Evening sunshine settles on the tiered garden at Mad Hatters Cottage, and two dogs can join you out there to enjoy it. This completely renovated, dog friendly cottage sleeps four in the city of Ripon, with the centre and its cathedral a mile from the front door, and its stylish, contemporary rooms suit friends or a family.

Everything gathers in one open plan room for cooking, eating and settling in. The kitchen has a slimline dishwasher and a Tassimo machine for morning coffee, the dining area suits a well deserved glass of wine, and a wall mounted Smart TV waits for the film while the dogs stretch out after their walk. A second ground floor room with its own Smart TV is great for children, and there is a downstairs WC as well.

Two well appointed bedrooms wait up the stairs, a double and a twin, while the bathroom offers a shower over its bath. Outside, the private patio is made for morning coffee, and steps lead to a fully enclosed garden on two upper levels with a lawn area, where you can sit with a favourite tipple and listen to the birdlife. The owner asks that dogs are supervised in the garden, so the pair of them have company out there.

Ripon is a delightfully accessible city, best known for a cathedral whose history runs back to the 7th century, with three museums, the racecourse and a fine range of shops and eateries. Under 4 miles away, the atmospheric ruins of Fountains Abbey make a wonderful day trip, and further out, Nidderdale and the Yorkshire Dales give two dogs and their people a spectacular backdrop for relaxing walks.
