Delight in a stay at this enticing, stone cottage in the picture-postcard Yorkshire village of Harmby. Relax in the wood-fired hot tub or toast beside the wood burner after your forays out into the Yorkshire Dales. Sleeping four guests, this two-bedroom hideaway, which offers dog-friendly accommodation, is situated 1.5 miles from Leyburn and is in a superb position for exploring picturesque Wensleydale.
Enter the cottage, pull your walking boots off in the hall, which has a flagstone floor, and head through to the lovely lounge. Sit back on one of the comfortable sofas in here to rest and recuperate after your exciting outing. Light the wood burner on chilly days, find a film on TV or set up a board game then enjoy the ambience of this cosy, beamed space. When mealtimes beckon, amble through to the country-style kitchen/diner to rustle up tasty dishes with the fresh produce you have sourced on your trips out. Gather round the table in here to dine together. The family bathroom is also downstairs, while the two inviting bedrooms are up on the first floor. These include a king-size and a twin. Head onto the stone patio on bright mornings and in the evening, unwind in the hot tub.
Walk or drive into Leyburn to browse in the shops and stock up on provisions. See the pretty waterfall in Harmby or venture 9 miles to the celebrated Aysgarth Falls that have featured in so many well-known films. Organise a day trip into Richmond to wander its historic streets, visit the castle and picnic by the River Swale and from here, you can walk along the banks to the ruins of Easby Abbey.
