Oozing character and old-world charm, this converted two-bedroom cottage is the perfect rural retreat. Enjoying a secluded location near Nidderdale, it's also close to the thriving spa town of Harrogate and its Convention Centre, making it a great choice for both business and leisure travellers. Two dogs are also welcome and with the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering endless opportunities to explore, there's something here for everyone.

Traditional touches are to be found throughout this cottage, complemented by creative decor to create a very homely feel. The lounge provides a welcoming place to unwind with comfortable sofas and a warming wood burner making this a relaxing environment to enjoy a film. A cleverly designed area under the stairs provides a safe alternative place to leave your dogs, too. The cottage-style kitchen, with extendable dining table, is both colourful and stylish, and features all you'll need for preparing meals and snacks. Heading upstairs you'll find two cosy double bedrooms along with the main bathroom. Outside and across the quiet country lane, there's a large private garden and patio, with furniture for drinks and al fresco dining. Please note that although the garden is mostly enclosed, there is no boundary by the stream and there is also an unfenced pond.

If you don't fancy venturing far from your front door, take a walk around Lindley Reservoir, which is a haven for birds and wildlife. There are many local walks and cycle trails to explore too. Harrogate (6 miles) is packed with things to do, including a visit to the Valley Gardens, the Royal Pump Room Museum or the Turkish Baths. The nearest pubs and shops are 3 miles from the cottage, while there are some great places to eat and drink in some of the quaint local villages including Otley (3.5 miles) and Ilkley (9.5 miles).

Great location, really clean and comfortable, and the owners had really thought about what needed to be available to guests. There were just 2 of us (and our dog) and I will be honest and say that I think the cottage could be a little small for four, but otherwise we couldn't really fault it. We obviously liked it as this was our second visit, and Read moreI wouldn't rule out a third! Hide

So grateful to the owner for squeezing us in at the last minute. We loved the cottage. It is very cosy and the surroundings are idyllic. All kitchen equipment needed for cooking was provided, which was perfect.

Just a note for other dog owners, the garden is not escape proof, so don't leave your dog in it Hide

Ivy Cottage, in the rural setting of a country lane, had good access to main roads making it a great base for visiting the Yorkshire Dales. It was peaceful and cosy. The kitchen was well-resourced for cooking and dining. The sitting room was fabulous, with good lighting, good TV and the comfiest sofa!

Two pretty bedrooms, plenty of storage space for clothes, and a super bathroom (huge bath, fabulous wallpaper!). Hide

We had such a lovely stay here - the cottage is so well designed, the kitchen was small but well stocked with a place for everything! We loved the garden and so did our dog. The area was great for walks, pubs and gardens, but still felt really peaceful and rural. The host was communicative and really helpful.

A lovely little cottage in a great location. Rural but not isolated. Great walks on the doorstep. Lots of birds and wildlife including deer. Nicely furnished. Good wifi connection. Lovely, peaceful garden. (The garden is opposite the house so just be aware of crossing the lane as cyclists do tend to whoosh around the corner!)

A peaceful week in the countryside, but with easy access to lots of towns and attractions nearby.
