Spend some quality time with man’s best friend in this wonderful holiday cottage which is cosy by name and cosy by nature. Happily sleeping three guests and one dog, the property lends itself perfectly to a small family hoping to discover the very best dog walking routes in the Cumbrian countryside. The traditional feel of the property and lack of Wi-Fi offers you the chance to take a step back in time and truly make the most of relaxed evenings with your nearest and dearest – your four-pawed pal included, of course!

Put your best paw forward and step inside to find an open-plan living space, the true hub of the house. With kitchen, diner and lounge all in one space, we’re certain your beloved bowwow will relish in having their three masters close by in one welcoming space. You’ll find plenty of room to park your dog’s bed and bowl brought from home, preferably offering them a cosy sleeping spot by the wood burner-effect electric fire! Spend time reading or watching TV of an evening before heading up to bed. Completing the property’s offering is a small patio area with seating – a great spot for a breath of fresh air – and a boot room where outerwear can be stored, and mucky paws and fur can be refreshed before venturing indoors.

Pick up your lead and pack a picnic with plenty of dog treats, setting off to discover an endless selection of walks from your doorstep. Whinlatter Forest Park (2 miles) and Dodd Wood Forest (5.5 miles) are two ever-popular dog-walking spots within close reach of the property, whilst the stunning Derwentwater Lake can be found just 2 miles from home. Leave no stick unfetched when summitting Grisedale Pike (2.5 miles) or look forward to a laidback afternoon stroll around the neighbouring town of Keswick (2.5 miles).

Cosy Cottage is ideally located in Braithwaite to explore the northern, and the Coledale fells, with fabulous walks from the doorstep. Being on the bus route it is easy to access other parts of the Lake District without using a car. The property is well equipped and comfortable; Pickle, (Labrador) and I felt right at home. In summary, Cosy Cottage Read moreis a little gem and I would recommend it. Hide

Cosy cottage was well named. It was great to be able to go for lots of different walks from the house, and to go further afield to explore the Lake District by car, or bus.

The 2 bed house is small but adequate and well stocked with necessary items. The car park/drive is tight so only a small hatchback would fit. The location is perfect for Northern Fells and the village has a cafe and 2 good pubs. Plenty of walks direct from property.

It is a good location for village facilities including the newly opened village shop tea room. Whilst not far to the A66, we experienced zero traffic noise.

What a lovely week we, (me, my wife and our one year old Labrador), had in Cosy Cottage. Spotlessly clean, hot shower, comfy bed and everything we needed during our stay. The location is perfect for fabulous walks from the door, and, being on the bus route, the car wasnt used. Thanks for making this little gem available.

Perfect little base for the north and western Lake District. The cottage exceeded our expectations. The yard was a perfect late afternoon sun trap to relax in after a day on the fells. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Would certainly go back. Stayed with my partner and our spaniel.

It is adequate accommodation for the price. The parking in the drive is difficult as people park on the road opposite - OK if its a car but a couple of times there were large vans directly opposite the gate. Jaspers in the village is just right for breakfast or a snack during the day.
