Make a romantic retreat to this delightful country cottage for two in the South Cumbrian village of Gleaston and take a pair of happy hounds with you as well. Find great places to walk from the doorstep of the one-bedroom, holiday home, including heading to the seaside to pick up the Cumbria Coastal Way. Spend time on dog-friendly beaches; visit Walney Island then return home to relax outside in the fresh air or beside a roaring wood burner with your faithful friends by your side.

Wander into this homely property to unwind in the inviting lounge, with its wood burner and Smart TV. Prepare delicious candlelit dinners for yourselves and tasty snacks for hungry hounds in the kitchen, then decide whether to dine inside or out. Head upstairs to find the double bedroom and bathroom, plus a small study. Another Smart TV and relaxation area can be found up in the attic on the floor above. Sit out in the courtyard garden to the front of the cottage whenever the weather permits and let your pals enjoy the fresh air too. Rub them down behind the property after long, enjoyable, muddy walks, where there is also an outbuilding here with a handy washing machine and dryer. Parking for the cottage is on the road.

Plan coastal walks on the beaches at Aldingham, 3.5 miles away, and Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, 4 miles away, where your chums can run to their hearts’ content and you can look out over Morecambe Bay. Make a trip to Walney Island, 6 miles away, and find more great dog walks, as well as pubs to stop in for a pint and a plate of Cumbrian fare, where four-legged friends are also welcome. Follow a section of the Cumbria Coastal Way, perhaps the 2.5-mile stretch from Aldingham to Bardsea.

The owners were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. It was a last minute booking due to a dying relative and they could not have been more accommodating. Made a very difficult time a little bit easier. And the house is just a home away from home.

Lovely property, however if you have mobility problems the seats in the lounge are quite low you may have difficulty getting up. The property is well placed for visiting the south lakes with Coniston being forty minutes away.

My husband and I stayed here for our 17th Wedding Anniversary. The cottage was perfect, clean, tidy with plenty of amenities. This is one of the nicest cottages I have EVER stayed in.
