Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 7 - Harrogate, North Yorkshire

This stylish townhouse exudes contemporary country charm and features a secluded paved patio in a peaceful corner of Harrogate. This property is ideal for extended families or small groups of friends seeking a chic base for exploring North Yorkshire. Find tranquillity as you stroll the fragrant flower gardens of Harlow Carr (1.5 miles), before sinking onto the deep armchairs with a hot drink and a sweet afternoon treat.

Be welcomed into this tastefully designed property complete with clean lines, elegant original features, and richly pigmented soft furnishings. After a day of exploring, kick off your shoes and step along the stone hallway into the open-plan heart of the home. Rustle up a hearty post-adventure spread in the bespoke handless kitchen or shake up some pre-dinner drinks on the wooden worktops.

Slide on the bench-style seats, pop a bottle of bubbly, then delve into a feast around the long dining table. Prop open the patio doors to let the balmy summer breeze spill inside as you dine. After dinner, stretch out on the plump sofas and enjoy an evening of family games or unwind with a movie.

Upstairs, slip into the soft sheets of the spacious king-size, sleek single, or adaptable super-king-size/twin – each styled with opulent throw pillows and coordinated colours. Enjoy a peaceful morning brew in the enclosed patio garden or while away evenings blethering over a bottle of wine. Step back in time with a guided castle tour or discover the colourful calendar of events on offer at Ripley Castle (4.5 miles).

Duck into the independent stores, coffee nooks, and galleries set along James Street (within 1 mile) or saunter along light-dappled trails at Nidd Gorge (5 miles).
