Have a holiday to remember when you stay at this magical cottage in Yorkshire. Sleeping three guests, and offering dog-friendly accommodation, the two-bedroom bolthole nestles in Grewelthorpe, 6.5 miles from Ripon, on the fringes of the magnificent Yorkshire Dales. Accessed from the rear of the hideaway are picturesque Hackfall Woods, where there are footpaths to follow and waterfalls to picnic beside. The cottage itself has a wood burner to toast beside and a sun-soaked patio where you can unwind in the fresh air.
Let yourselves in to discover a warm welcome in the friendly, colourful lounge/kitchen/diner. Settle in here on the leather seating, while the wood burner crackles in the background. Choose a book from the shelves or find a good film on the Smart TV to watch together. When mealtimes beckon, head through to the compact but well-designed kitchen to whip up some tasty dishes for your party to sit down to at the table in the main room. As day turns to night and you feel ready to lay your head on your pillow, make your way up to the first floor of the cottage. Here you will find a comfortable double bedroom, as well as a single. There is also a family bathroom up here where you can recline in a steaming bath after your exhilarating walks or cycle rides. Soak up the sunshine on your private patio. Cook dinner out on the BBQ here on fine summer evenings.
Make trips into Ripon to stock up on local produce or dine out. See the famous cathedral while you are here. History and nature lovers will also enjoy exploring the old ruins at the National Trust’s picturesque Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, 8.5 miles away. Visit Jervaulx Abbey, 9 miles away, for an additional touch of history.
