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

This stunning, family-friendly cottage in Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales offers magnificent views over the valley, and contemporary decor throughout. Explore the nearby countryside on foot or by bike before returning home to unwind in this stylish home for four in front of the crackling wood burner. Stepping inside, you will discover a beautifully light and spacious living area on the first floor that offers a contemporary space to relax, and is also cosy enough for special nights huddled around the wood burner.

Charming, exposed beams, a glass balustrade, and spectacular views make this room a delight, while the Juliet balcony exposes you to a gentle breeze as you put your feet up. The kitchen area is compact with subtle tones and is well-equipped for you to rustle up family meals to serve at the breakfast bar or around the pride-of-place dining table. When you're ready for bed, rest and recuperate in one of the tastefully decorated bedrooms on the ground floor, including a lovely twin room.

Wake up in the king-size bedroom – served by an en-suite wet room – and treat yourself to a brew on your private, walled terrace where you can gaze upon the captivating views of the valley and fells beyond. Spend quality time with your friends and family at the local pub (3 miles), where you can clink glasses to celebrate your holiday and tuck into hearty plates of comfort food. The famous village of Askrigg is a mere 8 miles away and boasts a network of walking routes, shops, pubs and James Herriot's home from the fictional programme All Creatures Great and Small.

Local attractions also include Richard III's Middleham Castle, Hardraw Force, Calver Hill and Aysgarth Falls – all within a 15-mile drive.
