Escape to this gorgeous stone cottage in the North Pennines and take your delighted dog with you. Originally a coach house, the inviting, two-bedroom hideaway sleeps four guests. Situated in leafy grounds at Alston, 20 miles from Penrith, it shares an attractive garden with another property and enjoys access to a myriad of walks to keep your chum’s tail wagging throughout your stay.
Step in through the stable door and dry your four-legged friend in the porch. Head into the chic kitchen/diner to give him a drink of water and his dinner. Find everything you need in here to help you prepare meals for the rest of your party too utilising the sociable island. Let your contented canine settle in a corner while you dine at the table then amble over to the soft seating in the lounge to unwind. Choose a film on TV, play a game or read your books until bedtime. There is also a family wet room at ground-floor level. When night falls, show your furry friend some puppy love before bidding him goodnight and making your way upstairs. Here, you will find a double bedroom and a super-king-size that can also be arranged as two singles if discussed at booking. These bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom and each has a TV. Take your eager, four-pawed pal out for a run in the garden before breakfast. Make the most of this beautiful space over a cup of tea or a glass of wine on summer evenings.
Strike out on a 3.5-mile walk to see Beldy Waterfall. Ashgill Force, 5 miles away, which sits in woodland, is also a great location for dogs. Take a trip along the heritage, narrow-gauge South Tynedale Railway, 150 metres from the cottage, with your paw-some pal also welcome aboard.
