Arrange a group stay at this holiday home at Nether Wasdale and watch tails wag each time your four-legged friends bound out into the garden. Sleeping up to ten guests and also welcoming two dogs, the generous, five-bedroom property sits in magnificent gardens and comes with a hot tub as a special treat for you too. From here, venture out on long walks with spectacular lake and mountain views. Or, take your furry friends on trips to the coast, 7 miles away, where they have the freedom to chase and play to their hearts’ content.

Wander inside the cottage, hanging dog leads in the hall, and find yourselves in the airy lounge/diner. Gaze out at the glorious views, watch the TV with Sky and let your happy hounds pad about and explore. Some members of the party might also enjoy the games room. Make the most of the well-designed kitchen to cook delicious meals and dish up dinner for your delighted dogs in here too. Find a family shower room, plus a twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room, also at this level. A king-size, a single, a double and a family room, with a double and a single bed, are all on the floor above. All the bedrooms have TVs with Sky. There is also a family bathroom. Take your contented canines out into the garden and throw balls for them on the lawn. Bubble in the hot tub after your long walks while the pups bask in the sunshine. You’ll also find ample parking at the house.

Walk 1 mile to Wastwater and pick up routes around the lake. Head to the beach at Seascale or Drigg Sand Dunes, both about 7.5 miles away and renowned for being dog friendly. Or, take a train along the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, which welcomes four-legged passengers.

It was a lovely cottage out in Nether Wasdale, spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset over Scafell Pike. Isolated but with plenty near by to do if you drive or hike. It has such a homely feeling and the owners were lovely and informative. I found the beds a bit firm but I have a bad back, should of brought a mattress topper. The Strands Inn isRead more a lovely pub to eat at as well, just down the road. I'd 100% stay there again and If I ever could buy it I would!!! Thank you for a lovely stay! Hide

We had a lovely stay, the house had everything we needed and was in a beautiful location. We were very lucky with the weather too. The hot tub was lovely to relax in while the kids played football in the huge garden. Would recommend the Sunday roast at the Strands inn it was delicious and just a few mins walk away.

High Holme was a delight to stay at. Stunning views from the huge windows and literally 2 minutes walk down the road to the pub. House is very comfortable and well equipped - large garden, hot tub and games room were a hit with the teenagers. Quieter, slower area of the Lake District that wed love to return to.
