1 / 11The Old Tin School
Low Mill, North Yorkshire
A studio for two at Low Mill in Farndale, two dogs welcome, with a high open living space, a wood burner, an antique wrought iron bed and an enclosed garden over rolling countryside.
Picture two dogs stretched on the floor of a room with a ceiling four times their height, and a wood burner going. The Old Tin School is a studio style haven for two at Low Mill in Farndale, dog friendly for a pair of quiet, well behaved dogs no bigger than medium, and its enclosed garden looks over the North York Moors countryside.
Huge, high ceilings make the open plan space feel light, and eclectic, elegant furnishings with a touch of industrial style keep it warm. A kitchen ready for a special meal, a table for a romantic dinner for two, and comfortable seats round the burner and Smart TV fill the room. The wrought iron double is antique, with a bathroom close by holding a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Out in the enclosed garden, patio seating waits for a drink on a summer evening, the dogs flopped beside your chairs.
The owner asks that the dogs stay out of the bedroom and off the furniture, and that they are never left unattended indoors unless content in a cage, which is not provided, and unlikely to bark. For nature lovers looking to cleanse and unwind, as the owner puts it, this is a place where spaciousness and cosiness share one room, and the dogs take to it quickly.
The hamlet lies around 8 miles north of Kirkbymoorside, with 600 square miles of heather coated moorland for the dogs to discover. Hutton le Hole, about 6 miles away, has the Ryedale Museum and is ideal for walkers, and the Rosedale Valley has Rosedale Abbey and its glass blowing. Helmsley and Pickering have independent shops, pubs and restaurants, and Castle Howard and Whitby are within reach.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Old Tin School dog friendly?
Yes, The Old Tin School welcomes dogs — up to two medium-sized ones. The studio sits at ground level with an enclosed garden opening straight off it, so your dogs have easy access to outdoor space without any steps or stairs to navigate.
Are dogs allowed at The Old Tin School year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the setup — a warm wood burner, enclosed garden and single-level space — suits a dog visit at any time of year.
What should I know before visiting The Old Tin School with my dog?
The house rules are specific and worth reading carefully before you book. Dogs must be medium-sized, reasonably quiet, kept off the furniture, and not left alone in the property unless they're settled in a crate. Meet those conditions and you've got a very peaceful base in Farndale, with the North York Moors and some excellent walking right outside the door.
