Tucked away in the peaceful village of Felixkirk, this cosy, dog-friendly holiday cottage adjoins the owner’s home and provides a very comfortable rural retreat on the very edge of the North York Moors National Park, near Thirsk. This brick-built, single-storey cottage is a hidden gem offering a very private stay whilst enjoying an enviable position near to the award-winning, dog-friendly pub and is 5 minutes by car from the nearby market town of Thirsk.

From the doorstep, there are numerous footpaths and cycling trails and the renowned, traditional, dog-friendly village inn serves local produce just minutes from the cottage. The village is home to a 4x4 driving centre which offers action-packed days with off-road driver training and quad biking, and at Sutton Bank, visitors can take a trial lesson at the Yorkshire Gliding Club and visit the nearby famous White Horse near Kilburn.

This is an ideal location for a couple with a small to medium sized dog.There are ample lanes where you can exercise your dog, these have a low level of traffic.Should you prefer a more advantageous walk there are many in the folder in the cottage.We didn’t cook but the cottage has everything you would need to cook.We would stay again as the location is central to North Yorkshire.

Lovely little place.We have been several times in the past, and it's always been worth it.The enclosed garden is a real bonus. You can sit reading a book on the deck,knowing the dogs aren't off to the village!The owners are next door,but you don't know they're there. Very helpful if required.
