Escape to the Irt Valley with this secluded cottage with a mature sheltered garden, and access to a glorious private woodland. This is a nature lover's dream!
Head to this hideaway near Holmrook in Cumbria and find yourselves in doggy seventh heaven. Sleeping six guests, plus a pair of their four-legged friends, the enticing, three-bedroom holiday home sits within 8.5 acres of wild woodland that you and your delighted dogs can explore to your hearts’ content. You can also venture out along scenic routes through your Lake District surroundings or make your way to the coast, just 2 miles away, where your happy hounds can chase each other across the sand.
Call your pups through the hall and into the open-plan lounge/diner after long walks. Relax on the soft seating in front of your favourite programme on TV or a DVD and let Rover and Rex put their paws up too. On warm evenings, open the French doors so you can all wander outside. Whip up tasty dinners in the kitchen, which has all the appliances you need and where you will also find a washing machine and tumble dryer. Feed your furry friends in here too. One of the bedrooms, a twin with en-suite shower room, is also at this level, while a king-size room and a double can be found on the first floor, together with a family bathroom. Enjoy outdoor living to the maximum; throw a ball for the pups in the garden or tire furry legs out on a wander through the woodland and down to the river. There’s parking for four cars at the cottage.
Take your faithful friends to the beach at Drigg Sand Dunes, 2 miles away, or Ravenglass, 2.5 miles away, neither of which have restrictions at any time of year. Visit Muncaster Castle, 3 miles from the cottage, which is also dog-friendly, or hop aboard a train on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, which welcomes tail-wagging, four-legged passengers.
