Single-level and spacious, this charming couples’ retreat is a must for discovering the picturesque Eden Valley and the northern reaches of the Lake District National Park.
Watch two of your favourite furry friends have the time of their lives when racing about the gorgeous shared gardens at this superb holiday home near Kirkoswald, 9 miles from Penrith. Set on a former farm in undulating countryside, this one-bedroom holiday home makes a great retreat for a dog-loving couple with two happy hounds in tow.
Enter the enticing, single-storey abode, which is set within a rustic building dating back to the 1600s, to find plenty of character in the white-painted stone walls and an abundance of comfort, through carefully chosen furniture and furnishings. Light the wood burner to warm chilly paws after long wet walks and settle down to watch the TV/DVD in its cosy glow. Wander over to the kitchen area to feed your hungry hounds then prepare a romantic meal for two with delicious Cumbrian ingredients. Dine together at the table or, on warm evenings, take the pups out with you to enjoy the summer air on one of the shared patios. As night falls, lay your heads in the king-size bedroom; awake the next morning to have a hot shower and take your cheerful chums for a stroll around the gardens. Light the BBQ out here too after your days out exploring. You have access to a shared laundry and bike storage, and parking for one car.
Explore the magical Eden Valley on the doorstep. Venture into the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, less than 3 miles away, or plan excursions from the cottage into the Lake District, 14.5 miles away, to set tails wagging. Drive 14 miles to Pooley Bridge to walk beside beautiful Ullswater or to hop aboard a dog-friendly steamer to soak up the scenery.
