Experience the epitome of romance in this exquisite retreat welcoming two guests and two canine companions. Nestled on the edge of Thornthwaite within the breathtaking Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this rural bolthole promises an idyllic escape for couples looking to spend quality time together in the pure tranquillity of the beautiful unspoilt landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.

With an array of picturesque walks beginning from your doorstep, those who love nothing better than getting their hiking boots dirty in the great outdoors are utterly spoilt with the stunning landscapes of Nidderdale that surround this home from home – rolling hills, sun-dappled woodlands, and serene streams beckon explorers.

As you step into this lovely cottage, you’re instantly enveloped by the warming ambience created by the soothing neutral colour palette, plush soft furnishings, and extra special homely touches everywhere you look. An abundance of natural sunlight invites the outside in and keeps your stunning, unspoilt surroundings at the forefront of this holiday let’s sumptuous design.

Adding a touch of nostalgia and charm, fire up the traditional jukebox in the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to set the mood as you get creative in the farmhouse-style kitchen, boasting everything you need to rustle up a hearty feast or romantic dinner for two. Enjoy your efforts with a glass of something chilled while seated around the rustic wooden dining table, where there’s plenty of room for your four-legged friend to curl up with their own tasty treats at your feet. As the evening draws in, get the wood burner going in the lovely lounge to keep toes toasty. Cuddle up on the plush sofa for the ultimate film night in front of the Smart TV. On a fine summer’s evening, throw open the patio doors to let the gentle breeze and sounds of birdsong lull you into pure relaxation.

When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, climb the contemporary staircase to be greeted with the enchanting king-size bedroom, a haven of comfort and serenity. Dressed for the occasion in crisp white linens and flooded with plenty of natural sunlight from the gorgeous Velux windows, you’ll find yourself in a deep slumber dreaming of tomorrow’s adventures in no time. The stunning en-suite bathroom is a highlight, featuring a roll-top bath and a separate shower, perfect for even more indulgent relaxation before bedtime.Venture outside and you'll find a private decking area that offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the gentle stream, ideal for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying a BBQ in the evening.

The grand Victorian spa town of Harrogate is regularly listed as the best place to live in the UK. This truly gorgeous Yorkshire town combines traditional elegance with contemporary style effortlessly.

Best known for its antiques and fine art, Harrogate has antique dealers and galleries around every corner, particularly around the Montpellier Quarter. If buying old paintings and furniture isn't your bag, there are a host of other high fashion outlets nestled alongside lavish interior boutiques, punctuated with enough fine restaurants and cafes to keep you fuelled for weeks.

A visit to Bettys Tearooms is a must and, if you have time, we highly recommend a session at the famous Turkish Baths (9.5 miles) to rejuvenate the spirit and soul after a day on the town. Harrogate is famous for its outdoor spaces with lots of parkland and greenery everywhere. The RHS gardens at Harlow Carr (10 miles) are a fantastic option for those with a nose for nature.

Harrogate is also very close to the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors so it makes the perfect base from which to explore the glorious Yorkshire landscape and its many stunning natural sights. The breathtaking Nidderdale is 8 miles north, and you will be driving through some of the most dramatic scenery in the Dales on a visit there. We highly recommend a day trip to the gorgeous spa town of Ilkley, combined with a visit to Bolton Abbey, both 11.5 miles away.
