Arrive for a group stay at this handsome, stone barn conversion in the Lake District and watch your furry friend’s tail wag. Sleeping eight guests, the five-bedroom holiday home is just 300 metres from the shores of Lake Coniston, 1.5 miles from Coniston village and 6.5 miles from Ambleside. Ideal for a large family or friends with two canine companions in tow, the semi-detached abode has a patio with views down to the lake.
Follow furry feet into the dining hall, where the human members of your group can gather to eat. Open the door to wander through to the kitchen to make a cup of fresh coffee in the machine, put dinner on to roast and feed your hungry hound. Follow the steps down into the lounge, where your paw-fect pal can stretch out on the carpet in front of the crackling wood burner and you can chat, watch the Smart TV, or make plans for the dog-friendly activities of the following day. A king-size bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, is located next to the dining room, while the other bedrooms are at lower-ground-floor level. These include a super-king-size, a twin and two singles. There is also a family bathroom and separate WC here. Another WC and a utility room are on the floor above. Take your pal over to the games room with you while you get stuck into a game of pool and sit out in the sunshine on the terrace.
Follow a range of scenic footpaths that will take you and your faithful friend around the edge of Coniston Water. Board a dog-friendly cruise out on the lake, disembarking at Brantwood to explore the magnificent gardens there with your four-pawed walking companion.
