Take a family holiday in the beautiful Lake District. This log cabin is super cosy and can accommodate a small family and their faithful four-legged companion. You’ll be staying in a larger holiday complex with some other lodges, and a few shared luxuries including a swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna.
Approach the property and note the gorgeous wooden exterior, which appears like something from a children’s story. When you get inside, you’ll find an open-plan kitchen, lounge and diner. It’s a friendly and social space where you can spend quality time together. Through the patio doors, you’ll have great views of the forest and plenty of natural light. There are two bedrooms, a double and a bunk bedroom. Both are comfortable and perfect for getting a good rest before a busy day. Finally, there’s a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. This lodge comes with a decking area, secured by a wooden fence, where you can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature, or eat your meals on the table provided. The extended facilities are in a large barn, and some are only available in certain seasons. There’s a shared laundry area, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a jacuzzi and a sauna.
You’ll be in a fairly remote area, so if you need supplies or fancy a hearty meal in a dog-friendly pub, try Ambleside (5 miles). There are some wonderful historic spots around, such as Wray Castle (4.5 miles) which is dog friendly, with a cafe, nice grounds and activities for children, and National Trust’s Allan Bank and Grasmere (6.5 miles), a 19th-century villa with a cafe and garden, also dog-friendly. Then there are the nature spots, such as Skelwith Force, 0.5 miles, and Cathedral Cave, 3 miles.
