Tucked away in the Western Lakeland village of Waberthwaite, this stone-built three-bedroom escape is perfect for a group of adventurers and their waggy-tailed companion. Boasting original features and a warming wood burner, the house is surrounded by rolling farmland and stunning natural landscapes, with plenty of trails for eager paws to explore.

Inside, light-filled interiors are enhanced by the natural beauty of exposed wooden beams and picture windows. The heart of the home is the open-plan living space, where a contemporary kitchen and adjacent utility area make holiday cooking a breeze. A dining table is positioned by a large window, offering views of the garden while you enjoy a relaxed meal. When it’s time to unwind, sink into one of the cosy sofas in the lounge area, where a Smart TV provides entertainment, and the wood burner crackles away on cooler evenings – an ideal spot for your furry friend to curl up and doze. The master bedroom awaits on the ground floor, boasting a king-sized bed, exposed beams, and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, two snug double bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, while a bright family bathroom completes the layout. Step outside into the cottage-style garden, where a lawn and patio provide plenty of space for your four-legged friend to stretch their legs while you soak up the fresh country air. Private parking for three cars is provided.

When it comes to dining, a dog-friendly village inn ensures that you can enjoy hearty meals without the fuss of cooking, while the renowned family butchers across the road offers a tempting selection of locally made bacon and Fido's favourite – sausages! Outdoor enthusiasts will love exploring the nearby Eskdale, Duddon, and Wasdale valleys, where endless trails provide plenty of sights (and sniffs) for your four-pawed friend. Energetic pups can take on the challenge of Scafell Pike, or if you prefer a more leisurely pace, head 4 miles north to Ravenglass, a picturesque coastal hamlet within the Lake District National Park. Hop aboard the narrow-gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway for a scenic ride back in time with Rover by your side.

A lovely stay on the quieter side of the Lakes, great distance from Scafell, Wasdale and Yewbarrow for some tasty hikes! Cottage was fab for a family of four and the dog, plenty of space and the log burner was a great touch to warm us all up after a day out exploring in the colder months.

Really lovely cottage in the Cumbrian countryside. Beautiful location, a bit of driving required if you want to go and see places but really lovely places to explore. Highly recommend the railway, Eskdale Mill and the beach.

Unfortunately this property was a disappointment because of the dog situation and not private sitting having a meal only to have children walking straight past the window. Then opening the door to be greeted by numerous chickens wandering around. Also left to go get some shopping and returned to be informed by my son who stayed in that someone haRead mored rocked up and cut the grass .Why would you do that when someone has paid money to rent the place for the week. surely it should of been done prior to us arriving. We left early because it was anything but a relaxing stay if you sit out on the paved area all you can hear is some kind of generator whirring which is hidden in the rockery/plants,or what sounded like gun fire in the distance not what we had envisioned at all Hide
