A cosy retreat offering the perfect base for lovers of the great outdoors. Watch the sheep and lambs from your window in springtime.
Set tails wagging when you stay in this quintessential Lakeland cottage at the heart of Borrowdale. Sleeping two humans and two hounds, you’ll be positioned within the village of Rosthwaite close to tearooms and all the exciting walks you could wish for. Stunning Derwentwater is less than 4.5 miles away, and you’ll be within sniffing distance of Buttermere and Crummock Water too, just 9 miles away.
Beneath the charming exterior is a cosy haven characterised by vaulted ceilings, timber beams and a wood burner-effect electric fire that Fido will soon be snoozing beside. Prepare light meals and hearty suppers in the pretty kitchen area, sitting at the table for relaxing mealtimes and evening drinks. There is a shower room, ideal for hosing down muddy paws, and down a step from the lounge is the bedroom with its king-size bed and ample space for a basket. Outside, there is a shared garden, and parking for one car is available nearby.
The Lake District National Park is an outdoor playground for nature enthusiasts so you and your pups will have lots of adventures to choose from. Lakeside walks, challenging climbs to the summit of Dale Head and fantastic strolls to waterfalls such as the Mass Force Waterfall are just a few excursions you can enjoy. Beautiful Grasmere is 18 miles away where you can sample a slice of the local bakery’s iconic gingerbread, and bustling Keswick (6.5 miles away) is a treat to visit with its shops, restaurants and attractions such as the Theatre by the Lake.
