For couples who can’t bear to leave their dogs at home, this property is ideal for you. Located in the grounds of Crosthwaite House, the one-bedroom cottage comfortably sleeps two and two dogs. A short walk from an award-winning, dog-friendly pub, and located in the Lake District National Park, you’re never too far from wonderful walks and cycling routes.

Traditionally decorated, the living room and kitchen are framed by old wooden beams which add to the authentic countryside feel of the place, and the central wood burner is surrounded by an old stone fireplace. With a comfortable L-shaped sofa, you can curl up in front of the fire on the chilly Cumbrian evenings and flick through books which detail the best dog walks in the area. A compact kitchen area is equipped with everything you’ll need to feed the two of you (plus your two honoured guests), and an inviting dining table seats two for a romantic candlelit dinner… which will no doubt involve feeding two smaller guests under the table. To the side of the property, the shared terraced garden has seating for soaking up the sun whilst the dogs have a run-around in the secure garden.

Crosthwaite is a quaint village with a church and an extremely popular pub-cum-restaurant. A little further afield, the lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere has a wealth of shops, cafes and pubs for you to unwind and enjoy. A cruise on Lake Windermere is a unique way to experience this wonderful scenery, and dogs go free on the cruise! Situated in the Lake District National Park you are never too far from dog-friendly walks and cycling routes, perfect for exploring this iconic part of the world.

Small cottage which was a perfect quiet getaway for us, the kitchen was well equipped but if home is not your thing there are several good pubs serving meals within a few minutes of the property, good access to the southern lakes with both Kendal and Windermere around 15 minutes drive.
