This is a wonderful place to stay. Perfect for families and couples looking to relax and unwind but still looking to explore the beautiful countryside right from the property.

Situated in Thornton, the birthplace of the Bronte sisters, this contemporary bungalow is perfect for families, including four-legged members, seeking a comfortable base from which to explore both the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. Cross the Thornton Viaduct as you walk the Great Northern Railway Trail for a traffic-free stroll through the valley. Enjoy a gentle walk around tranquil Leeming Reservoir and enjoy spectacular views across the countryside or hike up to Ponden Kirk to discover the landscape that inspired Wuthering Heights.

With a handy boot room ideal for cleaning up muddy paws and mucky boots, your holiday home will get tails wagging from the moment you enter the door and hang up your leads. The contemporary open-plan living space has a stylish feel with bold colours and interesting artwork adorning the walls. After a busy day of adventures, unwind in the cosy sofa with your dog stretched at your feet enjoying the underfloor heating. Rustle up your evening meal in the well-equipped kitchen and sit around the elegant dining table chatting through highlights of your day. A second lounge with a sofa bed is perfect for curling up with a good book. When it’s time for bed, climb the iron staircase to the master suite with its king-size bed, en-suite shower room and seating area. A further twin bedroom can be found on the ground floor. Outside, relax in the hot tub while your hound enjoys a snooze in the enclosed suntrap garden.

Head to the pretty village of Haworth (6.5 miles) and sniff out the best walks through Bronte Country. Follow the footpaths through moorland and past ruined buildings as you head to Bronte Waterfall or discover miles of off-lead walks on Penistone Hill (7 miles) before seeking refreshments in one of the dog-friendly pubs and cafes.
