An all-encompassing space to unwind with everyone you love – four-pawed pals included – this lodge-style property on the edge of the Lake District accommodates four guests and one dog. Benefiting from cosy interiors and suntrap decking, your whole pack will enjoy putting feet (and paws) up for rest and recuperation here. In between relaxing evenings, spend your days sniffing out endless adventures in the Cumbrian countryside and beyond. Leave no stick unfetched in the nearby national park (10 miles) or the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) (12 miles) or explore local history and splendid architecture in the towns of Carlisle (11 miles), Penrith (7.5 miles) and Keswick (20.5 miles), each just a drive away.
This well-proportioned place is set out over two storeys with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom on each. At the heart of the house, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner invites slow mornings and restful evenings. A wood burner-effect electric fire creates the cosiest spot for your pet to curl up in front of, complete with sofas and armchairs facing it to keep toes cosy too. Take a few steps out onto the patio where seating, a BBQ and a hot tub await, and your pet can enjoy a breath of fresh air.
The northern edge of the Lake District National Park is just a short drive away (15 miles) and is teeming with wildlife for your pet to chase and scenery for you to admire. Discover the mighty Skiddaw (21 miles) and the beauty of Bassenthwaite Lake (20.5 miles), each with nature trails and appealing routes for walking around. A similar distance away, Cumbria’s lesser-known coastline invites enjoyable walks and incredible scenery, particularly around The Solway Coast AONB.
