Have a ball in the Lake District with your entire pack, staying at this traditional cottage in the historic hamlet of Hesket Newmarket. Brimming with original features, this charming cottage offers ample accommodation for six guests and welcomes two playful pups. After days wandering over fells, around lakes and past free-flowing waterfalls and dramatic views, return here for sunny afternoons in the courtyard garden. If you don’t feel like cooking, it’s just a few paw-steps to a delightful dog-friendly pub.

Laid out over two storeys, this cottage is every bit as cosy and welcoming inside as it looks from the outside. Exposed beamed ceilings, a warming wood burner, and antique-style furniture combine to offer a relaxed rural charm. Unwind in the warm lounge as you recover from the day’s adventures, or take a cuppa and your current read into the courtyard and let sleeping dogs lie in the sun. Cook up a storm on the colourful range cooker in the country-style kitchen, then wine, dine and chat together around the dining table. When it’s time to rest your head, leave your pups snoozing in their beds and head upstairs to get comfy in three charming and rustic bedrooms – taking care to avoid the sloping ceilings. In addition to the king-size master, there’s a room with zip-and-link beds that can be arranged to meet your needs, plus a room with bunk beds for two children. A first-floor family bathroom, plus a ground-floor shower room and utility room take care of all practicalities.

Let the pups lead the way to adventure as you step out onto the village green and set off on one of the local trails. There’s a lovely winding walk from here to the neighbouring village of Caldbeck (3.5 miles), through ancient woodland and long rivers. For a more challenging hike, take the footpath up to High Pike (5 miles) and across the ridge to Carrock Fell (4 miles) for panoramic views reaching as far as the Solway Coast (18 miles).

  • 2 bathrooms - 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC, 1 shower room with WC

Great stay in a lovely property. Holiday enhanced by a wonderful pub only 2 doors down. Can get a little noisy in the early evening on a fine night, but it didnt bother us and its only for a couple of hours. Would book again

This cottage is in a great location and very comfortable to stay in . The pub next door but one is a great asset to the cottage and stay as if serves good food and beers at a good price, we eat there a couple of times and really enjoyed it. I would recommend it as a place to go in a lovely location.

We agree with all of the positive points made in previous reviews, setting is lovely, walks are excellent and various, cottage is cosy and, yes, the pub is handy, however on warm evenings it is also quite noisy until almost midnight with merry al fresco drinkers. Cottage was visibly clean, but dusty, as if the last clean was not recent. If you lookRead moreed harder you noticed the cobwebs in the lampshades and the dust in the Aga hood. Bathroom floor was very dirty. Feels like owners have lost interest. Hide

The cottage is cosy and comfortable. It has everything you need to have a restful holiday taking life at a slower pace. We happily stayed in when the weather was wet. We experimented with the Aga in the kitchen and read books in the sitting room. The village is lovely with a great pub almost next door. Wed definitely go again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak View cottage and found it wonderfully cosy to come home to after getting drenched on our excursions. There were many thoughtful touches which were most appreciated. The artwork decorating the walls ( pen and ink) was excellent. Such a fabulous location in a quiet little village with a wonderful cooperatively ruRead moren pub just next door! Bonus! Highly recommended! Hide

This cottage is conveniently located in the northern fells with easy access to hiking trails both easy and more challenging. The village is frozen in time snd long may it stay that way!
