Set in the peaceful village of Harmby, this charming stone cottage will suit families and friends - including four-legged ones - seeking a comfortable base from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales. Stroll to the village’s hidden waterfall, a pretty cascade tumbling between shady trees or take the lead on a hike across Harmby Moor. Sniff out your favourite path through Givendale Woods (2.5 miles) or walk to neighbouring Middleham (3 miles) to explore the medieval castle.
Your beautiful holiday home has a warm and inviting feel, decorated in neutral tones with wooden details and co-ordinating soft furnishings. The spacious entrance hall with its flagstone floor is ideal for drying muddy paws after a long walk. Share family meals in the kitchen/diner, a bright and airy room looking out onto the garden. Relax in front of your favourite TV programme in the comfortable lounge as your hound snoozes in front of the wood burner. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs where you will find the two pretty bedrooms, a king size and a twin. Your bathroom is on the ground floor. Outside, enjoy your morning coffee on your private patio as your pup stretches their legs.
There are walks straight from the doorstep through the village and along quiet country lanes. Stroll to the dog-friendly village pub for an early evening drink or some refreshment after a long countryside walk. Take the lead with a day walking the Yorkshire Dales (5 miles) or through the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (5 miles), discovering the scenic landscape. Further afield, explore the historic town of Ripon (19.5 miles) where you can enjoy peaceful walks along the canal, or follow the Ripon Sanctuary Way discovering the eight sanctuary markers around the town.
