Located within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), this quirky cottage offers a wonderful getaway deep in Yorkshire’s rolling countryside. It’s the village of Kirkby Malzeard, with a shop and pub within 150 metres and wonderful walks starting from your front door. The accommodation is decorated in an exquisite style, with interesting artifacts and plenty of colour, and with a hot tub awaiting in the garden, it’s a true treat to stay here. With space for up to four human guests, it’s ideal for a couple or a family who can also bring their dog.
Step inside this period property and be wowed by the cosy interior, featuring wooden ceiling beams, stone floors, vintage furniture and lots of ornate detailing. The walls are painted in rich hues, and floral prints and gilded accents add to the stylish atmosphere. In the cosy living room, settled down with a glass of something delicious as the wood burner crackles away like in the olden days. In the kitchen, featuring bespoke units, cook up a storm to be enjoyed at the dining table, which overlooks the gorgeous garden. The outdoor space is lovely for kicking back in warm weather, with fairly lights, mirrors and a sensory walkway. Whether you’re flipping burgers on the BBQ or soaking in the hot tub, you’ll be thrilled by this peaceful oasis.
As well as walking and cycling in the AONB and the Yorkshire Dales National Park (17.5 miles), we recommend visiting the cathedral city of Ripon 6 miles away, If you have children in your party, the Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park (4.5 miles) is a wonderful option for an action-packed day out, as is the Studfold Adventure trail at Lofthouse (9.5 miles). If a fancy cream tea and a beauty treatment at a Victorian Turkish bath tickles your fancy, drive 14.5 miles to Harrogate.
