Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Londesborough, North Yorkshire

Charming, storybook cottage nestled on a magnificent estate with easy access to the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Perfect for walkers and hikers alike, this traditional period property is a blissful bolthole for family getaways in the countryside. Stunning yellow stone exteriors, quirky wallpapers and homely furnishings are just some of the features that make this pretty property stand out.

The heart of the home is the cosy lounge, where you can rest weary feet in front of the fire on chilly nights in. Rustle up a tasty meal in the country-style kitchen and serve it in the spacious dining room, which boasts gorgeous views overlooking the estate. After dinner, enjoy the harmonious birdsong as you relax on the garden furniture and lap up fabulous views.

Both bedrooms benefit from king-size beds, one of which can be turned into twins if needed and adorned with classic period furniture for a truly unique experience. The cottage is a fabulous base for outdoor enthusiasts to explore the nooks and crannies of the superb Londesborough Park estate, where guests can freely walk through the fields of farm animals and spot red kites gliding above the sparkling ponds. Adventure further afield to the quaint rural town of Market Weighton (3 miles) and pick up delicious goodies from the regular farmers' market or enjoy a slice of Yorkshire Parkin at one of the many inviting cafes.

For a day of shopping, York is located 20 miles to the west, while Yorkshire's renowned coastline is just 30 miles east.
