Looking for a romantic retreat with your beloved doggo in tow? Look no further than this cosy Cumbrian cottage for two and a dog. The Lake District National Park is, of course, a dog-walker’s paradise and this pretty Grasmere cottage is centrally located for seeing all of the sights. Whether you’re eager to sniff out some adventure on the nearby mountains or let Rover fetch sticks beside some of the county’s impressive lakes, a stay in Grasmere is certain to offer plenty of top dog routes. As day turns to night, you can head home and relax in your pup-friendly property, putting feet (or paws) up to recharge for days ahead.

Man and dog alike will feel instantly welcome on arrival, discovering the luxury welcome pack that’s crammed with treats for humans and presents for your pup. The hub of the house is the colourful kitchen, complete with a breakfast table with plenty of space for maps and plotting rewarding walkies yet to come. Step outside to find an enclosed patio with benches, the perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee as your beloved doggo stretches their legs. Trot back inside to find two ever-comfortable places to while away the evening with Fido by your side. The lounge features an L-shaped sofa, wood burner and plenty in way of entertainment, whilst the super-king-size bedroom is also equipped with a Sky Q TV.

Dotted with pretty towns and stunning beauty spots, the Cumbrian countryside couldn’t be more suited to a romantic break accompanied by man’s best friend. Along with the village of Grasmere itself (0.5 miles), bustling towns including Keswick (13 miles), Ambleside (4 miles) and Windermere (8.5 miles) offer a relaxed day out with plenty of pup-friendly pubs and cafes. Those who prefer walkies off the beaten track will be delighted to find mountains including Skiddaw (10 miles) and Helvellyn (6 miles) close by.

We absolutely loved the property it is well placed and within easy access of Grasmere. The owners have made the property very welcoming and homely the provision of a welcome back for humans and doggy companions was very much appreciated.

Lovely property in an excellent location. Very well equipped, a very generous welcome hamper provided and superb views from the rear of the property. A few minutes walk into Grasmere centre with great selection of cafes and restaurants. Fantastic walks from the doorstep. Had an enjoyable winter break.

This cottage is superb! Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Probably the most well equipped cottage we have ever stayed in! We loved playing Scrabble every evening in front of the log fire. The location is fantastic, we didn't need to use our car all week! The cafes and the Coop on the village keep us going, and everyday we walked in a differentRead more direction. Absolutely fantastic!

A lovely well equipped and comfortable upstairs flat with very generous welcome packs. Beautiful views at the back and very convenient for local facilities. We never used the garden because the weather wasnt great and because it couldnt be accessed directly from the flat.
