Tucked away in the peaceful village of Grewelthorpe, just outside Ripon, our cosy country cottage is more than just a place to stay — it’s a chance to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with the people (and pets) that matter most.
Whether you’re gathering for a family weekend, catching up with friends, or bringing your four-legged companion along for a change of scenery, our cottage is the perfect place to switch off and settle in.
🌳 Why Grewelthorpe?
This charming little village is surrounded by rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and scenic walking trails. It’s the kind of place where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end by the fire.
You’ll be just a stone’s throw from:
Hackfall Woods – A magical ancient woodland with waterfalls, hidden follies, and riverside trails (perfect for dogs!)
Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal – A UNESCO World Heritage Site just 10 minutes away
Masham & Ripon – Lovely market towns with great pubs, cafes, and shops
🐾 Pet-Friendly, People-Friendly
We believe no family holiday is complete without your dog — so we welcome well-behaved pets with open arms (and maybe a treat or two). There’s plenty of room to roam, sniff, and snooze, whether you’re exploring the countryside or curling up by the wood-burning stove.
🛏️ What You’ll Love About the Cottage
Cosy, country-inspired interiors
A fully equipped kitchen for family meals or lazy breakfasts
Private courtyard – ideal for kids, dogs, or evening drinks under the stars
Log burner for extra snug evenings
Books, board games, and a no-pressure vibe — you won’t find any rush here
🍂 Make Your Next Stay One That Feeds the Soul
We built this cottage experience around the idea that time in nature isn’t just good for you — it’s essential. Whether you’re hiking through falling leaves, splashing through muddy puddles with the dog, or sipping tea with no phone in hand, we hope your time here helps you slow down and soak it all in.
