Host a special occasion to remember at this Grade II-listed farmhouse just 7 miles outside the market town of Keswick. This spacious, detached home dates back to the 1700s and sleeps 10 people in five bedrooms, as well as welcoming three canine companions. It’s the ideal accommodation option for large families or groups of friends in search of a characterful property where they can celebrate a special occasion in style. Spend heavenly days walking your pups at Maryport Beach, and in the evening, come home to host happy hour on the cottage’s raised terrace. The views are wonderful and you can even see the top of Skiddaw.
Stepping through the doorway, you'll be immediately amazed by the plethora of stunning artwork and tasteful furnishings. Take a moment to make yourself at home in the beautifully-styled lounge, which is up a flight of stairs. When it’s time to eat, head back downstairs and unleash your inner chef in the contemporary-style kitchen, before hosting an impressive dinner in the formal dining room – the perfect place to toast a special occasion. After dinner, treat yourself to drinks on the raised terrace; head to the gallery library to play the piano; or retire to the snug with a good book. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a fabulous bedroom on the ground floor, two more up the traditional stone staircase, and two more in downstairs in the original hay barn.
With fell walks available right from the front door, there are so many reasons for pups to wag their tails at this property. Further afield, take them for a walk around the impressive parklands at Holker Hall and Gardens (17 miles). When it’s time for a bite to eat, head into Keswick (7 miles), where you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly pubs and cafes.
