With wonderful walks on the doorstep to the higher fells, woodland and fields, this cosy cottage is a great choice for families or couples with four-legged friends.
Set on the edge of the tiny Lakeland village of Bassenthwaite, this delightful property makes a memorable holiday retreat for five human and two canine guests. Providing cosy and welcoming accommodation, this charming cottage is ideal for pets and their owners exploring the northern reaches of the Lake District. Just a couple of miles from the shores of the glorious Bassenthwaite Lake, this stylishly updated period property enjoys superb views and is a wonderful base for families enjoying either a relaxing break or an energetic outdoors holiday.
Entering this beautifully updated property, the lounge features plenty of seating, a TV with DVD, and a warming wood burner – a perfect spot for your four-legged friends to snooze after a long walk. Exploring further, the country-style kitchen/diner is perfect for rustling up and sharing all your favourite family dishes. The handy utility room makes a useful space for drying wet coats, boots and paws. Going upstairs, there are three light and airy bedrooms to choose between: a double, a twin and a cosy single, along with a tiled family bathroom. Heading outside, a small patio area has a picnic bench and spectacular views of the surrounding fells, providing a lovely spot for a morning coffee.
Set at the foot of the imposing Skiddaw range, Bassenthwaite makes a great base for dogs and their owners exploring the fells and woodlands surrounding Bassenthwaite Lake (2 miles) and Derwentwater (7.5 miles). Dogs are welcome at plenty of great pubs and cafes in the thriving town of Keswick (7.5 miles), where there are several pet-friendly attractions including the Derwent Pencil Museum and the Puzzling Place.
