This charming pod in East Cowton, North Yorkshire, is perfect for couples looking to enjoy the outdoors with or without their four-legged friends. Just 9 miles from Northallerton, you'll have easy access to a lively town filled with independent shops, cafes, pubs, and a twice-weekly market featuring local goodies. A little further out, 10.5 miles away, is Richmond, known as 'The Gateway to the Dales.' Home to an 11th-century castle, this town is the perfect starting point for exploring the stunning countryside of Wensleydale and Swaledale, whether you’re walking or cycling. For even more adventure, the North York Moors National Park is just 25 miles away, offering endless rolling hills, valleys, and moorland to explore.

As you approach, you’ll be able to identify your accommodation as the middle pod of three similar properties. Guests can drive directly into their own private parking space, close the gates, and enjoy the security and peace the property offers. After a day of exploring, head back to the cosy, centrally heated open-plan pod. The unique curved ceiling and wooden interior create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Relax on the large comfortable sofa, whip up a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and wind down in the tranquil space. There’s a modern shower room to freshen up and a snug double bed tucked away at the back of the pod for a restful night.

We have just returned home from a fantastic week stay at Happy Hounds we stayed in Riley which was very clean and confortable and a very high standard and had everything you require for comfortable stay with a secure 6 foot fence around the pod so you could let your dogs out with no worries, we cannot praise the site enough. Alison and Harry wenRead moret above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable for us and our 2 dogs, it was my wifes birthday during our stay, Alison came to dog sit for a few hours whilst we went out to lunch, which was so nice off her. Also on site there are 2 secure exercising paddocks for the dogs, which was fantastic to let the dogs have a good run about in, there is also an indoor exercise area for nervous dogs. I cannot emphasis how much this site is set up for your dogs well being in mind, if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your dogs you would not find anywhere better. Hide
