Bring your canine companions away for an active adventure at this luxurious property and you’ll be able to access the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Beauty for incredible walkies. What’s more, the cottage has been finished to an exceptionally high standard helping you to kick back and relax, whilst the enclosed garden features a wide expanse of lawn where your pups will love to play.

This abode has been designed with socialising in mind with a free-flowing format through the open-plan living area and out into the garden. Kick back and relax on the sofa located beside the patio door so that you can soak in the views, or watch your canine out the window. At the rear of the room is the monochromatic kitchen with a Belfast sink and ample space to prepare a family feast. Meanwhile, the four-seater dining table sits in the centre of the room. The first floor features a contemporary bathroom with a comfortable bathtub, alongside three bedrooms. Bedroom one is the master, furnished with a delightful double bed and benefitting from an en-suite. In addition, there is a second double bedroom, decorated in calming neutral tones for a good night’s rest, and a single bedroom, ideally suited to children. On sunny days, you can dine alfresco on the patio, or play garden games on the spacious lawn.

Let your dog lead the way on a stretch of the iconic Coast to Coast Path which spans 182 miles in total between the east and west coasts of England, passing through Kirkby Stephen making it accessible within a mile of your doorstep. Why not make a trip to see one of England’s most spectacular waterfalls, High Force (24 miles)? Located in the North Pennines the circular walk is just under 5 miles and brings you to some perfectly picturesque locations to stop off for a picnic. Further afield, Lake Windermere (30 miles) is a great day out for all ages, offering pet-friendly cruises along the water for a leisurely afternoon activity.

The cottage was luxuriously decorated and furnished and very clean. It was like living in a show house. Every need was catered for. The beds were very comfortable and I personally had the best week's sleep in a long time. Very quiet location yet only a few minutes walk from the town. Co Op store also a few mins walk from house.

Overall the Cottage was of a good standard, but we found a few slight issues. Although its on a Private Estate of approximately 20 properties that is not stated in Itenary. Out of the way to visit places, meaning long journeys. Not really a dog friendly cottage.
