Step straight out to take your furry friend to stroll beside the beautiful River Eden when you stay at this exquisite cottage in Cumbria. Sleeping just two guests, the delightful, one-bedroom, pet-friendly hideaway is ideal for that romantic getaway with a pup in tow. Including a patio for outdoor relaxation, the delightful, stone abode nestles in the market town of Kirkby Stephen, at the heart of the Upper Eden Valley, and boasts an array of fabulous dog walks right from the front door.

Tear yourselves away from the river views to follow your happy hound inside this delectable retreat. Find yourselves in a bright, airy lounge/kitchen/diner, where your chum can curl up in a quiet corner and you can relax on the soft seating. Give soft ears a good stroke and read your books for a spell before heading over to the kitchen area to rustle up tasty treats for yourselves and your four-pawed pal. Enjoy romantic dinners for two as you gaze out over the river and your contented canine daydreams about his Cumbrian adventures. Have a hot soak in the shower room downstairs, settle your furry friend for the night then climb the stairs to your comfortable bedroom/snug. The snug features a sofa and Smart TV where you can catch up on your latest box set before laying your head in the double bed. Have coffee out on the patio on sunny mornings, then take your chum along the river bank on the other side of the cottage. There is off-road parking for one car here.

Tire furry feet with a 7-mile walk through a secluded gorge and past the Smardale Gill Viaduct, 5 miles away, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Venture 19 miles to enjoy a dog-friendly day out in the Lake District, with its glorious scenery and fabulous footpaths.  Due to the size of the property, it is more suited to small well behaved dogs
