1 / 19Folly Rigg Cottage
Summerbridge, North Yorkshire
A five star cottage for two in the rolling hills of Summerbridge in Nidderdale, with a wood burner and an enclosed courtyard that is ideal for dogs, one dog welcome.
Folly Rigg Cottage is a romantic, five star retreat at Summerbridge, set in the rolling green hills of Nidderdale, where historic stone walls meet bright, contemporary interiors. It makes a dog friendly hideaway for two people and one dog, with walks and mountain biking trails from the doorstep and a charming enclosed courtyard that is ideal for dogs.
Downstairs, the large open plan kitchen diner has all the essentials, and a chic dining table for home cooked meals made with local produce. At the heart of the lounge next door is a wood burner, and the comfortable sofas are where the evening goes once the fire is lit and the dog has stretched out in front of it.
Upstairs, the warm master bedroom has a king size sleigh bed, and across the hall is the vast bathroom, where a roll top bath waits for a long hot soak beside a separate walk in shower. Outside, the courtyard is a sheltered spot with outdoor furniture for dining out, a picnic blanket or a favourite book, and the dog can doze in the sun while the tranquillity of the place sinks in. Yoga classes and one to one sessions are available onsite.
Harrogate is 11 miles away, with the Turkish Baths, RHS Garden Harlow Carr and the Royal Pump Room among its sights, and plenty of shops, eateries and pubs. Closer to home, the pretty town of Pateley Bridge is worth a visit, and miles and miles of walking start at the cottage door, so the dog never runs short of new ground.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Folly Rigg Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Folly Rigg Cottage welcomes dogs — one dog is allowed. The ground floor has warm hard surfaces throughout, and a walled, enclosed courtyard sits just a couple of paces from the wood burner, making it a genuinely comfortable setup for a dog.
Are dogs allowed at Folly Rigg Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest it's limited to certain times of year. If you want to confirm availability for a specific stay, it's always worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting Folly Rigg Cottage with my dog?
The cottage allows one dog and is set up for two adults — children aren't permitted, so it's a quietly grown-up retreat. Beyond the cottage itself, Brimham Rocks is just 2 miles up the hill, a National Trust gritstone outcrop where dogs are welcome across all of it, and Nidderdale's walled fields and stone villages offer plenty more walking right on the doorstep.
