There is nothing more relaxing, soothing, and soul lifting than cosying up in front of a warm roaring fire, especially after a day exploring the Yorkshire Dales. It’s not just warming our toes after a winter walk that we love. It’s the satisfaction of gazing at the warm hearth, absorbing the flickering light, listening to the crackling sounds, and taking in the distinctive smell of a real fire. Lighting a fire is particularly special at this time of year when it’s cold outside but toastie warm snuggled up inside with friends and family. Oh, and don’t forget the dog, dogs love snoozing in the warmth that radiates from the fire – a cottage must have this winter season.
