John's Cottage - Four Bedroom House, Sleeps 8

Make memories to last a lifetime in this stunning country home in the village of Hampsthwaite, on the edge of the beautiful Nidderdale National Landscape. The spacious, pet-friendly property has a choice of social areas both indoors and outside and makes a fantastic location for a special family holiday or a getaway with friends. You’ll find numerous walks to explore directly from the property, including along the pretty banks of the River Nidd. Some of North Yorkshire’s top attractions are within easy reach, including the fascinating geological site at Brimham Rocks (7 miles) and the ancient ruins of Fountains Abbey (11 miles). You’ll also be just 5 miles from RHS Garden Harlow Carr, with its charming kitchen garden, scented garden, and woodland trails. The elegant town of Harrogate is 5 miles from the property. Spend time here, exploring its fantastic range of shops, boutiques, and galleries, before dining in one of the many independent restaurants. Alternatively, book into one of the famous spas or perhaps treat yourself at the town’s famous tearoom.
The honey-coloured, stone property oozes style and sophistication, with a wonderful collection of statement furniture, plush soft furnishings, unique accessories, and bespoke design elements. Enter the holiday retreat into the large hallway, where you’ll find ample space to store all your outdoor attire. On your right is an inviting lounge with contemporary decor and an array of sumptuous seating set around a Smart TV with surround sound and wood-burning-effect gas fire. This room leads onto a delightful sunroom with rattan seating and glass doors opening onto the garden. The social hub of the house is an impressive kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything you could possibly need to cater for a large group. Enjoy informal gatherings at the sleek kitchen island or come together in the opulent dining area for dinner parties and family celebrations. The kitchen/diner opens onto the outdoor kitchen, for easy, al fresco entertaining in summer months. In the evenings, spend quality time together in the games room, where you’ll find a pool table, Smart TV, games console, and a piano. One of the magnificent bedrooms – a super-king-size – is on the ground floor, along with a handy shower room. Upstairs, three exquisite bedrooms await, all with plush linens and luxurious touches. Choose from a super-king-size with an en-suite shower room or one of the two king-size bedrooms. A contemporary family bathroom rounds off the accommodation.
Outside, discover an immaculate, enclosed garden with a heated tiki bar and plenty of seating for enjoying evenings outdoors during the summer months. There’s also a table and chairs for dining alfresco and a private hot tub to sink into at the end of a busy day. In the outdoor kitchen, you’ll find a pizza oven, BBQ, and fridge.
