Well, we definitely have you covered. Just turn on one of the side table lamps, feel the under floor heating gently warm your feet, curl up with your fur baby, a good book and a glass of fizz in front of an open fire. After a long walk in the beautiful surroundings, light some candles and relax in the roll top bathwith our locally sourced bubbles and bath salts. Those Sunday morning lie-ins are al

l the more addictive in our gorgeous beds, complete with feather duvets and pillows and specially sourced linen. Our cosy cottages are ideally located in Middleham, the beautiful Yorkshire dales so whether you're looking for a weekend of outdoor activity or some quiet time to yourself, you'll find just what you need! With all the activities that the local area has to offer, we know you'll be out exploring local trails and dales and when you're done, you can grab the most delicious meal, snack or a quick pint in one of 4 (yes...4!) gorgeous pubs in the Middleham village, just two minutes from our cottages. The summer pub crawl is a right of passage for sure. You're also lucky enough to be a mere stones throw from what is, in our opinion, the best Fish and Chip shop in Yorkshire where you can grab a pint from the pub next door and enjoy! Our cottages are dog friendly and have been fully renovated in 2021. Extreme care has been taken in decorating the cottages to make them feel as homely and cosy as possible. We've taken time to source and engage with small local businesses to ensure we can offer the very highest quality, vegan-friendly toiletries to enhance your stay. Our cleaning products and toiletries are of the highest standard, and we have ensured that we are using eco friendly, refillable/reusable products. We are proud that our suppliers are part of the plant a tree alliance. www.Quintessentialcottages.co.uk/book-now

Good morning little girl

This lovely girl is always watching, snuggled away in a nice dry outbuilding. No idea who owns her but look at her cute moustache

✨ Some mornings aren’t meant to be rushed…

There’s something special about waking up in the countryside.

Fresh coffee brewing. Long, hot showers. Peaceful views from your window seat. Horses trotting past as the village slowly comes to life.

No alarms. No traffic. No agenda.

Just space to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the little moments that make a countryside escape so memorable.

If your mornings could use a little more calm, this is your sign. 🤍

There’s something magical about a Yorkshire winter.

The sound of a crackling fire, horse hooves and frost sparkling across the fields. Slow mornings, muddy dog walks, cosy afternoons and evenings spent doing absolutely nothing.

Sometimes the best getaway isn’t about going far… it’s about finding somewhere that makes you feel completely at home.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Garden Cottage, your second home for this winter. ❄️🤍

IS YOUR FURRY BEST FRIEND IN THE REEL?

Here are some of the beautiful dogs who have stayed at Quintessential Cottages in the Yorkshire Dales. Some are still with us, some sadly gained their wings 🪽. But they all were loved so much to be taken on a wonderful holiday with us 🥹. We do seem to have a lot of great Dane’s and Poodle mixes

If your best mate isn’t here - send us a photo and we’ll create a new reel ☺️

We designed this cottage for moments like this….

Is there anything better than the silence of a bath on holiday?

The best kind of getaway? The one your dog comes on 🤍

Long countryside walks
Muddy paws (welcome 😉)
And cosy evenings by the fire together

No kennels. No guilt. Just time away — all of you.

OUR COTTAGE IN WATERCOLOUR

One of our beautiful guests (and fave artists) painted us this stunning watercolour of Garden Cottage!

We have .barnes.portraits pencil art in our holiday barns but this watercolour is so intricate and personal to us.

We can’t recommend her enough if you want artwork for your home or a bespoke sketch.
