For larger families or groups of friends, including four-legged ones, this four-bedroom property is less than a mile to the beautiful Coniston Water where your canine can splash in the shallows as you appreciate the beauty of the 5-mile long lake. Close to the amenities of picturesque Coniston village, this is the perfect base from which to explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoy peaceful countryside walks and sip local ales in one of the dog-friendly inns.
Tails will wag at your charming whitewashed cottage set in its own large gardens. The entrance hall is ideal for hanging up leads and drying off damp paws, before unwinding in the spacious lounge where you sink into one of the comfortable sofas and chat late into the evening. Prepare delicious dinners in the sociable kitchen to share at the large rustic table in the dining room overlooking the terrace. There’s a handy ground-floor shower room for freshening up after a long walk, and upstairs you will find the four well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside is a large enclosed garden with lawn for ball games and a wide decked terrace for al fresco dining.
With Coniston Water only a short walk away, you don’t have to travel far to give your dog a wonderful walk around the fifth largest of the lakes. Take to the water with your dog for a memorable trip around the lake on the Victorian steam yacht ‘Gondola’ before hopping off and hiking up the Old Man of Coniston (1 mile). Sniff out the best route through the towering trees of Grizedale Forest (12 miles) to enjoy wonderful woodland walks and a tasty treat in the tearoom. The charming tourist town of Ambleside (8 miles) is well worth a visit with its welcoming pubs, quaint streets and beautiful Stock Ghyll Force waterfall on the edge of town.
