1 / 24The Orchid
Harrogate, North Yorkshire
A five star ground floor apartment for six in Harrogate, with a wood burner, a garden room and a large enclosed garden with a hot tub, one dog welcome.
The Orchid is a spacious, beautifully presented ground floor apartment in Harrogate, graded five stars and dog friendly, for six people and one dog. A real luxury in this part of the town centre is its large enclosed garden, with a lawn surrounded by trees, a patio and a hot tub under a gazebo, and the dog will head straight for it.
You come in through the garden room, the place to wipe down muddy paws when the dog is back from a walk, and a second lounge with comfortable seating and a TV. Beyond it, the spacious kitchen and diner has bespoke units and a gas Rangemaster, and along the hallway there is a more formal dining area for evening meals.
The main lounge has a wood burner to stoke in the evenings, deep, comfortable seats and a Smart TV, and next to it are a utility room and the beautiful family bathroom, which has both a walk in shower and a free standing bath. The three good sized bedrooms are at the other side of the apartment, with zip and link beds for flexible sleeping. Mornings begin in the garden, down the stone steps with a coffee, the birds busy in the trees and the dog nosing round the lawn.
Harrogate is known for its parks, historic architecture and boutique shops, and the renowned Valley Gardens, 0.5 miles away, have manicured gardens, a boating lake and art installations. The Royal Pump Room Museum and the Turkish Baths are close by for the town's famous spa waters, and the Nidderdale AONB and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with a wealth of beautiful walks for the dog, can be reached in under 7 miles.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Orchid dog friendly?
Yes, The Orchid welcomes dogs — one per booking. It's a three-bedroom ground floor apartment in Harrogate designed with dogs genuinely in mind, right down to the dedicated garden room at the entrance for drying off muddy or wet dogs before they come through to the rest of the property.
Are dogs allowed at The Orchid year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given the setup — a proper drying room, an enclosed garden, and easy access to walks in all weathers — it feels built for year-round use.
What should I know before visiting The Orchid with my dog?
The property allows one dog per booking, so if you're travelling with more than one it's worth checking with the owners before you book. The garden room at the entrance is the practical detail that makes this place work well for dogs — coats and kit stay there, and nothing wet gets dragged through to the rest of the house. The enclosed garden has a hot tub up stone steps under a gazebo, and Knaresborough is just 4 miles east with a riverside path that dogs can use freely.
