Enjoy the rural setting of this homely cottage for two plus your four-legged friend; it’s close to Ripley, Harrogate and Ripon and beautiful country walks. The cottage is all on one level and has an open-plan living/sleeping space, an enclosed garden with a BBQ, and there’s stabling available for your horses.
The cute cottage has been designed with comfort in mind and is equipped with everything you need. Step into the large open-plan room with a high ceiling, gorgeous wooden beams, and great views. The lounge area has sofas, a TV and DVD, books and games, and the kitchen/diner area has everything you need to self-cater, and a dining table and chairs for eating in. There’s a super-king-size bed (which can be made up as two singles on request), and a separate shower room. Store your coats and boots in the hall, where there’s also a vanity sink and a utility room. On sunny days, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco in the enclosed garden with farm animals for neighbours in the nearby fields. If you want to take your horses away with you stabling can be arranged and the owners will happily introduce you to the farm’s residents too!
