Let Rover join in the fun when you book this sizeable group retreat in the North Pennines. Sleeping 22 guests, the 11-bedroom former manor house is situated at Alston, 20 miles from Penrith. Perfect for a special occasion with your extended family or friends, the four-storey abode shares a large, wooded garden with ample outdoor space for Rover to enjoy between his long walks in picturesque Cumbria.
Wander inside to find fabulous spaces where Rover will also feel right at home. Take him with you down into the bar at the lower-ground-floor level, where he can keep you company as you play games, watch TV and have a pint. Dish up his dinner in the huge kitchen on the ground floor, where you can also take turns at catering for your enormous party before calling everyone to the table in the great dining room. There are also WCs at this level. The main lounge, which is on the first floor, is another superb room for everyone to relax in. Let Rover toast his paws beside the open fire while you find a film on the TV in here. In total, you have two super-king-size bedrooms (which can be made up as twins if discussed at booking), plus three king-size bedrooms (one with an additional day bed), four doubles and two singles. The bedrooms are spread across the upper floors of the house and all have en-suite shower rooms or bathrooms. Have picnic lunches together out in the garden. Play fetch with Rover out here and see if you can spot wildlife.
Organise group walks from the property. Head 2.5 miles to Epiacum Roman Fort, where Rover can accompany you as you explore. Visit scenic Ashgill Force, 5 miles away, and take him on a stroll through the woods while you are there.
