout, is a peaceful and comfortable retreat. The country cottage-style kitchen is the perfect spot for enjoying your breakfast looking over the garden, while bookworms will love sinking into the sofas in the lounge in front of the wood burner with a book, the pups curled up on the rug. At bedtime, snuggle into bed in one of the bright and airy bedrooms; wake up among soft, calming decor and head down to the garden with your morning coffee to watch the sun come out.
If you want a change of scenery from the sculpture park, head to Locke Park (6.5 miles) where the canine can enjoy a run around with frisbees or balls, and children under ten can enjoy the play area. Visit Wigfield Farm (8 miles) to see meerkats, cows, goats and more; enjoy a bite to eat in the cafe while the dogs have a drink outside. Wheata Wood (14 miles) is over 600 years old and is rich in history as well as wildlife; explore the number of bridle paths with your loved ones and try to spot all the different species of trees.

IF you do your own cooking on the hob your will need to take your own pots and pans. There is frying pans and a microwave though if that's your thing.

Ian was very welcoming and helpful. The ppty is 'tired' but clean, it is Ian's home, he stays in a caravan in the garden. There are no walks on your doorstep, unless you want to pay 9 to go into the sculptre prk. You have to drive if you want to walk. The noise from the motorway is deafening, it never stops, this is anything but a quiet place to reRead morelax. Bed is v comfrtable. The cottage is well equipped, very comfortable sofa.

The cottage is well situated for the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and surrounding countryside. It is nicely decorated and well equipped. The noise from the road and the motorway was only noticeable when outside. The garden belonging to the cottage was lovely, but it was a little confusing about which parts you could go into, as they were shared areas.
