After a waggy-tailed day out in the glorious Lake District, this welcoming apartment is the perfect place for families, friends and canine companions to relax, unwind and recharge. For happy-hound heaven, there are walkies galore in the area, and a dog-friendly 17th-century pub just a few metres away.
Climb the external stone steps to reach your first-floor apartment, which is decorated in a modern/rustic style for comfort and convenience. Follow Fido into the lounge, where you’ll find inviting sofas gathered around a wood burner – all the better for snuggling up with a book, playing board games or watching the SkyTV as your pup snoozes by your feet. The adjacent kitchen/diner is light, bright and practically fitted out for convenient cooking, with a coffee machine for that all-important morning cuppa and plenty of space on the tiled floor for your mutt’s food bowls. All on the same level, there are three lovely bedrooms: a king-size, a double and a twin, sharing a sleek bathroom. Delighted dogs can sniff around and chase their tails in the outside space: a patio where you can enjoy a drink or a BBQ while you watch your furry friend play.
The apartment is set in Newton-in-Cartmel, where the village pub also happens to be a Michelin-star restaurant. In Cartmel, 6 miles, you’ll find a range of shops and more fabulous places to eat, while the village of Lakeside, at the tip of Lake Windermere, is just 4.5 miles, from where you can take a nostalgic train journey or a steamer cruise on the water. For canine chums who love new experiences, well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome aboard both trains and boats.
