A stunning cottage set in a rural spot in the sought-after region of the Lake District. This luxurious property provides walking opportunities from the front door, which is perfect for two happy hounds and their six human friends.

Go barking mad for the gorgeous neutral tones and whimsical rustic style decor in this two-storey accommodation. Cosy up on the comfy sofa with a glass of freshly poured wine as Rover and Roxy warm their furry paws in front of the wood burner. Rustle up tea for six in the well-equipped shaker-style kitchen, and store all your favourite snacks in the American-style fridge/freezer, and of course, not forgetting nibbles for the pups, too. After dinner, spend time with the whole party in the snug, where you'll find comfy seating, books and board games for a little healthy competition. When it's time for bed, head upstairs to one of three sumptuous bedrooms: a king-size with an en-suite shower room and incredible views across the Cumbria Way, another king-size with equally beautiful views and a home-from-home twin room. In the morning, make yourself a coffee from the Nespresso machine and take it out to the enclosed private patio garden, where pups and kids can frolic to their heart's content.

If you can tear yourself away from this charming home, then there are plenty of places to take your pooches out on an adventure. Just 8 miles from Coniston Water, this magnificent spot is perfect for pups to burn off energy while the humans take in the first-class views of its imposing mountain, The Old Man of Coniston. You can also paddle to Peel Island on a kayak, should you fancy travelling by water. Traditional Sunday roasts are easy to come by thanks to the many Cumbrian villages surrounding the property, including the nearby market town of Ulverston (7 miles), which boasts many dog-friendly eateries, plus many food festivals to celebrate.

Absolutely amazing property and people. We knew the Lakes in December meant bad weather so we wanted a lovely house to spend time in. We were very very happy with our choice. Lots of space, warm and cosy. Tesco found us no problems. The house binder had many great suggestions for walks and places to visit (which we used). They left us a gorgeous trRead moreeats basket on arrival and some food so we could feed the goats which wevenjoyed. We would 100% stay again. Hide

What a beautiful place to stay. Impeccable taste that made us feel welcomed and at home. Pulling up to the farmhouse and seeing the Christmas lights on and a tree in the room, with the scent of cinnamon and orange was an indication of how much care and attention has been taken with the property. Everything you could need in a luxury home from home.Read more Didn't matter about the rain. We had the woodburner and games and fantastic views. Great location for walking the dog and relaxing. We will be back. Hide
