We are delighted to welcome friends, family & dogs to our quintessentially 'Yorkshire' stone cottages Looking to get away from all the 'busy' in your life?
(25)

Well, we definitely have you covered. Just turn on one of the side table lamps, feel the under floor heating gently warm your feet, curl up with your fur baby, a good book and a glass of fizz in front of an open fire. After a long walk in the beautiful surroundings, light some candles and relax in the roll top bathwith our locally sourced bubbles and bath salts. Those Sunday morning lie-ins are al

l the more addictive in our gorgeous beds, complete with feather duvets and pillows and specially sourced linen. Our cosy cottages are ideally located in Middleham, the beautiful Yorkshire dales so whether you're looking for a weekend of outdoor activity or some quiet time to yourself, you'll find just what you need! With all the activities that the local area has to offer, we know you'll be out exploring local trails and dales and when you're done, you can grab the most delicious meal, snack or a quick pint in one of 4 (yes...4!) gorgeous pubs in the Middleham village, just two minutes from our cottages. The summer pub crawl is a right of passage for sure. You're also lucky enough to be a mere stones throw from what is, in our opinion, the best Fish and Chip shop in Yorkshire where you can grab a pint from the pub next door and enjoy! Our cottages are dog friendly and have been fully renovated in 2021. Extreme care has been taken in decorating the cottages to make them feel as homely and cosy as possible. We've taken time to source and engage with small local businesses to ensure we can offer the very highest quality, vegan-friendly toiletries to enhance your stay. Our cleaning products and toiletries are of the highest standard, and we have ensured that we are using eco friendly, refillable/reusable products. We are proud that our suppliers are part of the plant a tree alliance. www.Quintessentialcottages.co.uk/book-now

CRISP WINTER WALKS

This image encapsulates our favourite walk, especially in winter.

We walk past Middleham castle and up onto the most impressive loop route, back via the pub with the dogs - a pint and dogs snuggled by the fire.

I’m happy to share this route if you message me.

Throw back to when we were renovating Kent cottage and Puppy Téa was a builders assistant.

OUR FAVOURITE VIEWS

A reminder of snowy winter days to come.

As soon as we get a whiff that snow is coming …. The Yorkshire Dales is our favourite place to be.

This view is less than 5 minutes from our cottages from door, with 360 degree views and the rather stunning castle where Richard 111 grew up.

LEYBURN SHAWL: A SCENIC 7-MILE WALK THROUGH WENSLEYDALE

We love a good walk in the Yorkshire Dales and often plot routes for guests - but I’m going to stop trying as the wonderful chap that is Paul Beal is the real expert at this!

His walks are so well described and his photos really help visualise the walks.

Follow him for lots of local walks around Leyburn and the surrounding area.

BONFIRE NIGHT - SAFE FOR DOGS

We have had a cancellation for the bonfire night night period - Kent Cottage.

Middleham is peaceful around bonfire night - considering the number of racing stables in the village.

Perfect for those dogs that are nervous around this time of year 😊

It’s a little detail but important.

THE BEST BEER GARDEN WALK EVER My favourite walk in this county - ending at a beer garden where you can paddle with a drink in hand. And the best bit …. It’s about 1.5 hours Take in : Middleham castle, the most stunning views, Rivers to swim and paddle in, Stepping stones An amazing pub with beer garden on the river! A link to the circular route is in the comments, this doesn’t include the pub. To include the pub in your walk - stay walking along the river until you reach the pub and then return back to the route after. #walks #holidaycottage #holidaycottages #YorkshireDales #stonecottage #yorkshiregetaways #UKcottages #UKbreak #UKgetaways #luxurycottage #visityorkshire #dogholidays #dales #holidayhome #periodproperty #periodrenovation #dogfriendly #renovationproject #stonehouse #pubgarden #views #pub #beergardens #thedales #yorkshiredales

DIPPY EGGS Also fondly known as Chucky eggs in our family- simple but delish. I don’t know why but we always tend to have them at Garden cottage in middleham. We get ours from @iantheeggman because they are perfect but we are also hatching a plan to get our own chickens so watch this space …… #eggfast #eggs #holidaycottage #holidaycottages #YorkshireDales #stonecottage #yorkshiregetaways #UKcottages #UKbreak #UKgetaways #luxurycottage #visityorkshire #dogholidays #dales #holidayhome #periodproperty #periodrenovation #dogfriendly #renovationproject #stonehouse #dippyeggs

WINTER HOLIDAYS HERE ⬆️ This is what we do, when we stay in Kent or Garden Cottage? Walk, eat, drink, bathe and laze by the fire…… The dogs love it and are worn out in the Yorkshire Dales and snooze by the fire (yes all pubs are happy with 2 Great Danes snoozing by the fire). Here is a snippet of our winter break in Middleham - our favorite place to holiday. It’s long for a reel but definitely gives you a feel for what your holiday could be like 😊 #holidaycottage #holidaycottages #YorkshireDales #stonecottage #yorkshiregetaways #UKcottages #UKbreak #UKgetaways #luxurycottage #visityorkshire #dogholidays #dales #holidayhome #periodproperty #periodrenovation #dogfriendly #renovationproject #stonehouse northyorkshire #dogfriendlyyorkshire #dogfriendlyholiday #dogfriendlycottages #dogfriendlyplaces #dogfriendly #yorkshiredales #yorkshiredaleslife
