Oozing character and charm, this 17th-century cottage is nestled within the splendour of the Cumbrian landscape with delightful decor throughout. Let the adventures begin by exploring the endless outdoor activities available with seven loved ones and two pampered pooches.
Sympathetically renovated with elegance all around, this cottage provides guests with a homely, rustic atmosphere as soon as you step through the front door. Feed the pups and hang up waterproofs in the utility before popping on the kettle and perching at the breakfast bar. This well-equipped kitchen is a gorgeous hub for lazy brunches or hearty dinners and offers splendid countryside views through the patio doors. While your canines watch the birds soar across the landscape, head into the open-plan lounge/diner and curl up in front of a film with the wood burner crackling in the background. When it's time for bed, say goodnight to sleepy pups and choose from the ground floor single bedroom with garden access or head up to the first floor for three more sleeping arrangements. Discover a restful king-size or double bedroom, both with crisp bedding or make use of the twin bedroom. In the morning, treat your hounds to a run in the wildlife garden at the rear of the property while you admire the dragonflies taking flight above the pond.
Sniff out the unspoiled splendour of the Cumbrian landscape by going for walkies along one of the nearby walking trails or bike tracks. Lead your four-legged friends on a memorable trip to Coniston Fells (11 miles), or go on a voyage across Coniston Water (7.5 miles) on a mid-Victorian passenger yacht for something a little different. Recharge your batteries at the charming village of Broughton-in-Furness, 2.5 miles away, where you'll find a variety of high-quality places to eat and drink or pick up produce from the array of butchers and shops available.
