  •  Dine alfresco in your enclosed garden admiring the rural views beyond
  • Surrounded by endless Yorkshire Dales countryside unravelling over the horizon
Property code: OC-88970

This handcrafted shepherd’s hut makes the perfect romantic hideaway for two and their canine friends. It has bags of charm, with a comfortable and cosy interior, and is in a quiet country location close to pretty walks to go on and bustling towns to visit. The garden is fully enclosed with a BBQ, a wood-fired hot tub for two and a picnic bench for romantic evenings under the stars.

The cute hut manages to fit in creature comforts and space to relax. The electric radiators will keep you warm and cosy while watching the Smart TV from the raised, built-in double bed. Enjoy your breakfast at the foldaway table opposite the kitchen area, which has a two-ring hob, a combination microwave oven and a mini fridge. At the other end of the hut is the stylish shower room. The hut sits within a gated and fenced garden, perfect for your pups to run around, and you can take them for a run in the next-door field too. Outside, there’s a picnic bench, a charcoal BBQ, and a hot tub made for two for you to enjoy.

Go for stunning walks in the local countryside and explore the Yorkshire Dales (11 miles). The North York Moors and the North Pennines are also within easy reach, both just 18 miles away. After a long walk, revive with a trip to the spa at Darlington (4 miles), or pop to the local pub (2 miles) for a bite to eat. Durham, with its stunning cathedral, impressive castle and many other historic buildings is 26 miles away, and the market town of Richmond (8.5 miles) is worth visiting too, with a theatre, a racecourse, a castle and abbey ruins.

Quiet and peaceful location and had what was expected. It is very cosy. Would have struggled with two persons and a larger dog. Space has been utilised very well and it had most of the things we needed. Did the trick to get away from the fireworks.

There is a shop which is a 5 min drive away so if you need anything it isnt far to go. Hudswell woods was a 20 minute drive away which is a must to visit as the views are fantastic, lovely village with plenty of shops and markets and many pubs to choose from. Hosts were nothing but helpful and no query was too much for them. Excellent communicationRead more and lovely to speak with. Hide

Very peaceful and tranquil. We took our dog and she loved it. She sat at the door watching the cows graze. Views are beautiful and all you can here is the birds chirping. Would highly recommend for dog owners who would like a little getaway with them as fully enclosed.

This is a great secluded break, fantastic for anyone with a reactive dog - livestock close by and some occasional farm traffic, no other dogs or people around. Lovely and cosy, wood-fired hot tub is gorgeous (took us a little practice to get it just right). Excellent stay overall - we'll definitely be back

Lovely cosy quiet and clean but, it was very well thought out and we had everything we needed. The enclosed area meant the dog could be off leash and enjoying the garden whilst we're in the hot tub. Plenty of walks to take the dog on and local village nearby for any last minute bits needed. Very comfy bed, quiet surroundings and we really can't waiRead moret to come back. Owner was incredibly helpful and quick in replying when we had questions about walking and what was needed for the stay. 5 Hide
