Great for families or a few friends, this bright, elevated home is a wonderful abode to return to after adventures in the Lake District.

Surrounded by stunning mountains that lay waiting to be explored, there’s really no better place to enjoy a dog-friendly retreat than the Cumbrian village of Glenridding. Both pups and people will find something to go mutts for in this bright and beautiful property, whether it’s the endless routes for walkies on offer close by or the cosy bedrooms that await you after a long day of throwing tennis balls and receiving sticks. Merrily sleeping four guests and one canine companion, the cottage lends itself perfectly to any small family or a doggo-loving friendship group with a beloved four-pawed pal making up part of the pack.

Cheerfully presented with bright tones and colourful interiors, this accommodation choice is a delight to wake up to each and every morning. Jump out of bed and head downstairs, throwing open the door to let Fido stretch their legs as you relish your morning brew. Back inside, you’ll find an abundantly spacious kitchen with room to park your pet’s favourite bed, along with a lounge/diner where each and every member of the pack will find somewhere to get comfy. Throw a log on the wood burner to create a truly warming ambience, switching on the telly as your beloved bowwow curls up and snoozes by your feet.

Let Rover take the lead when exploring walks from your doorstep, embracing a walk to nearby Place Fell (3.5 miles) or heading further afield to Fairfield Peak (5 miles). The cottage itself is less than 1 mile from the banks of Ullswater, a generous expanse of lake with boat trips and plenty of waterside walking routes. Leave no stick unfetched when exploring the stunning Aira Force Waterfall (2.5 miles) or take a pup-friendly lake cruise from Glenridding Pier (1 mile) to Pooley Bridge (8.5 miles).

Lovely cottage in a quiet spot just outside Glenridding on the way up towards Helvellyn (or more accurately Glenridding Dodd I guess). Also, handy for the Travellers Rest pub, which is a nice, traditional pub that hasn't been tarted up like the rest of the pubs in the village. When we weren't walking, it also has a nice front (side?) garden to baskRead more in the sun and for the dog to play in too... Hide

We had an amazing stay with 2 kids and a big dog and loved being up the hill a bit, with a lovely walk down to the village and lake. Perfect for quiet early morning dog walks around the property or being the first up the hills on the popular Helvellyn routes.

This cottage was really lovely, great layout, lovely location and comfortable. It shouldnt however be advertised as having an enclosed garden as it did not. Having a dog, we specifically picked this cottage as it said the garden was enclosed. As the garden at the front and the wall is all that separates the house from the road it meant putting our Read moredog on the lead each time she needed to go out. If you do not have a dog I would thoroughly recommend this cottage as a great place to stay. Hide

A small but very well equipped cottage in an ideal location for the Eastern Fells. The kitchen was very well equipped compared to many holiday cottages, which was much appreciated, as we cooked for ourselves very night. The lounge has a wood burning stove with one night's worth of wood as a welcome present which we took full advantage of. The beds Read morewere comfortable and the shower decently powerful. The bathroom also had underfloor heating. Hide

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage, one of the best we have ever stayed in. Very impressed from start to finish. The cottage is cosy and comfortable, with amazing views and a beautiful location.
