Set in the Lake District National Park, this charming property is a true home from home. It’s made for families who want to explore Cumbria’s heritage and spectacular surroundings.
Head to this holiday home right at the centre of the Lakeland town of Keswick and take a pair of very happy hounds with you to enjoy your picturesque surroundings. Strike out from this two-bedroom property, which sleeps up to four guests, to walk beside the River Greta or along the shores of Derwentwater. Enjoy trips out to other areas of the national park, where you can set tails wagging with long strolls through swathes of woodland and picturesque valleys, as well as hikes up scenic fells and walks next to other magical lakes.
Call your contented canines into their new home from home and put your paws up for half an hour or so in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner after your days out exploring. Select a DVD or find your favourite programme on the TV. When mealtimes beckon, head over to the kitchen area to feed your hungry hounds and whip up a feast for the rest of the household. You also have a useful washing machine for whizzing through any damp doggy towels after wet walks. As night falls, bid your cheerful chums goodnight and make your way up to the first floor of the cottage. Have a long, hot bubble bath before laying your head in either the twin bedroom or the double for the night. Wake up to take your perfect pets out for a stroll in Lower Fitz Park, less than 500 metres away, before returning home for breakfast. You have parking for one car at the cottage.
Lace up your boots, grab the leads and head about 1.5 miles out of town to see the famous Castlerigg Stone Circle. Wander less than 1 mile down to Derwentwater then attempt a section of the 10-mile walk around the lake or even the whole loop.
