Property code: OC-93302

Spend time with all your loved ones, four-pawed pals included, of course, in this incredible Windermere property where 10 guests and two dogs can stay. Presented with panoramic views that you won’t be quick to forget, this stunning country cottage is yours to relax in on a pet-friendly getaway in the Cumbrian town of Windermere. The location is sure to set tails wagging, with Lake Windermere just half a mile away and the incredible Lakeland fells and hills waiting to be hiked close by. Get out with your good boy each day, exercising any energetic pup with a long walk before heading home to unwind amongst unrivalled comfort.

The impressive views take centre stage at this property, with picture windows and private terrace space providing far-reaching landscapes to be enjoyed. Enter onto the first floor where an extremely spacious lounge is equipped with lots of comfy seating, a TV and a wood burner for those cosy nights in with Rover curled up lovingly at your feet. For mealtimes, we’re sure you’ll enjoy some canine company whilst rustling up a dish in the next-door kitchen, and dinners can be served either in the dining room or outdoors. You’ll then find sleeping quarters split across the ground and second floors; each storey accompanied by bathrooms for use during the night.

It's just a gentle 1-mile stroll into Windermere’s town centre, an ideal length for a morning dog walk and the chance to grab coffee or a fresh breakfast pastry. Once energised, discover a world of pup-friendly adventure on the banks of Windermere, including a lake cruise north to Ambleside (3 miles) or south to Lakeside (9.5 miles). To take in the best views out across the lake, cross the water and hike up Claife Heights (4.5 miles) with your bounding bowows eagerly leading the way.

We stayed at Stybarrow Fold with our three adult children and their wives/husbands for four nights in May. It is a beautiful house - everyone had a large bedroom and the reception rooms are fantastic. We played board games, watched a film together, and just relaxed together - wonderful. There is a really good footpath from across the road into WindRead moreermere - takes 20 minutes - so it's a fabulous location. Hide

Lovely house, with amazing views. Cosy and warm and great for all ages. We were a party of 9 with three generations, with two dogs, ranging from 2 years upwards. Layout was perfect as each family group had their own level and bathroom. Highly recommend.

Easy parking for cars and house felt very private. Not sure if I mentioned the views they are amazing and even all the grandkids would sit and stare at the lakes and mountains. Made their day when the jets went past and we were sat on the balcony, felt like a personnel flypast lol Hide

The cottage is in a great location with fantastic views! Everyday we couldn't believe our eyes when we looked out the window. Close enough to the town centre but also very peaceful. Kitchen is well equipped, rooms are very spacious. We did have a few issues with the property but we have given our feedback to the owner so hopefully these issuRead morees are solved for future guests. One thing that we didn't realise when booking is that although we selected that we needed a bedroom downstairs for access reasons the bedroom isn't on the same level as the living room/kitchen it's down another set of stairs so not suitable for those needing an accessible bedroom.

We loved the house. The views were spectacular. We had 3 generations and 10 people there and it was roomy for us to gather together or spread around. The kitchen, Aga and fridge freezer were brilliant. A couple of clothes airers would have been helpful. A wonderful cottage in a good situation and did I mention the views?!

The views are amazing and quite made the week for us and just for that we would recommend Sky Barrow Fold. But the house and furniture are looking tired and worn in some places and could do with being updated. Some of us slept well and others didnt, as in all things preferences differ and there was an unpleasant smell coming from one of the ground Read morefloor bedrooms which for us, made it impossible to sleep in.

Fantastic space and incredible views! The pictures really dont do the views justice. We stayed for a week as a family of 7 adults. The kitchen is really well equipped, and the lounge has lots of games and books, including some helpful books suggesting some great walks. We loved we could walk out into National Trust land for a couple of walks.
