Stunning 6 Bedroom Pet-Friendly Country House near Halifax, with Bubbly Outdoor Hot Tub

Take family and friends to Hipperholme in West Yorkshire, about midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District national parks. Book a week or two at Belvedere Farm, and escape to this handsome classical stone mansion that stands in ten acres of grounds and woodland. This magnificent 6 bedroom building has accommodation over four levels and during the summer, doors are flung open to the terrace and balcony.

On arrival, cross the paved terrace edged with tubs of flowers.  Garden furniture is dotted about the terrace and a hot tub stands at one side with a promise of a few relaxing dips.   The presence of a gas barbecue would inspire outdoor lunches and garden parties.
