Roam the fells of the Lake District with your family, friends and canine companion from this gorgeous, group farmhouse. Sleeping 12 guests, the impressive, six-bedroom retreat makes the perfect base for a large party, especially if seeking dog-friendly accommodation. Situated 9 miles from Pooley Bridge, it nestles in a glorious, rural setting and has spectacular views for you to enjoy and a simply magnificent garden for your much-adored pet.

Enter the retreat, which has split-level accommodation, and follow your four-legged friend your way up some stairs to the stunning kitchen/diner, with its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and mezzanine level above. Prepare food for your hungry hound and humans, unwind at the breakfast bar, then wander through to the lounge/diner, via more steps, to light the wood burner in there and watch the Smart TV. Take your cheerful chum with you through to the cosy snug instead, where there is another wood burner for toasting chilly paws, or the games room. More stairs lead from here to a twin bedroom with a door to the garden. Another twin, two king-sizes and a bunk bedroom are on the ground floor, together with a family bathroom and family shower room. Within the main house, there is also a separate WC, boot room and utility room with WC. The cottage, accessed externally, has a delightful, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a wood burner, a shower room and mezzanine bedroom that can be made up as a twin or super-king-size by arrangement. Spend hours at a time exploring the multi-levelled garden with your delighted dog. Dine together out on the terrace. There is parking here for three cars.

Follow a section of the 20-mile Ullswater Way from the cottage. Visit the picturesque Aira Force Waterfall with your canine companion. Take a trip on a dog-friendly Ullswater Steamer.

Hidden Gem! Nettleslack is a beautiful property tucked away in Boredale, a quiet, peaceful and sparsely populated valley about 25-30 minutes from Penrith. The property is well maintained with modern kitchen and bathrooms. WiFi, for those who are looking for connectivity, is excellent and is via starlink.

Lovely location, isolated but in the best possible way, at the foot of a fell with Ulswater on the other side. Fantastic house that was perfect for the 3 generations of our extended family: the games room was a particular hit!

A great rural location, few walks from the house. Lovely log burners for that cosy evening after the walks. Lots of room for all, no matter what you want to do, read,play a game, watch a film or chat. Just remember to take supplies as no little shop close, which is our attraction. Beautiful views, peace and quiet. Stunning.

A fantastic if remote location. A great base for walking right from the door and an ideal house in which to spend the day if the weather is bad. So much space for a multi generation family. The wood burners made the cottage so warm and inviting. Being able to purchase any extra logs from the woodstore was very convenient. We all loved our stay and Read morehope to return one day. Hide

Very unique peaceful property. Wonderful location. If you want to get away from it all then this place is perfect. We took a large family group and there was plenty of space and an excellent games room for entertainment. The hosts were very helpful. Great place

The property was beautiful, spacious and very well stocked. The location was unique and it was nice to be remote and cut off from the busier parts! We enjoyed some nice local walks. The facilities in the house were also fantastic. The games room in particular was a hit with the younger family members! We were overall very satisfied with the stay
