Explore the Lake District with a very happy hound by your side when you stay at this bright cottage in Staveley. Approximately 5 miles from Kendal, the two-bedroom retreat sleeps four guests, plus one of their four-legged friends. Benefitting from proximity to dog-friendly eateries, it is also well positioned for great places to walk. From here, head out on hikes across the undulating countryside around Lake Windermere, about 4 miles away. Return to your base to soak up the sunshine with your pup out in your courtyard garden.
Rinse your best puppy pal under the warm dog shower outside the cottage and dry them off on the porch. Head into the airy kitchen/diner to serve him his dinner and to prepare food for everyone else to enjoy at the table. Step down into the lounge to unwind together after your lively adventures. Watch TV in here or pull back the bi-folding doors so you and your four-legged friend can enjoy seamless indoor/outdoor living. Find you also have a WC downstairs. Climb the steep, narrow, cottage-style stairs to lay your head in the king-size room, with glass wall and en-suite shower room, or the twin, with vaulted ceiling and en-suite bathroom with free-standing bath. Head height is restricted in some places because of the age of the cottage. Head out into the lovely garden as often as possible! Parking is available for one car on the driveway, with further on street parking for one car with supplied permit. Please be aware, the drive also provides foot access for neighbouring homes.
Take your hound to stroll on the grounds of Wray Castle, 11 miles away on the shores of Lake Windermere. Drive 15.5 miles to Glenridding to hop on a dog-friendly Ullswater steamboat or to walk 3 miles to Aira Force Waterfall. Have a day out in Kendal, with its many pubs that welcome canine companions with open paws.
