Soak up the serenity of the Yorkshire Dales National Park when you stay at this exquisite stone hideaway in Low Row, near Richmond. Sleeping three guests, the two-bedroom bolthole, which offers dog-friendly accommodation, captures far-reaching views out across the rolling countryside and has outdoor seating where you can kick back, relax and absorb the tranquillity after your long walks.
Make your way inside via a hallway with a flagstone floor and space for wellies, walking boots and coats. The heart of the holiday home is an airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can settle down in front of the Smart TV or listen to music through the Bluetooth speaker. Whip up tasty meals for your party here too then gather round the table. There is also a useful utility or drying room downstairs, together with a family shower room. Head upstairs to a king-size bedroom and a single, with another single trundle bed beneath it. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor. Have a glass of wine out on the bench beside the cottage and watch as the sun goes down and stars come out in the summer. Parking for this property is on the road, subject to availability.
Prepare a picnic, lace up your walking boots and strike out on walks beside the River Swale or across the surrounding fells. Hike 1.5 miles to see the eery remains of the Old Gang Smelting Mill or 2.5 miles to the top of Calver Hill with its spectacular views. Drive 14.5 miles to spend the day in picturesque Richmond. Wander its charming streets, browse in its colourful shops and dine out in eateries serving fresh Yorkshire produce. Visit the castle while you are here and perhaps stroll 1 mile out of town to see the ruins of Easby Abbey.
