Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Harrogate, North Yorkshire

This one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment is situated less than a mile from Harrogate town centre. Light and airy and with plenty of space for a couple plus two dogs, it's a good choice for those wanting a home-from-home vibe and easy access to the spa town and all its amenities. Seven steps lead up to the apartment and inside, the rooms are conveniently distributed over one floor.

The decor is neat and comfortable throughout with soft furnishings and swathes of natural light in the lounge creating a tranquil atmosphere. After exploring the town, relax on the sofa and chat about your day. There's plenty of room for the dogs to stretch out too while an electric fireplace keeps things cosy on chilly nights.

Come dinnertime, a lovely dining table in front of a large window is perfectly placed for enjoying a delicious meal. For a more casual bite, step into the attractive kitchen and eat at the breakfast table. Leading off from the living area is the bedroom featuring a super-king-size bed.

Uncluttered and breezy, it's comfortably sized with homely extras including ambient lighting, storage space and heavy drapes. In the morning, take an invigorating shower before stepping into the garden. Enjoy coffee at the courtyard table or bask in the sun on the lawn.

There is also a front garden where the dogs can stretch their legs. Harrogate is a charming spa town brimming with historic houses, parkland and gardens. Immerse yourself in nature at Valley Gardens or Harlow Carr RHS Gardens or explore Knaresborough (4 miles) with its medieval castle and limestone cave.

For further hikes and walks, head to the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (10 miles).
